'Super Deluxe's initial release and critical reception
Super Deluxe received positive reviews upon its initial release and was penned by four writers: Kumararaja, Mysskin, Nalan Kumarasamy, and Neelan K Sekar. The film's performances were also recognized with numerous awards, with Sethupathi winning the National Film Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in the film. Krishnan was awarded the Ananda Vikatan Cinema Awards under the Best Supporting Actress category.
Sethupathi's disappointment over film's Oscars snub
Despite its acclaim, Super Deluxe did not make it to India's official entry for the Oscars in 2019 and Gully Boy was chosen over it. Back then, Sethupathi said, "That was heartbreaking for us as well." He added that he would have still wanted the film to go to the Oscars even if he was not part of it. Currently available for streaming on Netflix, Super Deluxe holds an impressive IMDb rating of 8.2/10.
