As per our in-house review, “Maharaja’ tackles a serious subject matter with a mix of humour and drama. The film is structured into two distinct halves – the first half is laden with comedy, setting a misleadingly light-hearted tone, while the second half dives into a more intense and emotional narrative.”
“’Maharaja’ is an ambitious attempt to blend serious societal issues with commercial cinema elements. While it succeeds in parts, particularly through strong performances and engaging music, it falls short in delivering a cohesive and compelling narrative. The film raises important questions but sometimes treats its critical subject matter as mere plot devices, which may leave viewers wanting more depth and sincerity. For casual moviegoers, Maharaja’ provides entertainment, but those seeking a profound exploration of its themes might find it lacking.”
