The film "hints at redefining superhero genre" by casting older actors in the roles of superheroes, which are usually portrayed by youngsters.[{{Cite web |date=15 October 2022 |title=Super Senior Heroes hints at redefining superhero genre |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movies/news/bhagyaraj-starrer-super-senior-heroes-hints-at-redefining-superhero-genre/articleshow/94880854.cms |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230327165704/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movies/news/bhagyaraj-starrer-super-senior-heroes-hints-at-redefining-superhero-genre/articleshow/94880854.cms |archive-date=27 March 2023 |access-date=20 August 2023 |website=[The Times of India](/source/The_Times_of_India) |agency=[IANS](/source/Indo-Asian_News_Service)}}] According to the director, "There’ll be parallel tracks of comedy which don’t ever entwine with the spine of the film. It’s like an item song—the comedy is an extra thing. You don’t need to understand the story or the film to understand the comedy. This isn’t the case with ''Super Senior Heroes''."[{{Cite web |date=13 October 2022 |title=A Peek Into The Writer's Room Of Karthik Kumar's Directorial Debut Comedy 'Super Senior Heroes' |url=https://deadant.co/interview-a-peek-into-the-writers-room-of-karthik-kumars-directorial-debut-comedy-super-senior-heroes/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230329182345/https://deadant.co/interview-a-peek-into-the-writers-room-of-karthik-kumars-directorial-debut-comedy-super-senior-heroes/ |archive-date=2023-03-29 |access-date=2023-08-20 |website=Deadant}}]

== Reception ==
A critic from ''[Thanthi TV](/source/Thanthi_TV)'' felt that the film's comedy worked well but the film lagged due to its wafer-thin, predictable storyline.[{{Cite web |date=28 October 2022 |title='சூப்பர் சீனியர் ஹீரோ' படம் எப்படி இருக்கு நடிப்பில் மிரட்டும் 80'S சூப்பர் ஹீரோஸ் |url=https://www.thanthitv.com/latest-news/movie-review-145240 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230603134141/https://www.thanthitv.com/latest-news/movie-review-145240 |archive-date=3 June 2023 |access-date=20 August 2023 |website=[Thanthi TV](/source/Thanthi_TV) |language=ta}}]
