Honestly..i dunt know what i should right abt this movie...i liked it..but the story somehow becomes confusing in the last 20-30 minutes...the scene between paresh and boman, seemed quite weird...but acting was superb...paresh was great as he is..naseerudin shah was superb although he was there only for a while...neha dhupia was quite good..boman was as usual..tara sharma was the only one irritating in the film..she doesnt suit the role.. dependable..so personally , i liked this movie but on the story basis, it could have been much better...  

was a lil betta den i thought actually...gr8 work by all actors not a bad movie for a free weekend.

Maharathi is not so an impressive movie. Because when you have great cast, you expect something terrific, but it wasn't. On the whole, i am disappointed.

Based on a successful play by Paresh Rawal, "Maharathi" is said to be a thriller but I found it lacking the requisites of a tight thriller or a good murder mystery. The very start of the mystery sequence or murder scene pops up some questions which are enough to make you lose interest in the plot. The main blunder why I am calling it "An Unqualified Thriller" is made by the writer who penned it and the director who never questioned it. If the writer and director of a murder mystery think that putting a Dead Body in a deep freezer for many days will keep the time and day of the murder A Secret, then it simply means that they still have to get their facts right. It's the most childish forensic liberty taken ever in a crime movie. To make it simple, it's based on a plot where Naseer shoots himself in front of Paresh Rawal and Neha Dhupia and leaves them a challenge to prove his suicide as a murder if they can. Now in the next scene you see that Paresh & Neha both decide to put the dead Naseer in a deep freezer and plan to take him out after some days. And this is all done saying that putting the body in the freezer will never tell the day and time of the murder to anyone. And the whole movie moves around that freezer in which the body lies. The moment this came on screen I lost all my interest of seeing the talented star-cast together in a mystery movie. The movie has been shot competently but the writing leaves wide cracks open in the mystery. Paresh Rawal as always carries the movie on his shoulders and tries hard to make it convincing. Though the performances of Naseer, Neha and Boman were enjoyable and the director Shivam Nair also manages to shoot some good sequences. But the viewer cannot be served performances alone. The makers need to think that audiences have some to see a crime drama with twists and turns opening new angles to think. If a Murder Mystery raises too many questions and there are no answers to those queries in the narration then it doesn't qualify to be a good thriller. "Maharathi" is the best example to that. For example, Why Nasser kills himself and why not he kills his wife Neha instead to get rid of all troubles? Why he leaves everything inherited to Paresh whom he has met just few days ago? Ironically, there is a life insurance of 25 crores done by Nasser and he is living his life miserably all in debts. If he can manage to pay the premium of this huge sum then why he cannot pay his debts off? Tara Sharma, an architecture student, is kept as a house keeper who never visits the room of his sick employer and just keeps on washing floors. She is shown to be dumb and a night walker too but surprisingly she is sharp enough to help Paresh by giving false statement to the police knowing that he will never get caught. What is Boman Irani (The Lawyer) contribution to the plot? What was his relationship with Neha? Boman seems to be doing silly things in the climax, not expected from a well established Criminal Lawyer? Om Puri (completely wasted) enters as a detective and he is so experienced but he doesn't doubt Paresh and never questions him about background or his entry in the house just few days back. And in the climax he just shoots Boman, just like that as if it was an encounter. Why he doesn't shoot on his hand as a responsible officer? Apart from these there are so many questions which I can go on with but there is no use of listing them as they would not get any answers. But I must say that if a die-hard fan of Alfred Hitchcock, Agatha Christie, Felu-Da and Byomkesh Bakshi (like myself) watches this movie then he will not like to say anything but would only love to get back to the masters of mystery cinema as soon as possible and see or read any one of their creations again. Interestingly the plot of putting the dead body in a box (deep freezer here) is quite similar to that in Alfred Hitchcock's "Rope". You can watch "Maharathi" only if you can ignore the faulty plot and would love to see the performances of the talented actors together.

Based on a new type of theme Maharathi is totally compatible for a suspense lover's mind. So, I admit that I kind of liked this movie. Paresh Rawal has done a tremendous act, so do Boman Irani. But some questions arise during watching this film of which answers can not be found. But all over it will grip you till the end. 

good movie and very good suspence and great work by all actors all are Maharathis

Movie is based on Gujarati Play. If you like suspense then this is the right type of movie. First half is a bit boring but second half is superb. You will be at the edge of your seat till the last minute. Paresh Rawal is at his best but if you have seen the original play then you cannot compare it. Twist and turn in 2nd half is good and almost same as it was in the play. Any ways.... after watching this movie i went back in my life.

The film "Maharathi" was a gud watch, wid sum excellent acting by whole cast including naseerudin shah, paresh rawal, om puri, boman, even neha nd tara (2 sum extent). The story of d film was also very gud nd backrop was also fantastic bt shock factor, necessary 4 any triller was missing. The pace also weekens in middle.

Seldom are movies made from a play... & this one goes the right way! The last theatre i can remember off hand was AANKHEN... A Bachan & Paresh Rawal. The movie wasnt quite catchy, but one could imagine the kind of theatrical performances it must have delivered..<BR><BR> Today, i saw an actual performance, only difference being, I saw it on the screen.. The way the movie was done, one felt the characters were alive on a stage in front of me!!! <BR><BR> The plot of the movie is very good. But the performances are mindblowing! One couldnt have set a better cast, & while the ladies need to do much better, the quartet of Boman, Paresh, Naseer & Om Puri swept me off my feet!<BR><BR> While Paresh Raval dominates the movie completely, it is Boman's sharp performance that draws the curtain! I couldn't have spent my Friday night better.<BR><BR> It is a movie worth treasuring... Please have a look!

First day, first show - took me back to school & college days!<BR><BR> There were only 25-30 people in the multiplex interested enough to be watching the movie.<BR><BR> Anybody who has watched theater will abhor the movie; as would some movie lovers too.<BR><BR> Naseer was the best, followed by Boman.<BR><BR> Neha a miscast, Om a zombie & Why Tara of all people?<BR><BR> Paresh hogged the scenes as rightly he was entitled to. But post hera pheri, the line of acting to hamming has been bridged. He just overacts his way through. Also his new stud avtaar, has taken off the acting skills along with the weight.<BR><BR> The movie should have been taut with another 20 minutes being chopped off.<BR><BR> And the only saving grace during the time - a lady thought running for pop corn was more important during the national anthem; whereas a 8-10 year old piped clearly ‘Papa, we have to stand at attention’ Way to go….The future is focused
