Maharaja Review:

Anybody would know why Vijay Sethupathi is an actor with such a speciality when you see his 50th film. His script selection is not a flamboyant star vehicle, but one that requires his comic timing and vulnerability to make it work. Nithilan Swaminathan takes quite a leap of faith in this (Maharaja, Tamil), and just turns out to be informative as it does thrilling. Its a rapid screen play and cast performance make sure that you glued to what is being unfolded on the screen. Deep graining it up to its very name –despite being born in a slum, Maharaja (Vijay Sethupathi) is now dour-faced barber family man with wife and daughter. His life now falls sideways and he is all the more stiff-necked. He who worships his daughter, Jyothi (Sachana Namidass).

I was wondering what would Nithilan Swaminathan as a director and writer deliver and was sceptical about going to theatres and spending on a two hour movie. I regret having missed to have watched it on the first day ..well better late than never. A totally different plot and screenplay, almost an edge of the seat thriller. One movie that I saw at 1 pm and didn’t stifle a yawn is definitely Maharaja. Vijay sethupathi, Anurag Kashyap and all the actors though have played the cast, Nithilan Swaminathan definitely walks away with the crown. Gonna watch his “Kurangu Bommai” which I brushed off as “nah”..
