Super Deluxe Movie Review
All the actors in the movie delivered exceptional performances, with Fahadh Faasil and Samantha Akkineni standing out for their powerful portrayals. I’m particularly captivated by Fahadh’s expressive eyes; they convey so much emotion without needing any dialogue, showcasing the beauty of his performance.
Vijay Sethupathi is another brilliant actor in the Malayalam industry, and his role in Super Deluxe is nothing short of marvelous. He takes on a very challenging character, and his mannerisms, inner thoughts, body language, and dialogue delivery are notably different from his previous films. I truly enjoy his performances; you can see a significant transformation in his body language and demeanor from the first scene to the last, which feels incredibly natural. I’m absolutely obsessed with his acting skills!
The four children also delivered hilarious performances, showcasing their impressive acting abilities. Each boy brought a unique brilliance to their roles, making their performances a joy to watch.
