Director Faiza Ahmad Khan
Countries
Duration 52 min
Synopsis
We follow a group of cinema enthusiasts who make their own films-quirky, low budget, socially aware and notoriously funny spoofs of Bollywood films. Their ambition has grown and now they are ready to take on Hollywood and Superman this journey. At times funny, tragic, contemplative. Always warm and engaging. And as Malegaon ka Superman begins to take shape, we also slowly discover Malegaon itself. A microcosm that embodies and reflects the complexities of modern India. Where the modern and the traditional rub shoulders, where extreme poverty and extreme wealth are neighbours, trapped in self-made destinies, with a spirit that can never be vanquished. The film is a tribute to that spirit, the spirit that enables The Supermen of Malegaon to make Malegaon's Superman.
