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.

Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) Really good fun. Mar 10, 2025 Full Review Jonathan Romney Financial Times Quick-firing and jubilantly good-humoured — but with some pronounced heart-tugging — Reema Kagti’s film, scripted by Varun Grover, is also clever... Rated: 4/5 Mar 6, 2025 Full Review Proma Khosla IndieWire "Superboys" is dedicated those who devour and admire great movies rather than those who make them -- and quickly shows that the line between those two categories can be breached if you're brave enough. Rated: B Mar 4, 2025 Full Review Rajiv Prajapati The Asian Cut From a simple film about the rise of a grassroots film movement, the movie delves into what their little venture means in the grander context of art and cinema: the writer versus the producer, the artist versus the sellout. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 23, 2025 Full Review Sammie Purcell Rough Draft Atlanta When Nasir and his friends are working on a movie set, "Superboys of Malegaon" taps into the magic of moviemaking with real heart and gumption. Jul 18, 2025 Full Review MaryAnn Johanson Flick Filosopher Gentle, charming dramedy about pals in middle-of-nowhere India making amateur movies. The giddy glee in this winsome portrait of geeky passion and enduring friendship is all-around infectious. Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 7, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Shannon P Very enjoyable! I don't mind English subtitles, and find films from other countries fascinating. This movie was a slice of India, a group of young male fans of cinema in a poor rural area who set out to make their own local movie. Had silliness but also a true and moving story. Recommend! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/05/25 Full Review Ameya J An ode to film making and friendship. you can see what a talented cast can pull off when given a chance to shine, every moment spent with these actors was heartfelt, they rope you in.
