Maharshi's box office journey will largely depend upon Mahesh Babu's pull and fan power.-> Maharshi has earned a share of 12.50 crore for its international distributors. Mahesh doing better films with similar themes also turns out to be a hindrance for it. It is good in parts, but falls short of expectations on a whole. Lack of conflict and a strong villain also makes it a tedious journey to sit through.Īll in all, Maharshi has its moments here and there, but fails to maintain the momentum for a longer stretches. Another weakest link is the hero-heroine thread that seems very silly and out of sync with the main plot. Also the thread of father-son should have given enough time to have that pay offs later. The chemistry between the friends is absolutely lacking. The friendship and bonding between Rishi and Ravi isn't established well. Director and the team of writers have done a neat job in padding the story with nice sub plots. This sure has a good story and a well etched characterization, but doesn't seem fresh as the above mentioned movies are still afresh in our memories. This shade of Mahesh is almost the same as that we had seen in movies like Srimanthudu and Bharat Ane Nenu. In the second half, we get to see a totally different Mahesh who is serious, emotional sans sense of humor. But that is limited only to the first half. Mahesh's infectious energy as the college student is an absolute treat to watch. The film scores well in the college episodes and the pre-climax scenes involving farmers.

The film doesn't look coherent as all these additional aspects added into the film appear as purposefully added 'attractions'. But the director failed to make it a commercial film that caters to all sections in spite of putting in a lot of aspects like action, romance and family emotions into the screenplay. Maharshi has a strong script with a very good social message. The film is made on a very high budget and it can be seen in every frame. Cinematography is impressive, but the editing goes haywire. There are far too many ups and downs in the screenplay that it fails to sustain the interest levels through the long runtime.ĭevi Sri Prasad's songs are very ordinary except for a couple of songs that are situational. He has done well in handling emotional aspects in the second hour, but the screenplay is not coherent. The runtime has extended beyond bearable limits which in turn into the biggest weaknesses of the film. But he tried to make it a commercially viable one which has diluted it to an extent. Vamshi Paidipalli has a solid script on hands. Prakash Raj and Jayasudha are good as Rishi's parents. Jagapathi Babu appears as a corporate bad guy and he is alright. We cannot imagine anyone else in his character. Pooja Hegde has a very little role to play. His performance in emotional scenes is the biggest highlight of the movie. His looks and energy as the college student is a treat to watch. Mahesh Babu is superb as Rishi in all aspects. How Rishi fights against the corrupt system and corporate companies to fulfill his friend's wish forms rest of the story. He comes to make his friend happy and learns that his happiness is in saving his village. But he later knows that there is his friend Ravi's (Naresh) sacrifice behind his success. He becomes CEO of an international company. Rishi (Mahesh) is an ambitious guy who want to be super successful in his life. Did it live up to expectations? Let's analyze. A lot of expectations were riding on this landmark film of Superstar Mahesh Babu.
