  • "There’s not a single dull moment in Supermen of Malegaon" wrote Blessy Chettiar on DNAIndia.
  • "The most touching line comes from the writer who says that noone fathoms the pain of the writer. The writer imagines and conceives the movie investing so much of his being. But only 20% of what he conceives makes it to the film and he has to suffer eternally the pain of not being able to share the rest."
