Moreover, a movie blogger writes, “As the story progressed, I found myself captivated by the intricate puzzle unfolding before me.”
The Maharaja movie follows a barber who seeks vengeance after robbers steal his home. When he reports the incident to the authorities, they inform him that his ‘Lakshmi’ has been taken. This leaves viewers confused and wanting more since the “Lakshmi” is not specified. Initially, no one knows if it’s a thing or person that the barber aims to recover.
The blogger continues, “The first half is a masterclass in suspenseful world-building.” Maharaja showcases complex issues and tells them compellingly. In addition, the film shows mankind’s “primal desire for justice.” An issue in the film prompts the lead to commit a crime, but his response leaves audiences satisfied.
Furthermore, the blogger writes, “Selvam, Anurag Kashyap’s character, is a complex and tragic figure. His love for his daughter is palpable, yet his actions are reprehensible. The revelation of his heinous crime against his own child is a gut-wrenching moment. The film’s portrayal of his downfall is both chilling and cathartic.”

Aside from its impeccable plot, viewers praise the movie’s cinematography for its precise and sharp editing. Additionally, its action scenes highlight the film’s emotional aspect.
Maharaja 2024 reviews include, “Maharaja could have been a very straightforward or ‘we know what’s in store’ film for the audience if it was plain sailing. But the manner in which the story has been told has unquestionably made all the difference. Throughout its runtime, there are multiple faulty and disoriented moments. But to give credit where it is due, the film manages to be engaging throughout.
Maharaja is one of those films that keeps you invested. The makers have been successful in generating anticipation as to what happens next.”
