Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express The film is strictly passable: its very specific time and place and lead character is buried under trademark Yashrajification. Rated: 2/5 Jun 25, 2024 Full Review Anna M.M. Vetticad The Economic Times (India) 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. Oct 5, 2024 Full Review Archi Sengupta LeisureByte.com 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. Rated: 2/5 Jul 4, 2024 Full Review Ganesh Aaglave Firstpost On the whole, Maharaj deserves a watch for bringing out the sensitive part of Indian history and the heroic mindset of Karsandas Mulji. Rated: 3/5 Jun 26, 2024 Full Review Devesh Sharma Filmfare Maharaj serves as a stellar launchpad for Junaid Khan. It is a film that combines strong performances, a compelling story, and proficient direction. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 26, 2024 Full Review Nandini Ramnath Scroll.in Yadunath, played by Jaideep Ahlawat with the smug smile of the omnipotent guru, is monotonously creepy.

Dhawal S 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/25 Full Review Swarupa D Great movie! Brings too the forefront a real issue. I was screaming at the screen at times - which means the acting was great too! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/25 Full Review Audience Member 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 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/30/24 Full Review SAIRAJ M This whole movie is full of Hindu hatred and is technically bad too Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/29/24 Full Review Pat C 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.
