Themes

A few of the sublime issues that got answered by Maharaja are: single parenthood, lack of concern and desire of justice by the society. Maharaja is viewed as the symbol of all fathers as he tries to do everything to protect his little girl in a world she does not understand and which she cannot win over and break free.

It takes a lot of persistence to personally fight against one bereavement and fight injustice.

This is also highlighted in the movie by citing the perception of social marginalization by the police, who treat him contemptuously. This demonstrates that systems defend themselves at the charges of those to whom they are meant to serve.

Thus, it may be observed that the recognition of critics and the acceptance of the audience confirms the effective and provoking narration.

Maharaja is an excellent exhilarating concept in the genre of action thrillers introduced to Tamil, with its highly sizzling storyline propped with brilliant acting blended with cutting edge technology of camera techniques.

Nevertheless, the most complicated practice in working under the direction of Nithilan Swaminathan is to cover the loss of the personality in addition to social hindrances in seeking justice.
