Maharathi

Director Shivam Nair has shot the film well, but how one wishes he would've opted for a far more convincing screenplay. The problem with Maharathi is its inconsistent script. But the film lacks the power of an arresting script. Tara Sharma is fair. ... Full Review

Maharathi doesn't make the best of its opportunity. Maharathi is embellished with competent performances that attempt to camouflage the intermittent imperfections. Boman Irani is brilliant in the climax scene. Neha Dhupia manages her part well. ... Full Review

The surprise of "Maharathi," undoubtedly, is Neha Dhupia. The restrained performances of the actors save it from going over the top. Naseeruddin Shah's performance, expectedly, is impeccable. ... Full Review

What makes the movie worth watching is....It rises above the run-of-the-mill thriller primarily because of clever narration of the story designed to keep the audience guessing till the final denouement.....Naseeruddin Shah's performance, expectedly, is impeccable.....Paresh Rawal and Boman Irani, of course, are a pleasure to watch, as usual.....it has many plausible twists.... ...

Since much of the drama in the movie takes place indoors, the effect of it is not the same on screen as it has been when played out on stage, so that the movie ends up giving a stuffy feeling. What makes the movie worth watching is that it has many plausible twists and turns, keeping the audience guessing where the plot will lead. ... Full Review

Maharathi is a dead drama....Sadly, despite assembling an ensemble of powerhouse actors, the film scores with only one memorable performance -....infuse some life into this dead drama.....at the heart of Maharathi is a delicious turn by Paresh Rawal who turns even ordinary scenes with flat dialogue into some pretty potent stuff.....Crushingly slow and painfully predictable, Maharathi is your typical stage-to-screen adaptation gone very wrong..... ...

Flimsy in substance, Maharathi is in-circled with nettlesome attributes of ambiguities on every plot. Of course, there's whole lot of commendable vistas in Maharathi but these discrepant elements eclipse over them. ... Full Review

Neha Dhupia is peculiarly grating....Paresh Rawal is good, except that he is just too....his direction gets monotonous....Om Puri- well, he comes and goes without impact and with haste....unexciting, and the overly placid, passionless pace makes every plot turn predictable.... ... Full Review
