Plot

Maharaja is a barber, and he has a daughter, Jothi. Jothi is an athlete, and her PT teacher encourages her to shine more in the field. Maharaja has no other aim in his life. When his daughter was a toddler, he lost his wife. His daughter is his world, and his routine is to go to the salon work, and take care of his daughter. They have a trashcan at their home and they have named it Lakshmi. Once the trashcan goes missing and Maharaja decides to file a complaint with the police station. The cops hesitate to take the complaint. Was Maharaja successful in filing the complaint? Did he get back his Lakshmi? What’s the story behind Lakshmi? The rest of the film speaks about it.

Star Performance

Vijay Sethupathi’s performance is authentic as usual, and the actor impresses all with his expressions, dialogue delivery and body language. Anurag Kashyap was given a strong role and he delivered a fantastic performance. Abhirami, Mamta Mohandas, and Natty have done justice to the given roles.

Analysis

Nithilan has perfectly shaped a film for Vijay Sethupathi’s half-century in the film industry. It perfect combines a thriller and drama without any unnecessary commercialization. Once again, Tamil cinema has proved that it can provide a good performance-oriented film without song, dance, or any romantic elements. The main characters are developed well. Anurag is the perfect choice for the role, and Abhirami is good as his pair. However, other characters should also have been given some more importance. The screenplay’s pace is pretty decent. Though there are a lot of loopholes, the film has engaging content to make the audience glued to their seats till the end. The visuals are decent. Editing should have been better in some places. BGM is good.

What’s There?  

  • The screenplay and execution are good
  • The lead stars did a great job with their performances

What’s Not There?

  • Some loopholes here and there

Verdict

Maharaja has a different plot. With its well-paced screenplay, narration, and the performances, the film make the audience to get a good cinematic experience. Maharaja – Watchable!
