In October this year during the 11th Osian’s Cinefan – the film festival organized in New Delhi every year in association with the state Government - Yeh Hai Malegaon Ka Superman was screened four times – a privilege shared only by few films. Besides the two screenings for the directors, producers and industry giants, the film was specially screened for 300 students from 10 schools.

 

While the film was acclaimed by the people like actor Rishi Kapoor, and Directors Anurag Kashyab and Zoya Akhtar, the school teachers found the film as a source of inspiration and motivation for their students.

 

"Using limited available resources, unfriendly locations and minimal budget, the way this film has been produced is a lesson for our students. Through this film we want to say to our students that if they want to do something then they should not wait. They should start using whatever resources are available with them."
