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.

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 Siddhant Adlakha Variety A moving crowd-pleaser that constantly reaffirms its importance. Although it tries to cover too much ground, it continually circles back to the idea that people must see themselves reflected in art, not just out of want, but in order to live with dignity. Sep 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. Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Rachel West AWFJ.org Clocking in at just over two hours, Superboys of Malegaon’s plot is stretched too thin. Repetitive in nature, there simply isn’t enough of a story to justify the runtime, no matter how unique the real-life tale it is based on is. Sep 17, 2024 Full Review Dan Bayer Next Best Picture “Superboys of Malegaon” is good enough, but even the little bit we see of Nasir’s films is enough to know that there’s a much better film to be made of the material. Rated: 5/10 Sep 16, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
