Unbelievably Unanimous Response on OTT

Maharaja, Vijay Sethupathi’s 50th film, made an impressive impact in theaters and has now made its way to OTT platforms. Released in theaters on June 14, the film has now become available on OTT, about a month later.

Thanks to its excellent storyline and Vijay Sethupathi’s superb acting, the film is attracting a massive viewership on OTT. Those who missed it in theaters are now discovering it online, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive.

Typically, many films that are hits in theaters receive a mediocre response on OTT. The digital audience often doesn’t share the same enthusiasm as theatergoers and labels such films as overrated. However, Maharaja is breaking this trend with a unanimously positive response.

The Hindi audience, in particular, is loving the film.

One Twitter user praised it as one of the best thrillers ever made in India, highlighting the direction, execution, plot twists, action, and intense final 30 minutes. They called it a masterpiece that will be remembered for decades, applauding director Nithilan Swaminathan, Vijay Sethupathi, and everyone involved in its creation.

Another user declared Maharaja the best Indian movie of 2024, comparing its twists and turns to the Drishyam series. They found it to be an emotional and hard-hitting thriller, predicting a National Award for Vijay Sethupathi and praising Anurag Kashyap’s surprise performance.

YouTubers are also raving about the film, urging everyone to watch it.

A few have found some things problematic, but since the film is so engrossing, people are ready to overlook them.

Maharaja is a rare blockbuster that earned love from both theatrical and OTT audiences.
