    Maharaja Review: Vijay Sethupathi’s Mind-Blowing Emotional Revenge Thriller

    Vijay Sethupathi’s Delivers A Knockout Performance In His 50th Appearance

    A bruised middle-aged father visits a police station and wants action against three criminals who stole his “Lakshmi” – a dustbin which has a special value in his life. As the movie progress, parallel tracks and juxtaposed scenes come together to reveal a shocking and heartbreaking climax.

    Vijay Sethupathi’s masterclass acting is the highlight of the movie. He is truly the Maharaja of acting and it shows! Anurag Kashyap fails to leave a mark.

    I loved the smart and intelligent use of metaphors – especially snake. While the climax is what has set everyone talking it was not unpredictable. Lots of scenes are rushed and engineered.

    The director uses “shock and awe” technique. The truck crash, the snake, the non-linear narrative, multiple characters – all are designed to amplify the mystery and engage the audience.

    Maharaja is essentially a father daughter story showcasing the law of karma at work. Packaged emotionally and symbolically designed to leave a strong impact! Worth a watch!

    The Modern Avatar Of Lord Vishnu Is To Be Born In The Post Apocalyptic World In Year 2898 AD – 6000 Years After Kurukshetra War. Th Evil Forces Are At Is Peak Through Totalitarian Supreme Yaskin & His Team’s Devil Designs & Actions. Kashi Is The Last Surviving City & Yaskin Is Driving A Secret Project K. Rebels Attempt To Save The World From Their Multi-Race Multi-Cultural Multi-Religious Place Shambala.

    Amitabh Bachchan Is The Powerhouse Who Carries The Movie With An Acting Masterclass – Living The Character In Totally Engaging Manner! Prabhas Continues To Underwhelm & Is Victim Of Poor Scripting. Kamal Hassan Is Introduced Strongly & Impactfully But He Has Limited Presence.

    Much Like History, Women In Kalki Have Very Marginal Role. Deepika Is A Guinea Pig Whose Sole Purpose To Give Birth. Disha Patani Does What She Does Best In Her Instagram Post – Exhibiting Her Curvy Toned Sculpture. Mrunal Thakur & Shobhana Have Small Roles While Dulquer Salman, Vijay Deverakonda Ram Gopal Varma & S S Rajamouli Star With Their Cameo Presence!

    Long After The Credits Roll, The Lasting Feelings Of Mind-blowing VFX, Mahabharata Meets Hollywood Scale & Grandeur Will Remain. The Screenplay & Editing Are Very Weak With So Musical Notes That Strike A Chord. Hats To Off Production Team, Cinematographer & Of Course Director Nag Ashwin.

    When A Midnight Show On Day 30 Is Housefull – The Movie Is Universally Accepted. By The Time You Read This, It Would Have Overtaken Jawan To Become The Biggest Movie!
