Plot[edit]

Maharaja is a barber by profession living in K. K. Nagar. He lost his wife in an accident where a truck slew into a house where she was sitting in with her daughter. His daughter, Jyothi survives the accident as a metal dustbin covers and protects her from the falling debris. Maharaja and Jyothi later name the dustbin as "Lakshmi" out of affection and they anthropomorphise it. Maharaja later moves to a new place with Jyothi, now a teenager, and Lakshmi. Jyothi is very active in sports at school; she leaves the city for a sports camp, accompanied by her sports teacher, Aasifa.

Meanwhile, Maharaja visits the local police station to report a robbery, citing that their dustbin Lakshmi has been robbed, much to the amusement of the station. He recounts the whole incident to them, saying that an armed gang raided his house, attacked him and took Lakshmi.The police initially snub the case, as they believe they cannot invest their efforts and time in finding a trivial object like an empty dustbin. Despite their constant snubbing and even violent threats, Maharaja stands his ground. They eventually accept the case once he promises a bribe of ₹5 lakhs upon finding the culprits. The policemen rope in Nallasivam, a convict turned informant, to find Lakshmi.

Past (2009): Selvam and Sabari are a dacoit gang, that raids houses, rapes and kill women after taking the loot. Sabari phones Selvam to inform that a daily has published an editorial on their crimes without revealing their identity. Selvam happens to be in Ramki saloon for a beard trim and Maharaja overhears the coversation. Selvam forgets a gold chain at the saloon, that he wanted to gift his toddler daughter Ammu. As Maharaja visits Selvam's house to return it, policemen simultaneously arrive to arrest Selvam and Sabari. The police gun down Sabari and arrests Selvam, in a humiliating fashion. Kokila, Selvam's wife, who was unaware of his criminal activities, out of disgust and anger, asks Selvam to stay away from the their lives. Selvam stares at Maharaja believing that Maharaja ratted out him.

Present (2023): A delinquent named Dhana, works in a local car garage. A local politician beats and threatens him on an allegation that he stole his sunglasses from his car. Dhana seeks revenge as he beats him at a local bar, where Maharaja is also present. As the police continue to investigate the dustbin case, Nallasivam, helps get a dustbin cast and dented to make it look identical to "Lakshmi". To find wilful scapegoats, cops start calling thieves who take up such assignments, but they scoff at the idea of being accused for petty theft of a dustbin. Eventually, Nallasivam agrees to turn in as the criminal, saying that he has a penchant for acting. They ask Maharaja over speaker phone to narrate the entire incident once again so that Nallasivam could act accordingly.

Maharaja recounts the event in the same manner but the flashback reveals the actual event, where Jyothi had returned home, in the absence of Maharaja. Three men, revealed to be Selvam, Dhana, and Nallasivam, are present in the house to kill Maharaja, but the latter isn't present. They physically assaulted Jyothi, leaving her battered and unconscious, while Nallasivam then rapes her twice. Upon reaching home, Maharaja, finds her in a violated state and hauls up her to the hospital. Jyothi requests her dad that she wants to confront the man responsible for this. After admitting Jyothi in the hospital, Maharaja returns home and, out of frustration and anguish he beats himself unconscious. When he wakes up, he sees a toll plaza receipt with the local politician's car number which eventually leads him to Dhana. Maharaja follows him and a fight ensues between them, with Maharaja having the upper hand and asks who were his accomplices on the day of robbery. Dhana tells him that one of them is inside the police station itself, and stabs Maharaja in his thigh. Before Dhana could escape Maharaja beheads him.

Inspector Varadarajan and his fellow policemen convince Nallasivam, now looking rather flustered, to spend the night at their place so that they can comfortably travel to Maharaja's place the next day to return the dustbin. Nallasivam enacts and confesses his 'crime' of stealing the dustbin, while Maharaja too realizes that Nallasivam is one of the actual perpetrator and not just a police framed scapegoat for money. Varadharajan compels Maharaja to give him an appropriate punishment, thereby revealing that they had also found out Nallasivam's involvement in crime. While investigating Dhana's death, they found his phone, with Nallasivam calling him. Further inquiring with Maharaja's phone number, and with the doctor's information about Jyothi, they had carried out the ruse of bringing Nallasivam to Maharaja. The police handover Nallasivam to Maharaja, giving him freedom to punish Nallasivam, with Varadharajan and team bearing the responsibility. Maharaja kills Nallasivam, but not before finding out who the third accomplice is. Maharaja arrives at the construction site where Selvam works and the two men physically fight. Eventually, Maharaja incapacitates Selvam, and Aasifa brings Jyothi to Selvam. Jyothi proceeds to insult Selvam, and then tosses a bag full of jewellery at his face, assuming that he had come there for that. Selvam finds a gold chain much akin to what he had bought for Ammu on her birthday – the very set that Maharaja had come to return.

It is now revealed that after Selvam's arrest, Maharaja, his wife, and daughter had come to Kokila's new house to return the jewelry set. When Maharaja had gone to buy Ammu a gift, a truck rammed into Selvam's house, killing everyone but Ammu, who is saved by Lakshmi. Maharaja adopts Ammu and raises her as his own daughter, Jyothi. As Selvam sees a scar on Jyothi's shoulder, similar to that on toddler Ammu's shoulder, he realizes that he had unwittingly have been complicit in rape and assault of his own daughter. Selvam, out of guilt falls off the building and dies as Ammu walks out with Maharaja and Aasifa.

Reception[edit]

Critical response[edit]

Maharaja received positive reviews from critics, who praised Sethupathi's performance, Swaminathan's direction and Philomin's editing.[35][36]

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."[37] 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."[38] 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".[39] 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."[40]

Roopa Radhakrishnan of The Times of India gave 3/5 stars and wrote "Vijay Sethupathi is wonderful in his 50th film, and he has well-written role at his disposal."[41] 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."[42] 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."[43] Latha Srinivasan of Hindustan Times wrote "Director Nithilan Swaminathan and Vijay Sethupathi have delivered a film that’s definitely worthy of your time."[44] Swathi P Ajith of Onmanorama wrote "Maharaja is undoubtedly a thrilling revenge drama that deserves to be watched in theatres."[45]

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."[46] 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."[47] 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."[48]

Box office[edit]

Maharaja grossed ₹4.7 crore (US$560,000) on its opening day.[49] The film earned ₹7.75 crore (US$930,000) on the second day and ₹9 crore (US$1.1 million) the third day.[49][50] The film surpassed Garudan to become the third biggest opening for a Tamil film in 2024, behind Captain Miller and Aranmanai 4.[51] It grossed an estimated ₹32.6 crore (US$3.9 million) on its opening weekend of three days, becoming the highest opening weekend for a Tamil film in 2024.[52] On its fourth day, the film crossed ₹27.50 crore (US$3.3 million) from India, bringing its worldwide gross to ₹40 crore (US$4.8 million).[53][54] The film's worldwide collection crossed ₹46 crore (US$5.5 million) globally in five days earning ₹30 crore (US$3.6 million) from Tamil Nadu.[55] It grossed ₹55.8 crore (US$6.7 million) in the six days of its release.
