Supermen of Malegaon

I never knew of low budget movies are made in towns like Malegaon in India, so this documentary comes as a surprise. Shaikh Nasir has been making low budget movies in so called Mollywood and is popular after his recent hit Malegaon ka Sholay. He was always interested in Hollywood and it inspires his to make Supermen of Malegaon. He doesn't try to copy Superman itself but was more interested in providing his own touch something more comedy and more of Malegaon itself. Some of the scenes are so amazing that you can't stop laughing. Superman was a bit dull, I feel he could have chosen somebody else but villain was amazing and more of a real bollywood movie. The story of how he gets everything to work for with budget constraints that he has, excitement of people playing role and watching it happening in the city is just exhilarating to watch.

When I meet people from small town, I always feel that they have so much of talent but they never get what it deserve as they don't get the right opportunity. Hats off to Shaikh Nasir's commitment to make these movies and provide entertainment to the people of their city. I found documentary to be quiet entertaining. I am sure movie will turn out to be much more amazing and would be a treat to watch.

Not hollywood, not bollywood just great writing, great setting, great acting and a great story. Definitely surprised me which proves you dont need "fluff" to make a great film. 9/10.

Film had zero of what we see in modern films the location and simplicity added a lot for the authenticity you felt like you were there. The regular actors " regular people" also made the film relatable.

Had zero profanity, violence or nudity and kept the viewers attention. Would love to see more of these types of films made where the writing is great and it isn't driven by violence, sex or special effects etc. Most films nowadays are so dummed down yet people support them. #foodforthought.

The movie is so heart warming that I can't hold myself from writing about the movie. First time when I came across this title I thought it will be one of the C grade movies from the biggest film industry on planet. Then a friend recommended this movie in facebook. I have been watching all sort of movies in English,Hind,Korean,Telegu,Tamil and many other foreign languages but nothing has ever touched my heart or moved me like this one. I have never ever written a review so not sure how to write one for this outstanding work. All I can say is I have not only enjoyed the movie but I Loved the movie. In spite of a humble background how these extra ordinary men followed their dream or are still willing to follow their dreams will inspire everyone. Its a must watch for all the movie lovers. Far better than all the bol bacchans and Ishqzadesss

Like American Movie, SUPERMEN OF MALEGEON is a documentary about the very nature of film-making itself. The stars of the show are a group of low-budget film producers in central India who decide to make their own Superman spoof starring a little skinny guy who partakes in all kinds of silly slapstick scenarios. As with American Movie, the sheer enthusiasm of these guys makes the documentary fun to watch, and no doubt a lot better than the quality of the end product they're working on.

SUPERMEN OF MALEGAON isn't as good as American Movie by any means. The quirky characters are there, but they just aren't as well defined as in the US documentary. The best parts of the film are where we watch the various scenes of the movie being filmed with the crowd right behind the actors. The final clips shown at the climax are hilariously awful in a way that recalls the glorious old days of trash cinema like THE MAN WHO SAVES THE WORLD and Turkish E.T.

This movie is so funny, moving, charming, intelligent - such a totally engaging illustration of the never-old truth that wit, ambition, creativity, and ingenuity can turn up anyplace at any time.

In a poor and, to most of the rest of the world, not-known part of India, some people make, screen, and enjoy their own low-budget, high-effort versions of famous movies, from Bollywood and, in the adventure narrated here, Hollywood - in this one they're filming the story of Superman, re-presented as a local superhero, retaining of course his distinctive caped costume. Highlights include an interruption for the (very skinny) actor to attend his own wedding, and the wonderful story of the crew solving the problem of making Superman fly.
