Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Did you people see the same film I saw?

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

This movie has everything; lot of turns and twists in the plot to keep you in nail-biting and the best thing is your mood will be pleasant all the way even a tragic accident is filmed in such a way that you don't feel unpleasant. You go in the hall on Friday afternoon, enjoy 2h and 18m and come out with a mood full of joy. Now the question is why people did not notice this movie? I would say the name of the movie. Even when I saw the name I thought it is a stunt movie.

Based on a play, 'Maharathi' has a stellar cast, who deliver without fuss. But sadly, the film isn't strong enough to back their talent entirely.'Maharathi' Synopsis: A street-smart newly recruited chauffeur partners with his employer's wife to pocket a hefty insurance claim, after his rich employer commits suicide. 'Maharathi' works in parts. The drama is dull at first, but picks up right after the billionaire commits suicide, but slows down again at places. Its the second-hour when the film comes to its potential & scores. The climax is well-done. However, the twist & turns are predictable. Uttam Gada's Screenplay is alright. Its never bad, but never exceptional either. The Dialogue, too, are very ordinary. Shivam Nair's Direction is good. He's handled some portions well. Cinematography is nicely done. Editing could've been sharper. Art & Costume Design are fair.Performance-Wise: 'Maharathi' has a terrific cast & almost all of them deliver. Paresh Rawal is superb as the street-smart opportunist, who seizes on the opportunity. His act doesn't miss a beat. Boman Irani, though his character is under-developed, is flawless as the mysterious lawyer. Om Puri has lesser screen-time, but plays it straight as the cop. Neha Dhupia is a surprise. She's convincing as the calculative, conniving wife. Tara Sharma is quite decent as the innocent care taker. Naseeruddin Shah is okay. The Late/Great Vivek Shauq lends fine support.On the whole, 'Maharathi' isn't razor-sharp, but good performances & some interesting moments make it a decent one-time watch.

a brilliant movie ... taking a risk of making a thriller which the Indian masses can understand is a big one.. though the multiplex audience (like me) loved the movie .. there are no romantic subplots or any item songs .. but just sheer acting and brilliant screenplay. a shot when the camera zooms out of a keyhole is one of the most brilliant scenes i have seen in Hindi cinema ... the protagonist looks like a young 30'sh year old fella, being done by paresh rawal (suresh in the movie), by great method acting. the movie urges the audience to think, like a thriller and the plot is an unpredictable one, for an Hindi movie, where almost everything is so predictable from the start .. the bad points are that tara sharma and neha dhupia have their limitations to act, is visible.. apart from them, and a few minor glitches, the movie is a must watch for someone seeking alternate bollywood cinematic experience...

It left me satisfied, honestly speaking. Nothing very great, except that maybe it features Paresh Rawal, Boman Irani and Naseeruddin Shah in a supportive role...It begins on a very boring note... very normal beginning and suddenly you feel like walking out and at that very moment the movie begins. Very thrilling story where a suicide has to be proved a murder in order to achieve a large sum of money.Light humor in places keeps the viewer not in suspense (trust me there's enough of that!), but keeps the person in a very interested mood. Naseeruddin Shah has given a good performance, and so has Boman Irani, and even Neha Dhupia was fine-ish, but the best performance no doubt was Paresh Rawal's! Very humorous, and very enriching and refreshing.Of course there were errors, and the cinematography could have been a 1000x better, because the camera is shaky at parts, and some gross errors (like blinking when you're dead!), but they can be ignored seeing the final result.All-in-all, with a very humorous and shocking climax and NO SONGS AND NO ROMANCE, this film has left me highly satisfied.Recommended to all. 7/10.
