This article reviews several films currently in theaters, including "Superboys of Malegaon," which tells an emotionally resonant story of friendship and ambition. Based on the documentary "Supermen of Malegaon," the film, directed by Reema Kagti and featuring a screenplay by Varun Grover, draws inspiration from classic cinema. It follows Nasir Shaikh, a passionate movie lover who struggles to balance his creative ambitions with his friendships. Although the film begins with comedic elements, it reveals deeper emotional dynamics that highlight relationships fractured by ambition and aspiration.
Screenwriter Varun Grover spins off that documentary and emulates 1988 cinephile classic Cinema Paradiso and even Stand By Me with the adults subbing for the boys.
His idea is to splice together VHS scenes from Bollywood movies with Buster Keaton and Chaplin flicks, a crime waiting to be discovered.
Superboys seems like it'll subsist on pure goofiness and pratfalls as movie fan and photographer Nasir Shaikh takes his passion and taps the neighborhood's love of movies.
A late development turns the tables on all the fractured relationships, adding emotional depth and resonance to the narrative.
