Wacky heroes of cinema

Supermen of Malegaon (2012)

Directed by Faiza Ahmad Khan this this is some where between a making of documentary and an exploration of a sub-culture. Impoverished Muslims in an industrial Indian city make near zero budget parodies of Bollywood and Hollywood films they love.

This is a fun look at the love of cinema and the way it inspires people to create themselves. Despite having few resources pretty impressive results are achieved by those working on the fan film which is a real inspiration. The film manages to capture something universal even though it is looking at a very unique situation.


4/5
