Look no further: the missing link between Deadpool and Stephen Chow is Indian. Full of references, but that doesn’t affect its identity, The Man Who Feels No Pain is a singular, human and endearing superhero origin story. Vasan Bala plays with tonal and stylistic digressions, before connecting all the hero’s issues in a spectacular final act.
