The first thing to say about Superboys of Malegaon is that it's a beautifully crafted film. It is emotionally charged yet incredibly uplifting, teaching you something new with every scene. The movie keeps you inspired and never feels like a drag. It offers a rich mix of emotions from light-hearted fun to moments of heartbreak, from the joy of creativity to the pain of dealing with health issues. There's so much packed into the story that you stay fully engaged from start to finish.
@kagtireema Superboys of Malegaon is wonderfully made. Loved the aeroplane reference, first mentioned by Shafique during the shoot, then reintroduced by the waterfall after the bad news. A beautifully composed low shot, perfectly placed. pic.twitter.com/PPDpQUAaWa
The direction, too, is particularly nuanced. One standout example is the aeroplane reference, first mentioned by Shafique during a shoot, and later poignantly reintroduced near the waterfall after we get to know that his tumor has come back. It's a beautifully composed low-angle shot, placed with perfect timing, and it captures the film's layered storytelling so well.

Meet Bollywood's dreaded villain who was linked with Parveen Babi, beats Vijay Mallya in…, rejected Sholay because of…, his name is…
In rich tapestry of Bollywood's storytelling, certain veteran actor carved his niche not as a hero, but as face audiences loved to fear. With a voice that could freeze a scene and eyes that conveyed menace with ease, he brought villains to life like no other. His portrayals weren't just acts, they were layered performances that left lasting impressions. Apart from a cinematic voyage, this actor also ventured into the world of brewing and surpassed Vijay Mallya. Bollywood's Dreadest Villain… Here we are talking about actor Danny Denzongpa , who is best known for playing iconic negative shades in Bollywood. When we think of Danny Denzongpa, we are immediately reminded of a larger-than-life figure with a deep voice. Characters like Katiya, Kancha Cheena, Shankar Singhania, Bhaktawar and Khuda Baksh have become legendary due to Danny's distinctive persona and remarkable acting skills. Meanwhile, the actor also got an opportunity to feature in cult-classic Sholay in the role of Gabbar Singh , but due to a clash with shoot schedule of his film Dharmatma , he declined the big opportunity. In addition to his acting career, Danny Denzongpa is a prosperous businessman and capable entrepreneur, owning India's third-largest beer brand, Yuksom Breweries. He launched Yuksom Breweries in 1987 in South Sikkim. In 2005, he founded Denzong Breweries in Odisha and four years later, he acquired Rhino Agencies in Assam. They produce brands like Dansberg and He-Man 9000 . Yuksom Breweries is reported to contribute ₹100 crore annually to the economy of the northeastern region and provides jobs for 250 individuals there. Danny & The King Of Good Times Business tycoon Vijay Mallya had plans to venture into the North-East. To achieve this, United Breweries sought to acquire Rhino, a newly established brewery in Assam that had only been operational for two months. To safeguard its market presence in the area, Danny's company, Yuksom, stopped these intentions by purchasing Rhino instead. This move allowed Danny to not only strengthen his foothold in the market but also to obstruct Vijay Mallya's advances to acquire space in the North-East. Danny and His Relationship With Parveen Babi During the 1970s, Danny and Parveen Babi shared a short romantic relationship. Their time together was characterized by a deep respect and understanding for one another. Later, the two broke up, but continued to maintain a friendly relationship. Danny frequently expresses warm and respectful thoughts about Parveen, particularly regarding her later challenges with mental health. In terms of work front, Danny Denzongpa was last featured in Sooraj Barjatya's adventure-drama Uunchai alongside Amitabh Bachchan, Anupam Kher, Boman Irani, Parineeti Chopra, Neena Gupta, Sarika and Sheen Das.

Amitabh Bachchan's co-star reveals Big B once shouted at a crew member, and she is grateful for it decades later
Agencies Big B once scolded a crew member for being rude to Malayalam actress Shobana. Malayalam actress Shobana recently showered praise on veteran Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan. In a recent interaction with fans on Instagram, the 'Manichitrathazu' actress recalled how she was once treated shabbily on the sets of a song she and Bachchan collaborated on for a movie. She revealed the 'Sholay' star was livid at the blatant disrespect and rushed to her defense. The event took place in Ahmedabad. Though she refrained from naming the specific movie or the song, she vividly described the situation. Wrapped in several layers of elaborate costumes for a song sequence, she was in dire need of a private space to change. In contrast to her needs, Bachchan had his own well-equipped caravan, and the surrounding area had become chaotic with fans crowding to catch a glimpse of the Shobana inquired about her own changing area, an offhand comment was made by someone on set, dismissively stating that since she hailed from Kerala, she would be accommodating enough to change her clothes behind a tree. The remark was not only inappropriate but also belittling. However, what followed next completely shifted the atmosphere on Bachchan, who happened to overhear the comment through his walkie-talkie, immediately responded. Without hesitation, he emerged from his caravan and firmly demanded to know who had made such an insensitive statement. To further uphold her dignity, he offered his own caravan to Shobana and respectfully vacated it himself. That gesture, simple yet powerful, etched itself permanently into her memory. Shobana reflected on how Bachchan's humility has remained unchanged over the years. Even during their recent work together in the science-fiction epic Kalki 2898 AD, she observed how, despite the burden of heavy prosthetic makeup and long hours, he maintained deep-rooted cultural values. Every time someone entered the room, he would rise to greet them, regardless of his physical discomfort. When Shobana gently told him it wasn't necessary, he calmly responded that the gesture was part of his upbringing and something he couldn't abandon. Their on-screen reunion in Kalki 2898 AD became a milestone event. In the film, Shobana portrayed Mariam, the leader of a secretive tribe waiting for the return of Lord Vishnu in the form of Kalki. Bachchan took on the role of Ashwatthama, a mythical warrior tasked with protecting the chosen one, portrayed by Deepika Padukone. The movie, also featuring Prabhas, Kamal Haasan, and Disha Patani, shattered box office records with global earnings surpassing Rs 1,000 crore. Its overwhelming success has prompted the makers to begin work on a much-anticipated Shobana was most recently seen in the blockbuster Thudarum, starring opposite Mohanlal. The film also enjoyed massive commercial success, raking in more than Rs 236 crore globally, cementing her continued relevance and stature in Indian cinema.
