Direction of Surya S/O Krishnan
Surya S/O Krishnan is not the first movie crafted by Gautham Vasudev Menon and I am sure it will not be the last. With time I have learned, Gautham Vasudev Menon has a special ability to deeply connect with the audience.
While he is well renowned for his way of telling a story and while using different elements such as emotions, he surely does use it in this film.
Because of his direction, the film has emotional depth in addition to spectacular visuals. With his immense knowledge and understanding of human emotions and relationships, this film stands tall among his greatest movies.
The Star-Studded Cast
Sameera Reddy is another amazing addition into the cast. She has done pretty well to Suriya and her character warms up the narrative. Suriya Sivakumar, one of the most versatile actors in Indian cinema, is nothing short of remarkable.
He portrays the title character so that all through the film, Suriya goes through different stages of his life, using emotions at each of those stages.
Sameera Reddy becomes an important character because she is very important in the storyline. She is elegant and charming and delivers an assertive performance that breaks the stereotypes that she is just a pretty actress.
Although Sameera and Suriya are the stars of the film, the supporting cast is equally superb. Each supporting actor is wonderful in their own right as they play their roles beautifully incorporating all the elements needed to make Surya S/O Krishnan come alive.
Harris Jayaraj’s Melodic Magic
Soulful music is an indispensable part of every Gautham Vasudev Menon movie, and Surya S/O Krishnan is no exception. The songs in this movie’s soundtrack are among the best Harris Jayaraj has composed, and let me tell you, they are memorable after you listen to them.
The film’s soundtrack ranges from foot-tapping dance numbers to heartbreaking ballads. Every piece of music in this film is a character by itself. Each song is incredibly well integrated and assists the story’s themes and emotions.
Cinematography and Production Design
There is so much care put into every single frame and how each one blends emotion and location together. The production design makes you feel as if you are watching the actual world that the filmmakers constructed. It contributes to the story’s authenticity.
Plot

The heart of Surya S/O Krishnan is its narrative skillfully chronicled the intricacies of relationships; love, loss and life. The story delves into the intricacies of life relationships, the hardships of being separated and exquisite parts of self-discovery.
On the other hand, the paper appreciates the harsh realities of life: it addresses, in a head on way, the scourge of existence, but also extols the beauty of human bonds. This makes it so much clear that life is full of ups and downs and it is us who need to grab its essence and make the best out of it.
Review

Excellent story telling combined with the experiences of the film is the best evidence of the impact and brilliance cinema has.
