Released on February 28, 2025, Superboys of Malegaon, directed by Reema Kagti, has failed to capture audience attention despite an intriguing premise. The slice-of-life drama, based on the life of Nasir Shaikh, a filmmaker from Malegaon, stars Adarsh Gourav (of The White Tiger fame) in the lead role, alongside Shashank Arora and Vineet Kumar Singh. Despite its inspirational storyline, the film struggled to make a significant impact at the box office, earning under Rs 2 crore during
Box office predictions for Superboys of Malegaon indicate a sharp decline in its earnings on Day 4. Experts estimate that the film will bring in between Rs 30 lakh to Rs 40 lakh on its first Monday, signaling a poor trajectory ahead. This dip in earnings suggests that the film has not resonated with a wide audience, and it is unlikely to show significant recovery in the upcoming days.

Competing with Strong Releases
Superboys of Malegaon faces stiff competition from other releases, particularly Crazxy, which has performed better in terms of box office earnings. Additionally, Chhaava, a holdover release, continues to dominate the box office, making it harder for Superboys of Malegaon to gain momentum. Despite being co-produced by industry heavyweights like Farhan Akhtar, Ritesh Sidhwani, and Zoya Akhtar, the film’s theatrical release seems to be a marketing strategy to boost its upcoming OTT debut on Amazon Prime Video.
Future Outlook
While Superboys of Malegaon may not have succeeded in its cinematic run, it remains a safe financial bet for the producers. The film’s true success is expected to come from its streaming release, where it can reach a wider audience without the pressure of box office performance.
If you’re still curious about the film, Superboys of Malegaon is currently running in theaters, and tickets are available for purchase online or at the counter.
