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 Pete Hammond Deadline Hollywood Daily It has genuine heart in showing this ragtag group of fledgling filmmakers and the friendship they formed to make some unachievable Bollywood dreams actually come true. Sep 16, 2024 Full Review Jared Mobarak Hey, Have You Seen ...? Kagti does a great job capturing that do-it-yourself aesthetic and energy with an abundance of humor and heart. Gourav and Singh’s performances are paramount, but it's Arora who shines as their selfless heart who never forgets what's really at stake. Rated: 7/10 Sep 14, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
