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 is 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.

The film is an endearing, poignant and uplifting take on both filmmaking and friendship -- and the magic that happens when those two worlds collide. It’s a feelgood underdog adventure set in the Indian city of Malegaon and inspired by a real-life situation.

There is terrific fun, charm and storytelling energy in Superboys of Malegaon.
