Maharaja (transl. The Great King)[b] is a 2024 Indian Tamil-language action thriller film[6] directed by Nithilan Saminathan. Produced by The Route, Think Studios and Passion Studios, the film stars Vijay Sethupathi, alongside Anurag Kashyap, Mamta Mohandas, Natty Subramaniam, Abhirami, Divyabharathi, Singampuli, Aruldoss, Munishkanth, Sachana Namidass, Manikandan and Bharathiraja. The story follows a barber in Chennai who goes to the police station to retrieve his stolen dustbin, only for the police to find his intentions to be something else.

The film was officially announced in February 2023 under the tentative title VJS50, as it is Sethupathi's 50th film as the lead actor. Principal photography commenced the same month, predominantly taking place in Chennai throughout a single schedule. The official title was announced in July, coinciding with the filming wrapping and Think Studios joining as co-producers. The music was composed by B. Ajaneesh Loknath, with cinematography by Dinesh Purushothaman and editing by Philomin Raj.

Maharaja had its world premiere on 12 June 2024 in India, and had a proper theatrical release two days later. The film received critical acclaim, who praised Sethupathi's performance, Philomin's editing and Swaminathan's script and direction. It set several records, including the highest-grossing South Indian film in China, and emerged the fourth highest-grossing Tamil film of 2024.[7][8][9]

Plot

Maharaja is a quiet man who works as a barber in Ramki Saloon in Chennai. One day, while buying toys from a shop across the street, a truck slams into a house he and his family were visiting, leading to his wife's death. His daughter, Jothi, survives when a dustbin accidentally falls and covers her. Maharaja and Jothi name the dustbin "Lakshmi" out of affection.

One day, Maharaja visits the local police station to report that Lakshmi has been robbed, much to the cops' amusement. He recounts the incident: three men raided his house, attacked him, and took Lakshmi. The police do not want to invest effort in finding an empty dustbin but accept due to his stubborness and a promised bribe of ₹5 lakhs to Inspector Varadharajan for the culprits. During the investigation, another case, the disappearance of a delinquent named Dhana after a bar fight, is opened at the station. Previously, Maharaja found a receipt left behind by the perpetrators, which led him to Dhana. After tailing him, Maharaja fought off his lackeys and made Dhana reveal that one of the other perpetrators was associated with the police station before beheading him. In the present, Maharaja escapes being found out and continues the investigation, clandestinely looking for suspects at the station.

During the investigation, various events from the past are shown. Selvam and Sabari are two criminals who raided houses, raped women, and killed them. Selvam lived happily with his wife, Kokila, and baby daughter, Ammu, who don't know about his crimes. One day, Sabari informed Selvam that their crimes were in the newspaper. Selvam happened to be in Ramki Saloon for a beard trim during the phone conversation and suspects that Maharaja overheard. He left but forgot Ammu's birthday gift, a gold chain, at the store; Maharaja visited Selvam's house to return it, but the police simultaneously arrived, shot down Sabari, and arrested Selvam, who believed Maharaja exposed him. Kokila was shocked after knowing the truth and disowned Selvam.

In the present, the police decide to simply pass another dustbin as Lakshmi. Nallasivam, an informal police informant, agrees to act as the perpetrator to "solve" the case. Over the phone, the police ask Maharaja to narrate the incident so that Nallasivam can act accordingly.

Maharaja recounts the incident, but it is shown the events actually happened to Jothi. She had returned home from a sports camp organised by her P.T. teacher, Aasifa, while Maharaja was away. However, Selvam, Dhana, and Nallasivam had broken in to kill him as revenge for Selvam's imprisonment and disowning. They had expected Maharaja to be home at that time, but he is late, and they instead blindfolded and brutally assaulted Jothi, with Nallasivam and Dhana raping her multiple times. Jothi was hospitalised and asked her father for the opportunity to confront the perpetrators. Enraged at his failure to protect her, he trashed the house and knocked himself unconscious, only being awakened by a snake. Thus, after killing Dhana, Maharaja invented the dustbin story to avoid detection at the police station.

Varadharajan and his team take Nallasivam, now flustered, to Maharaja's home to return the dustbin. Varadharajan reveals that his team had discovered Nallasivam's and Selvam's involvement in Jothi's rape while investigating Dhana's death; disgusted, they created the ruse to get him to Maharaja so he can kill him. After doing so, Maharaja arrives at a construction site where he is shocked to see Selvam, but incapacitates him and brings Jothi to him per her wish. Jothi tosses a bag of jewellery at his face and leaves with Maharaja and Aasifa. Inside, Selvam finds the gold chain that he had bought for Ammu's birthday.

