Superboys of Malegaon

The story based on a real-life group of friends in Malegaon who one day decide to make their own film. The film is an absolute love towards cinema, yet its core theme is friendship. Writer who has written the film and has done a very good job. The dialogues are realistic and expressive, while the comic scenes are organic.

However, there are some letdowns in the screenplay which are like a bit dragging in the second half and certain conflicts being treated in a way much usual nature. Yet, the film makes up beautiful climax. . .

The art direction, costume, and makeup ate brilliantly done in such a low budget with research and predetermined procedure, while the cinematography is appropriate.

. CAST: Casting is adequate. Adarsh Gourav performed well for a boy who dreams of making his own films and delivers a very satisfying job. Vineet also performed well as per our expectations.

. Directed well and editing is okay in every aspect.

Highly recommended!

Yaar, kya film hai. Simple, grounded, and refreshingly honest. It's that rare kind of cinema which doesn't shout to be heard, it just quietly moves you.

The story is rooted in reality and doesn't shy away from showing the emotional and financial risks of chasing dreams. It shows how difficult it is to balance passion with practicality, something most of us desi folks have felt at some point.

Characters feel real, flawed, and relatable. No overdone drama, just raw emotions and unfiltered storytelling.

Farogh's obsession with authenticity, his resistance to compromise, and his eventual realization that morals sometimes have to wait till survival is secured is beautifully done. It's rare to see a Hindi film that admits selfishness and emotional clashes exist even in small towns. That felt so fresh.

And films like these aren't even trying too hard to be artsy or message driven. They just stay true to the story, the real story that it is based on, and to the people, and to the rooted emotions. Aur wahi sabse bada impact daal jaata hai. No overacting, no "massy" overkill, no unnecessary tragedy. Just real people trying to live life, juggle dreams and responsibilities, with dignity.

And I loved Nasir and Shabeena's chemistry. This duo of Gaurav and Muskaan should probably think of doing more cinema as a pair. It's rare to see a film handle love and marriage with that kind of emotional maturity, especially without drowning it in melodrama. Just quiet moments of understanding between two people.

I just came out of an extremely bittersweet "special screening" of Superboys of Malegaon. The movie was simply fantastic with a perfect mix of heartwarming emotional drama and sweet realistic humor, augmented by terrific performances by an exceptional group of actors. The bitter part of the experience was the aspect of the "special screening" of the movie. Sitting absolutely alone in a theater on the opening weekend of a truly amazing piece of cinema. A beautifully crafted movie that deserves an audience, had absolutely no audience. Such a shame especially in a world where so many complaint about lack of originality, art and quality cinema.

Reema Kagti has done a terrific job making a movie about fans who love movies so much that they make their own movies. The story is based on the true story of the real Superboys of Malegaon who created their own mini film industry (un)known for its spoof comedies of great Bollywood and Hollywood movies. These Superboys first (almost) came into the limelight with the 2012 documentary "Supermen of Malegaon" which inspired Reema and team to bring their story to life on the big screen.

The movie is fast and entertaining with a healthy dose of scenes and performances that will make its viewer smile a lot, feel warm and good inside, think about things that are important in their lives and even tear up a bit. A simple and powerful story, passionately captured on camera with a superb group of artists infusing their characters with heart and soul.

Adarsh Gourav gives another exceptional performance as the movie's main superboy and is brilliantly supported by Vineet Kumar, Shashank Arora, Muskkaan Jaferi, Manjiri Pupala and practically every actor and actress in the movie. Each performance is truly heartfelt, real, wholesome, uplifting and awe inspiring. Which is why it was such a bittersweet experience watching such a well made movie in an empty theater.

It would be absolutely correct for people to say that such movies are meant for OTT and not for the big screen. However it is important for all to understand and recognize that this is the reason why such heartwarming movies cant find any place in theaters anymore. The Bollywood box office has completely transformed itself from a place where a big budget Ramesh Sippy blockbuster could play side by side with a heartwarming Hrishikesh Mukherjee movie to one that only has an appetite for over the top commercial cinema.

Such movies need and deserve support from their target audience. So if you want to experience a heartwarming tale about real people with dreams to become superheroes, grab a seat in the nearest empty hall near you that is still playing Superboys of Malegaon. It will not disappoint. Absolutely loved it. 9/10.

It's refreshing to watch stories of real people of India. Our country is so diverse and has a rich culture. If we actually start searching, we'd find unbelievable stories of people which can move people. This movie is an attempt towards that. Hoping more bollywood directors would get inspired and make more movies like this.

I'm so done with mass entertainment movies. They seem like replica of each other and there's nothing original about them.

At the same time, audience needs to watch and support such cinema. It was sad to see a nearly empty theatre.

All the actors did an amazing job :) Highly recommended!

This is one of the best Bollywood movies I've watched in ages! From start to finish, it kept me completely engaged. I absolutely loved the casting-every actor fit their role perfectly and delivered outstanding performances. The cinematography was visually stunning, enhancing the storytelling beautifully. The comic timing was spot-on, making the humor land effortlessly without feeling forced. A huge salute to the director and the entire crew for creating such a well-crafted and entertaining film.

I truly enjoyed every moment of this movie, and my family had a fantastic time watching it as well. It's been a long time since we came across a film that blends entertainment, emotions, and humor so seamlessly. I generally don't write reviews, but this movie deserves much more than just a review-it deserves all the appreciation and love! Highly recommended to everyone who enjoys quality cinema.
