Unfortunately, this didn't get the recognition it deserved during its theatre release, but I wish, hope and pray that the OTT audience gives this movie the love and recognition it deserves. Each and everything about this movie is so on point except one thing—that as all are TALENTED OUTSIDERS and not a single UNTALENTED NEPOTISM ACTORS, that's why the movie didn't get the publicity, PR and talks amongst the audience!' From laughter to tears (and a little well-placed anger), Superboys of Malegaon has clearly struck a chord. Have you watched it yet?
