Confessions of a Superhero

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.

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.

This movie is an absolute delight and a great opportunity for anyone wishing to learn how to do high impact filmmaking on a reasonably low budget.

Be it the lighting or the colours or the production design- everything is done so so well!

Also the music is sublime!! All the songs and the overall soundtrack is very fresh. Each character gets a proper theme as well.

Overall, the film has a great recall value and is a must watch for anyone looking for a nice slice of life indie film with a lot of good South Asian representation. Such a cool coming of age film and it has no business being this good!

I had the privilege of attending the movie premiere and viewing it on a large screen, and was completely enthralled. The colour scheme of the movie was fantastic. Every scene's colours are related to Samar's colour palette, and the audience is led to assume that they are a part of Samar's world.

I was deeply impressed by the way Samar's various relationships with the other characters were depicted. The mood of the era was powerfully represented and expressively captured in the movie. The movie's concept is incredibly creative, as it explores the range of feelings that a person going through adolescence feels.

I loved the contrast in demeanour between Samar and Zeitgeist.

Zeitgeist's exuberant character was performed masterfully!
