Maharaja2024

One of the best examples of taking a normal revenge plot and execute it in a way that blew me away with a stunning non-linear writing throughout. So many different timeline jumps and it’s an absolute joy to tie the story/timelines together and everything is left for audience to tie them up. It’s cleverly done. Timelines even overlap. Nothing is actually explained or spoon-fed. Without this kinda clever writing, direction and editing, this film wouldn’t have achieved the same impact as the story isn’t something new. There were few unnecessary comedic parts that didn’t fit in this complex narrative. I can easily forgive that part as 99% of the film is actually brilliant to witness, the way story slowly unravels itself with zero exposition.  Vijay being great isn’t new, he’s expectedly amazing but it’s Anurag Kashyap’s performance that made me go awe. I knew he had an acting chops when i watched him in other films but this is his best performance of his career undoubtedly so far.  Overall madly satisfying cinema and the climax is something that will stay with me. So good and it of course reminded me of 2 films that I can’t mention without spoiling it for anybody but really a bloody good satisfying watch.
