Superboys of Malegaon eventually is a despondent tale wrapped in a feel-good package.

Superboys of Malegaon Movie Review by Sucharita Tyagi - Superboys of Malegaon doesn’t paint a rosy picture of the reality it occupies. “Yeh dekho small town ke log kitne cute hote hain aww” waali trap ko bohot sakshamta se side-step karke film kisi false sense of comfort ya hope dene mein interested nahi hai. Malegaon jaise shehron mein upward mobility ke liye laakhon papad belne ke baad bhi success haath nahi lage, yeh possibility real hai. The tragic setting lends itself beautifully to the opportunity to explore the respite a make-believe world of story-telling can provide in a place like Malegaon. Ek aadmi ko cancer hua hai, par doctor bhi usko diagnosis samjhaane ke liye Rajesh Khanna ki film Anand ka sahaara leta hai, unironically.
The closing credits make it abundantly clear that perhaps until this moment when the film is being spoken about at TIFF, this story lay largely forgotten, most men and a few women associated with the pioneers of Malegaon’s film industry eventually didn’t amount to much. I would even say the writing struggles momentarily to find this balance - of giving hope and taking it away at the same time.
But because it leaves you with a feeling ki chalo kuch saal kisi ne mazey toh kiye, aapada mein koi avasar toh khoja, the eventual vibe is, to put it simply, wholesome.
