Vijay Sethupathi, who gained a place in Tamil cinema in a short period of time, today shines not only in Tamil cinema but also as a major star of Indian cinema. The main reason for that is his performance and in a short span of time he has finished acting in his fiftieth film and as the title of the film suggests, Vijay Sethupathi becoming the maharaja of Indian cinema.
Maharaja is the 50th film of actor Vijay Sethupathi. The film is directed by Nithilan, who directed the movie Kurangu Pomi. Abhirami, Mamata Mohandas, Anurag Kashyap, Natty, Bharathiraja and others have acted in it along with Vijay Sethupathi. Let’s see about the story of the film. Vijay Sethupathi works in Bharathiraja’s salon. He lost his wife and his only daughter is studying in school. Daughter is very interested in sports. The daughter goes to participate in a camp organized by the school. At that time, Vijay Sethupathi filed a complaint at the police station that Lakshmi had gone missing from his house. Knowing who he said as Lakshmi, the police scold Vijay Sethupathi. Vijay Sethupathi says he will pay 5 lakhs, the police led by Inspector Nutti starts the investigation. On the other hand, Anurag Kashyap, who runs an electrical shop, along with his friend Vinod Sagar, has been breaking into houses at night, committing murder, robbery and theft. What is the connection between this bandit and Vijay Sethupathi, who complained that the dustbin was missing? What happened in the end is the story of the film.
Director Nithilan Saminathan has already wowed us with Kurungu bommai. This film has also tried to give the same. The story is told in a linear fashion. The introduction of the characters in the film is a bit long. And not telling until the break where the story is headed. That in itself is a bit boring. But in the second half, the director has given a different experience to all the scenes shown in the first half. Vijay Sethupathi impresses with his performance as usual. He has given space to his co-actors who are also acting without me having to do everything. He is under attack in many places. It is doubtful if any other actor would act in such a film in his 50th. Anurag Kashyap’s character is good. He has acted well. But there is the issue of dubbing. The climax scene is proof of why he agreed to act in this story. Abhirami and Mamata Mohandas’s characters are not prominent but their performances are good. The daughter has also acted well. Also, Natty played a bad cop. His character is infuriating at the beginning, endearing as a dumpy piece bava in the middle and applauded at the end. Boys Manikandan has acted well. An unexpected result for him. Other than that, the minor characters like Singapuli, Munishkanth, Kalki, Durai have also performed well. Director Nithilan makes a mark by telling the ordinary revenge story from a different angle. There are many unspeakable scenes in the film. Watch the movie and find out for yourself. Bharathiraja acted for Sentiment. There is only one song in the film and it is going to be a montage. The biggest strength of the film is that there are no unnecessary scenes. The second half is brilliant in Nithilan’s screenplay. The climax scene is sure to be talked about. Camera work is superb.
