Malegaon, a small town tucked away near the heart of India geographically, is fraught with communal tension and under economic depression. To escape the harsh reality of their world, its people seek refuge in the fantastical world of cinema.
This passion for cinema has spurred a group of cinema enthusiasts to make their own films-quirky, low budget, socially aware and notoriously funny spoofs of Bollywood films. Their ambition has grown and now they are ready to take on Hollywood and Superman.
The film follows them on this journey. At times funny, tragic, contemplative. Always warm and engaging. And as the film begins to take shape, through schemes and approaches that are sublimely ingenious, simply bizarre and purely hysterical, we also slowly discover Malegaon itself. The film is a tribute to a spirit that can never be vanquished, the spirit that enables the Supermen of Malegaon to make Malegaon’s Superman.
It’s a goat! It’s a rickshaw! It’s Supermen of Malegaon!

‘The Bollywood Project‘ is a feature length documentary film exposing the reality of the
artists and workers rarely acknowledged in the worlds’ largest film industry. Set in
Mumbai, the city of dreams and home to Bollywood, the film fluidly intertwines the journeys of four behind the scenes artists – Harry, a foreign actor; Pooja, a dancer; Ojas, a makeup artist and Premji, a Union boss.
Get the real feel of what it’s like trying to survive in the concrete jungle of Mumbai.
