Superboys of Malegaon is a film based on the life of Nasir Shaikh, an amateur filmmaker from the town of Malegaon.

The residents of the town look to Bollywood cinema for a much-needed escape from daily drudgery.

Nasir gets inspired to make a film for the people of Malegaon, by the people of Malegaon. He bands together his ragtag group of friends to bring his vision to life, thereby bringing a fresh lease of life into the town.

The film is a poignant yet uplifting take on both filmmaking and friendship - and what happens when those two worlds collide.
