Superboys Of Malegaon Movie Review: This Film Cannot Be From Bollywood??

In 2019, a film came along that left all others behind, and the film industry itself chose it to be sent to the Oscars. The name was Gully Boy. The film worked wonders by making the Indian audience fall in love with rap music. It found a story that earned Bollywood respect in everyone's hearts. Now, six years later, the same creators have brought a film which, after watching, will make the public fall in love with cinema all over again. You will also say, "Bollywood is alive." From Maharashtra comes a story so captivating that once you watch it, your heart will never be satisfied, you will want to watch it at least a hundred times. Get ready to shed tears. The film is called Superboys of Malegaon.

Very few people may have heard this name, and it's better that way, the fewer who know about it, the more underrated this film remains. People buy tickets and go to the theatre, but this film will take you to another world. You won’t be able to tell if what you’re watching is cinema or real life. Just look carefully at the poster once, each actor embodies the talent of the entire film industry, just waiting for the chance that you all will give them. You may not believe it now, but after watching the film, you will. Let me tell you upfront: this strange, almost unbelievable story is based on a true incident. How to turn zero investment into three lakh rupees? If you want to learn, the longer you watch this film, the more chances you get to earn.

The story takes place in a narrow lane of a small town in Maharashtra, where a grand wedding is happening. More important than the bride and groom is the cameraman. If photos are not taken in style during the wedding, then what’s the point of the marriage? But here the situation is a bit tricky because the girl in front of the camera was in love with the cameraman himself. But she couldn’t marry him and had to marry someone else. While shooting this tragedy, the man behind the camera got an idea as to why not make his own film with this same camera?

Now the problem is, there’s only twelve thousand rupees in the pocket, but the dreams are worth twelve lakhs. If making a film were so easy, children would become Karan Johars before becoming doctors or engineers. Everyone has heard of Sholay, but how many know about the Sholay of Malegaon? Just watch it once, without forgetting the original. In a way, you will see a film being made inside the film with your own eyes. The amazing thing is, this film is made not with a budget but with dreams. But it’s not that simple, this story is more dramatic than many films, including comedy, tragedy, action, suspense, and a heart-breaking climax. You must be prepared for that in advance. What’s the use if you have to cry like a child in front of other kids?

A film within a film, and that too a real-life story. Earning three lakh rupees from zero investment sounds fun, but watching it will be ten times more enjoyable. It’s been a long time since such a film came along that doesn’t care about box office collections- no 100 crores or 1000 crores. The only aim is to reach the public and connect with their hearts. Don’t get confused; this is not a boring motivational film. On the contrary, it’s full of entertainment in a desi style. Big actors stay away from such films. That’s why the casting is the best part because they have chosen actors who are completely new to a large audience. No supporting or side roles; everyone is a lead hero.

People don’t know what to expect, and that becomes the biggest surprise because no one can guess the real superhero of the story. It’s a two-hour film with not a single unnecessary scene. Only after 120 minutes will you take your eyes off the screen, completely lost in another world. It’s a simple film, no need to use much brain, but it’s impossible to keep your heart out of it till the end. The emotions are very real. Just one thing, whether you go to the theatre or not, do watch this film on OTT with your family. Your family will surely appreciate your taste in cinema.

The film will get three and a half stars out of five. The casting, subject, emotions, and the amazing surprise climax are all strong points. On the downside, the music is a bit less, even though the scope was huge. Also, while the first half is exciting, it can be quite predictable at times. This is not a Superman film; it’s a film of super boys. And if you want to be a super audience, don’t make the mistake of missing this film, whether at home or outside, do watch it.
