Superboys of Malegaon is a film based on the life of Nasir Shaikh, an amateur filmmaker from the town of Malegaon. The residents of the town look to Bollywood cinema for a much needed escape from daily drudgery. Nasir gets inspired to make a film for the people of Malegaon, by the people of Malegaon. He bands together his ragtag group of friends to bring his vision to life, thereby bringing a fresh lease of life into the town. The film is a poignant yet uplifting take on both filmmaking and friendship -- and what happens when those two worlds collide.

Peter Bradshaw Guardian There is terrific fun, charm and storytelling energy in Superboys of Malegaon, and it settles on an interesting theme: very rarely indeed does a new film-maker find success with a completely original work. Rated: 4/5 Oct 11, 2024 Full Review Elizabeth Weitzman TheWrap With so many solemn subjects coming out of the fall festivals, it’s nice to find a crowd-pleasing charmer in this uplifting fictionalized biopic. Sep 27, 2024 Full Review Namrata Joshi The New Indian Express It's an exploration of these fellowships and solidarities, the reciprocity and admiration that went into the making of Malegaon cinema, that give the film its emotional heft. Sep 20, 2024 Full Review Heidy Morales Hye's Musings 'Superboys of Maleagaon' is not only a biopic relating the life of Shaikh and his close friends, but also a caring look at the ‘magic’ that movies and friendship can create. Oct 28, 2024 Full Review Shah Shahid Film-Forward.com Superboys of Malegaon captures the passion for filmmaking that transcends borders, cultures, and economic situations. DIrector Reema Kagti creates a compelling narrative with fleshed-out characters and incredible performances. Oct 16, 2024 Full Review Christopher Llewellyn Reed Hammer to Nail They may be as human as are you and I, but for a brief moment, thanks to Superboys of Malegaon, they are super, indeed.
