TIFF 2024: Superboys of Malegaon (With Movie Trailer)
Get ready to be inspired by Superboys of Malegaon, a film about passion, friendship, and creativity, premiering at TIFF 2024! Directed by Reema Kagti (Talaash) and produced by Zoya Akhtar (Gully Boy), this heartwarming movie is based on the true story of Nasir Shaikh, a local filmmaker who turned his small Indian town into a hub of creativity and grassroots filmmaking.
The Story
It’s 1997, and Nasir (played by The White Tiger‘s Adarsh Gourav) is obsessed with movies. Living in the small town of Malegaon, far from the Bollywood spotlight, Nasir decides to create his own films using nothing but borrowed equipment and the help of his friends. His first success? A hilarious remake of the Bollywood classic Sholay, made with local actors and a shoestring budget.
What starts as a fun project for Nasir quickly becomes a movement, turning his friends into filmmakers and his town into a movie-making dreamland. But the journey isn’t without its challenges. With every setback, Nasir learns that the magic of filmmaking isn’t just about the finished product—it’s about the people who help you along the way.
Why You’ll Love It
Superboys of Malegaon is a feel-good underdog story about chasing your dreams, no matter how big or small. The film is packed with humour, adventure, and heart, as Nasir and his crew show that with enough determination (and a little bit of creativity), you can make magic happen.
This movie isn’t just about filmmaking—it’s about community, friendship, and never giving up on your dreams.
