Superboys of Malegaon 2024
A triumph of a story of genuine film lovers diminished by the sanitised treatment of the film in terms of look. Shashank Arora's Shafique is the heart of the film and provides the best moments in the film time and time again.

It is less about the outer pilgrimage and more about the internal pilgrimage the characters are taking through walking. That is its best part.

In terms of treatment, this film is a treat. The way the visual language of the film has been designed is nothing short of a masterstroke. Especially the scene where the protagonist is searching for the identity of the missing persons.
The writing is predominantly…