It turned out that Maharaja, his wife, and their daughter had come to Kokila's new house after Selvam's arrest to return the chain; Kokila rejected it, associating it with her husband's crimes. Maharaja was instead buying a toy for Ammu when the truck rammed into Kokila's home, killing everyone but Ammu, who was saved by Kokila's dustbin (Lakshmi). Maharaja adopted Ammu, changed her name to Jothi, and raised her as his daughter. In the present, Selvam sees a scar on Jothi's shoulder, the same one as Ammu, and realises he unwittingly perpetuated his daughter's rape and assault. Out of guilt, Selvam commits suicide by falling off the building, with the film concluding on Selvam’s blood seeping into Jothi’s footprint.

Cast

Production

After the success of Kurangu Bommai (2017), Nithilan Saminathan was signed by Sudhan Sundaram's Passion Studios to direct his next directorial under their production.[10] However, the project was in development hell for several years for unknown reasons. Nithilan then narrated the script to G. Dhananjayan, who suggested to the director that he should narrate it to Vijay Antony, which he did and impressed the actor.[11] Nithilan, however, had to receive a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from Sundaram's production house. The company was not in favour of passing the project to another house, therefore not giving the NOC. Soon after, the company then stated that they would narrate the script to Vijay Sethupathi, and if he declines being part of the film, they would pass the project.[12]

Sethupathi, who was impressed by the script, agreed to be part of the film, leading to him replacing Antony. Sundaram's company made a public announcement on 1 February 2023, confirming the project. The project would signify Sethupathi's 50th film as a lead actor.[13] Tentatively titled VJS50, principal photography began shortly after a muhurat puja held the same day at a film studio in Chennai with the presence of the film's cast and crew.[14] On 12 July, in addition to the principal photography wrapping, the film's official title, Maharaja, was announced by the production houses.[15]

Anurag Kashyap, Mamta Mohandas and Natty Subramaniam were announced to play the lead roles alongside Sethupathi, while Divyabharathi, Abhirami, Aruldoss, Munishkanth, Manikandan, Singampuli, Bharathiraja, Vinod Sagar and P. L. Thenappan would appear in the supporting roles.[16] Dubbing works were completed by 31 December 2023.[17]

Reception

Critical response

Maharaja received critical acclaim from critics, who praised Sethupathi's performance, Philomin's editing, and Swaminathan's screenplay and direction.[33][34] On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 83% of 6 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 7.7/10.[35]

Arjun Menon of Rediff.com gave 4/5 stars and wrote "Maharaja is a surprisingly novel outing, rejuvenating the tired tropes of revenge films with a morally challenging revelation in the final hour, that compensates for the little contrivances in the writing."[36] Manikandan KR of Times Now gave 3.5/5 stars and wrote "Maharaja is a fairly good revenge/investigative drama that primarily works because of fine performances from its entire cast and some exceptional work by its stuntmen and stunt choreographer."[37] Goutham S of Pinkvilla gave 3.5/5 stars and wrote "Vijay Sethupathi stands out in the action-packed revenge flick with a well-written screenplay by Nithilan Swaminathan".[38]

Rakesh Tara of ABP News gave 3.5/5 stars and wrote "Maharaja is an ambitious attempt to blend serious societal issues with commercial cinema elements. While it succeeds in parts, particularly through strong performances and engaging music, it falls short in delivering a cohesive and compelling narrative."[39] Roopa Radhakrishnan of The Times of India gave 3/5 stars and wrote "Vijay Sethupathi is wonderful in his 50th film, and he has a well-written role at his disposal."[40] Anusha Sundar of OTTPlay gave 3/5 stars and wrote "Maharaja is a film that feeds you information in every frame and second, so losing a grip on it might leave you unable to understand when the knots are tied."[41] Bhuvanesh Chandar of The Hindu wrote "Maharaja is yet another sign of the serious filmmaker Nithilan is, and shows us how a good writer can convert even a dated idea into a gripping big-screen experience."[42]

Latha Srinivasan of Hindustan Times wrote "Director Nithilan Swaminathan and Vijay Sethupathi have delivered a film that’s definitely worthy of your time."[43] Swathi P Ajith of Onmanorama wrote "Maharaja is undoubtedly a thrilling revenge drama that deserves to be watched in theatres."[44] G.A. Gowtham of Uyirmmai wrote that Maharaja wears the crown of box office by its gripping screenplay.[45] Ananda Vikatan gave 48/100 and wrote this film gives punishment hiddenly to those who have similar thoughts on children.[46]

Janani. K of India Today gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "Maharaja has a lot going on. Sadly, the hits and misses are not proportional, with the latter having the upper hand. These good moments get buried under dark humour, which hardly works, and many other shortcomings."[47] B. V. S. Prakash of Deccan Chronicle gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "Director Nithilan deserves a pat since he makes the girl victim stronger and determined who wants to meet scrupulous characters and question them for their heinous act face-to-face and throws up another twist in the end."[48] Kirubhakar Purushothaman of The Indian Express gave 2/5 stars and wrote "The overarching problem with Maharaja is its ‘wannabe’ nature to come across as a gritty, dark, and emotional rollercoaster. It is more concerned about how it wants to come across than what it really is."[49]
