MUMBAI: The recently released film Superboys of Malegaon has been receiving outstanding reviews from critics, with ratings ranging between 4 and 4.5 stars. However, despite the critical acclaim, the film has struggled to make a mark at the box office.
At a recent event, renowned lyricist and screenwriter Javed Akhtar has praised the film, calling it one of the best he has seen in a long time. “Superboys of Malegaon is a great film—I have not seen such a great film in a long time. Despite earning great reviews from critics, with ratings ranging from 4 to 4.5 stars, it struggled to perform at the box office. What could be the reason?” he quipped, highlighting how good films aren't encouraged at the box office.
Directed by Reema Kagti, Superboys of Malegaon sheds light on the passion and perseverance of small-town filmmakers who dream of making it big despite limited resources. The film captures the spirit of Malegaon, a town known for its low-budget yet highly creative film industry.
A collaboration between Amazon MGM Studios, Excel Entertainment, and Tiger Baby, Superboys of Malegaon is produced by Ritesh Sidhwani, Farhan Akhtar, Zoya Akhtar, and Reema Kagti. Written by Varun Grover, the film boasts a stellar ensemble cast, including Adarsh Gourav, Vineet Kumar Singh, and Shashank Arora in lead roles. The film released in theaters on February 28 across India, the US, UK, UAE, Australia, and New Zealand.
