Superman of Malegaon

Country: Singapore
Year of Production: 2006
Duration: 52’
Language: Hindi with English subtitles

The documentary is about the making of the movie “Malegaon ka Superman’. It’s a fascinating story of a motley crew of Malegaon for whom their filmmaking is a labor of love and not an enterprise in commercial interests.

Juxtaposing the frenzied production activities against a stark socio-economic backdrop of Malegaon, the documentary reveals the cathartic and spellbinding importance of the ‘magic of movies’ on the people. Ironically, all this is not a sustained effort to rise above their exploitative milieu but merely a temporary escape into the fantastical world of films.
