A must watch movie. What an acting from Vijay Sethupathy. The story, screenplay and the overall making is just outstanding. All the characters were perfectly apt for their respective roles. Anuarag Kashyap also deserves a huge applause for his performance.
The story is well written and the screenplay was also solid. I don't share the same opinion about the climax because a similar theme have been used in movies all around the world and recently there was a movie from Mollywood which had a similar theme in the ending. I'm not saying the climax was boring, it was great, but it didn't have much impact for me. That doesn't mean it won't work for everyone. Do give it a go. Overall the move is pure class!

Isaignani Ilaiyaraja avargal, after this movie:
Naan sivanenu dhaane poiki'irundhen....
yaar vambu thumbkkaachu ponaena?
Gouravam gouravam nu yen gouravathiye narradichteengle da!
Daaai! Nee yendha JILLA'vla irundhalum seri.
On usuru yen kaila dhaan-di'yei! Yen kaila dhaan.
About the movie: Screenplay Masterclass. I have NOT seen anything written like this in Tamil cinema before.
Any details about the plot may potentially reveal spoilers so I'll refrain from doing so. Vijay Sethupathi and Anurag Kashyap were GREAT (minus the lip-sync) along with the secondary characters. Any actor could have played these roles, from the Nassers to the SJ Suryas; but the screen presence that these two have elevates the scenes and the brand of the movie that will make people buy the tickets; and rightfully so - because a film like this deserves to be seen by many.
But to put the actors ABOVE the script and the screenplay would be blasphemous. VJS will likely get over-credited for this movie and that's fine as long the writing gets the most props for this film. It would be an injustice otherwise.
Is everything a 100% perfect? No. But the brilliance that the writing has demonstrated overshadows that things that didn't work for me along with a couple of the casting choices didn't have any impact on the plot. Could have been anybody, and folks who were chosen didn't add to the screen presence either. However this is not the movie to nitpick on.
Go in blank, sit back and watch things unfold. You have not seen anything like this before. If you're a cinema lover, you're in for a special treat with the screenplay.

Nicely crafted movie with exceptional performances by Vijay Sethupathi and Anurag Kashyap. Engaging from the first scene itself. Mamta Mohandas has been underutilised. Abirami is impressive though for a short time. Casting was excellent.
I need to watch it again, as I still have one question that was unanswered. Watching in a theatre was great because of a very appropriate background score. It's cinematic brilliance at its best.
This is one movie where gore needed to be allowed to drive home a certain point (unlike animal). Strikes a very deep chord as you think hard, long after the movie is over.

Maharaja is one of the finest films of recent times! After a long time such good cinema is made in India. We can consider this one of the cult classics of Indian Cinema! The performances are good the direction is good and the script is just mind blowing! You are hooked to the film throughout! The non linear story telling also makes this a superb watch! Vijay Sethupathi as always has not failed to impress the audience. The most surprising performance is of Mr. Anurag Kashyap, he was very good in the role. There is a point in the film where you feel you have lost hope but then again some twist comes and you are back to normal. Full marks to the director Nithilan Swaminathan for making such good film!!
Absolute MASTERPIECE from K-wood in2024.
The screenplay of the film stands unique and was mind-blowing.
VJS at his best.
Performance of Anurag and Natty, SingamPuli was also notable.
Music and Background score was Good, Ajeesh done a very good job.
Nithilan Saminathan is gonna be the next big thing in kollywood🤞🏻 Nithilan's guts to blend humor in this serious subject is just amazing.
U dont even know whats gonna happen next. The Interval ends with a high, leaving many questions within u. The pre-climax and the climax will answer u.
Missing this film in theatres is the worst thing u can ever do this year.
So Go watch Maharaja NOW!
