Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express 06/25/2024
2/5
The film is strictly passable: its very specific time and place and lead character is buried under trademark Yashrajification. Go to Full Review
Anna M.M. Vetticad The Economic Times (India) 10/05/2024
Coming as this film does from the Hindi industry that has by and large been genuflecting before the government and all right-wing forces in the past decade, it is impossible to look away from its courage. Go to Full Review

If made well, Maharaj would’ve been an arresting and impactful watch. Alas, there is hardly anything impactful about this movie and you’d find yourself laughing during intense or serious moments more often than not. Go to Full Review

On the whole, Maharaj deserves a watch for bringing out the sensitive part of Indian history and the heroic mindset of Karsandas Mulji. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
Maharaj serves as a stellar launchpad for Junaid Khan. It is a film that combines strong performances, a compelling story, and proficient direction. Go to Full Review
Nandini Ramnath Scroll.in 06/26/2024
Yadunath, played by Jaideep Ahlawat with the smug smile of the omnipotent guru, is monotonously creepy. Go to Full Review

Dhawal S Jan 13 What a boring movie, lacks a plot, super predictable and full of inconsistent BS, made to depict its a true story, however, I fact checked, its absolutely not. The song sequences are laughable, the feelings are so fake, poor acting too. The half hearted romance is so fake, like oh! I work with you for so long, so lets get married and the next moment, they do marry, so comical. See more Swarupa D Jan 12 Great movie! Brings too the forefront a real issue. I was screaming at the screen at times - which means the acting was great too! See more Dec 30 The movie was amazing from start to finish. I don't understand why the rotten tomato score is only 29%. The movie tackled a real issue and talked about an actual story and did it very well. This movie's rotten tomato score is astonishing and absolute bullshit. It deserves a 5/5 See more SAIRAJ M Dec 29 This whole movie is full of Hindu hatred and is technically bad too See more Pat C 10/26/2024 I thought the movie was amazing! (I can't be honest about the depiction the painstaking efforts women of the era undertook to present themselves devout due to the weaponized views of modern liberalism.) Nevertheless, the reformer (protagonist) in this film was a real social justice reformer! A hero, indeed! Yet, he recognized the importance of cultural norms and valued traditions... as his fight wasn't to burn it all down, but to address the corruption itself. I was moved by how much emphasis the film gives to family and especially to religious devotion. The dress and decor is breathtaking to a foreigner. I believe the people who give this landmark film such scathing reviews only want to turn Bollywood into Hollywood. Please never let this happen, or Bollywood will be doomed to become the exact pit of vile filth this movie was intended to expose as the adversary of truth and social wellness. It will spread into your society and become a highly corrupt instrument of the State and have the same adverse impact on the social life and valued culture of your country, just as Hollywood is in ours. This movie captivated me and is probably my very favorite to date. Truly beautiful. I look forward to many more like this. See more RAJESH U 10/13/2024 Best movie must watch See more Read all reviews
