Following a group of small-town, DIY Indian filmmakers, Reema Kagti’s “Superboys of Malegaon” is a moving crowd-pleaser that constantly reaffirms its importance through its central theme. Although the film, which is based on real events, often tries to cover too much ground, it continually circles back to the idea that people must see themselves reflected in art, not just out of want, but out of deep desire stemming from need, in order to live with dignity.
Spanning events from 1997 through the early 2010s, the Bollywood biopic primarily follows photographer and wedding videographer Nasir Sheikh (Adarsh Gourav), a lovelorn man in the tiny city of Malegaon, whose few-hundred-mile distance from Mumbai, India’s financial and cinematic capital, may as well be measured in lightyears. Nasir runs a failing movie theater with his older brother Nihal (Gyanendra Tripathi), where he insists on showing Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin classics rather than the latest Bollywood fare,...

With so many solemn subjects coming out of the fall festivals, it’s nice to find a crowd-pleasing charmer offering the most straightforward of stories: a group of lovable misfits decides to put on a show.
As is required with any overly-familiar template, it’s the specifics that stand out. “Superboys of Malegaon,” which premiered on Friday at the Toronto International Film Festival, is based on the true adventures of amateur director Nasir Shaikh, the star of Faiza Ahmad Khan’s 2012 documentary “Supermen of Malegaon.” Khan’s doc captured some of the fairy-tale qualities of Shaikh’s story, and now director Reema Kagti expands them further with her uplifting fictionalized biopic.
The film begins in 1997, when Nasir (Adarsh Gourav) is an unfocused young man living in the small Indian city of Malegaon. He works in his family’s dilapidated video store, which he’s also turned into a makeshift movie theater.

In 2008, Faiza Ahmad Khan made a documentary, Supermen of Malegaon, that focused on the making of a parody-style movie by amateur director Nasir Shaikh, who found success with his friends in the poor small Indian city of Malegaon, where they used their hometown to copy popular movies, and by doing so gave new life and meaning to the place they were raised.
Now, director Reema Kagti and Shaikh have taken that inspirational true story, opened it up, and turned it into a new narrative theatrical film, Superboys of Malegaon, that shows how a group of friends cleverly turned a love for movies into a bit of a local sensation. The Amazon MGM Studios film had its world premiere Friday at the Toronto Film Festival before a European premiere next month at the BFI London Film Festival.

Tired of superhero franchises but up for watching a group of larger-than-life misfits with no superpowers but big Bollywood dreams? If so, Superboys of Malegaon may be just for you.
The heartfelt Hindi-language comedy from Amazon MGM Studios, in collaboration with India’s Excel Entertainment and Tiger Baby, is directed by Reema Kagti (Made in Heaven) and is based on the life of Nasir Shaikh, an amateur filmmaker from the town of Malegaon in Western India who made a name for himself.
His work with collaborators, creating their own versions of Indian hit movies but with minuscule budgets, was already the topic of Faiza Ahmad Khan’s 2008 documentary Supermen of Malegaon. Now they’re getting the fiction treatment.

Nutcrackers, David Gordon Green’s heartfelt comedy starring Ben Stiller, is set to open the 2024 Toronto Film Festival on Sept. 5.
The TIFF opener — marking Stiller’s first starring role in a movie since Mike White’s Brad’s Status and Noah Baumbach’s Netflix family drama The Meyerowitz Stories in 2017 — will have a world premiere at Roy Thomson Hall, which is filled with ordinary moviegoers (and not only industry people as in Cannes and Venice).
Written by Leland Douglas, Nutcrackers follows Mike (Stiller), a straight-laced workaholic who has to travel to rural Ohio to care for his four nephews after their parents die in a car accident. After weeks of farm-life mayhem, Mike realizes he won’t have to find a new home for the orphaned children. They found a new home for him.

Mumbai, Jan 5 (Ians) Most recently seen in the streaming film ‘Kho Gaye Hum Kahan’ with Ananya Panday and Siddhanth Chaturvedi, Adarsh Gourav has quite a crowded calendar in the year ahead and he talked about it on the sidelines of an event here.
Topping his upcoming projects is ‘Alien’, an American TV series inspired by Ridley Scott’s sci-fi horror franchise of the same name.
The series, which is expected to be released later this month on FX on Hulu, is being directed by Noah Hawley, creator of shows such as ‘Legion’ and ‘Fargo’.
Of course, Gourav is in the news for his re-appearance as Jugnu ‘Chhotu’ Ganchi in the much-anticipated black comedy ‘Guns & Gulaabs 2’.
