Maharaja Movie Plot
The plot of the movie seems quite simple if explained in words. It is about a barber named Maharaja, who lives a very simple life and is a good man in all aspects. He works hard to earn his livelihood and to take care of his daughter,, Jothi.
Jothi is very good at sports and looks up to her PT teacher, played by Mamta Mohandas. A sweet father-daughter relationship is shown when Jothi parents her father more than he does to her, and they have a pet dustbin, who they lovingly call ‘Laxmi’ and love dearly.
All was going well until Maharaja found himself in the police station reporting an FIR for a stolen Laxmi. At first, the police cooperate, but when they find out Laxmi is a dustbin, they do not pay any heed to Maharaja.
Now, the story of the movie revolves around questions like, Why did Laxmi get stolen? Why does it matter so much and how far will Maharaja go in order to punish the thieves of ‘Laxmi’

Maharaja Movie Review
Maharaja has received 8.6 out of 10 stars on IMDb. According to reviewers, this was the best movie Kollywood has released in 2024.
The screenplay was the best aspect of the movie. Kudos to Nithilan for adding humour to this serious thriller, as it blended really well. It has a non-linear storyline, so it might be difficult to grasp for some audiences.
Also, it is a bit slow-paced, so it needs some patience to enjoy it. One important aspect of this film is the bloody, dark and gritty scenes, which are not for the faint-hearted.
