About Maharaj

Starring Junaid Khan, Jaideep Ahlawat and Shalini Pandey, the film is directed by Siddharth P Malhotra. The film also stars Sharvari in a cameo appearance. Set in 1862, the Netflix film is based on the Maharaj Libel Case fought in the Supreme Court of Bombay. The case saw a prominent religious figure and Karsandas Mulji, a journalist and social reformer locking horns in court.

Giving the film 2.5 stars, a part of Bollywood Bubble’s review reads, “Maharaj is a bold movie that is very relevant in today’s time. The film talks about the subjects that can be wrong in society but it only broadens your mentality. You will lose interest in the first half of the movie but it grips you in the second half. The film ends on a high as the makers provide a gripping climax. Jaideep completely eats the movie and you should watch it for him.”
