Confessions of a Superhero

I will say right now that the cinematography mixed with the heartfelt direction is damn refreshing to see. I'm an avid cinephile and frequent festivals as well, so to be quite honest it gets tiring seeing film students making the same stuff over and over again. So this film came in as a breath of fresh air, probably because it wasn't made as a final assignment or graduate project.

I loved the way Inderveer treats the story with both a grounded and delicate human perspective on relationships, while creating a sense of fantasy as well with the setting. And the atmosphere is supported superbly by DP Chris Joys' striking imagery, which feels cozy yet bittersweet at times.

The movie left me wanting more by the end, I wish we got to see some of the ideas explored a little more but perhaps the longing I experienced is part of the charm, or maybe a financial limitation on the production.

And before I conclude, special nod to the background music and songs of the film. They are easily the heartbeat of the entire story, and without them, the film's soul would be missing.

What this man can do to pull you into the world he creates is insanity. I found myself feeling so connected to the characters, and it was as if I knew them. I am so impressed by the fact that he made this movie with only $24,000. The movie makes you think, it's relatable, and has every single emotion that captures the human experience. I loved it so much that I had to attend both screenings in person. I highly recommend that everyone go and watch this movie. To those that haven't watched it yet: please rectify this and check it out on Apple TV. I cannot wait to see what the talented Inderveer Sodhi does next.

Inderveer, the promising filmmaker, has delivered another outstanding piece of cinematic art with his second film. Having attended the premiere and experienced it on the big screen, I can confidently say that I do not regret my decision. This movie presents an intriguing concept, accompanied by exceptional dialogue and a profound connection among the characters. Without a doubt, I wholeheartedly recommend this masterpiece to all cinema enthusiasts, aspiring actors, and aspiring filmmakers.

One of the most remarkable aspects of this film is its captivating concept. Inderveer has once again showcased his creative brilliance by presenting a unique and thought-provoking idea. The movie's storyline pushes boundaries and explores uncharted territories, leaving the audience engrossed in its world from start to finish. By challenging conventional narratives, the film takes risks and rewards viewers with a refreshing experience that sets it apart from other mainstream productions.

Another strength lies in the movie's exceptional dialogue. Every word spoken by the characters feels meaningful and contributes to the depth of the narrative. Inderveer's ability to craft compelling conversations not only enhances the overall storytelling but also allows the audience to develop a strong emotional connection with the characters. The dialogue reflects the complexities of human relationships, delving into the depths of their thoughts and emotions, making the film a truly immersive experience.

Furthermore, the chemistry among the characters is a standout feature of this film. The cast delivers outstanding performances, effortlessly bringing their roles to life. Their interactions feel genuine and organic, creating a believable on-screen connection that resonates with the audience. The dynamics between the characters evolve throughout the story, allowing for moments of both tenderness and intensity. This genuine portrayal of human connections adds an extra layer of authenticity to the film.

Inderveer's directorial prowess is evident throughout the movie. His vision and meticulous attention to detail are showcased in every frame. From the visually stunning cinematography to the meticulous production design, each element contributes to the overall aesthetic appeal of the film. The skillful use of lighting and color schemes further enhances the mood and atmosphere of each scene, effectively immersing the audience in the story's world.

In addition to its technical brilliance, the film also tackles significant themes and societal issues. It prompts introspection and encourages viewers to contemplate the complexities of human existence. The narrative gracefully explores topics such as love, loss, identity, and personal growth, leaving a lasting impact on the audience. Through its thought-provoking storytelling, the movie transcends its entertainment value and becomes a catalyst for deeper reflections on life itself.

Inderveer's second film is an impressive achievement, solidifying his position as a talented filmmaker, director, and actor. His ability to create a captivating narrative, combined with exceptional dialogue and a profound connection among the characters, sets this movie apart from the rest. By pushing boundaries and delving into profound themes, Inderveer offers a refreshing cinematic experience that is both intellectually stimulating and emotionally resonant.

Ps. The score is great.

Even though it is set in a dystopian world, the themes and topics in the movie are so relevant today. Inderveer and his cast have done great job conveying the emotions we were all feeling while watching the movie. Complicated and conflicted relationships, comedy, drama, and romance. You get a bit of everything. While watching the movie, you want to relate it back to your own personal experience. The music and background score compliments the storyline and conveys the mood in the scene. If you are a nerd for production design and cinematography, this movie will be a treat for you. It was a great movie to watch and after awhile I am enjoying a movie where I am giving my full attention.

I was truly engulfed with the movie's premise right from the first frame. Not only does the colour palette and cinematography completely grip you into the world but the music also composed by Inderveer just captures your imagination right from the opening title track: Jab Se Aya. Super happy that the English translations were burned-in for all the songs in the film, they don't feel out of place being in Hindi but knowing the meaning definitely elevates the narrative.

Representation is something that is heavily pushed nowadays to the point of treating different races like an agenda rather than fitting into a genuine story or expression, but this film's cast which is mostly brown are just characters which was honestly so heartwarming. No one was playing a stereotype of a brown person, they just happened to be brown in a world of interesting characters if that makes sense.

Very impressed with the lead cast's performances, especially Inderveer and Daniela. Such raw chemistry.

Thank you Inderveer for making this film, I know you're gonna win an Oscar in a few years. I don't know how anyone could make this film with such a stupidly small amount of money.
