Maharajasri Telugu Movie
Maharajashri is a movie with more twists than the gullies in old town in Hyderabad have. Talk of misleading or inappropriate titles and Maharajashri qualifies easily. Perhaps the self-belief that any word or situation can find place in a movie has lead the director to name this movie inappropriately.
Anyways, here is the story.
Rishi is a mechanical engineer and owns an automobile workshop. He has invented something new and is keen to take it to the world. His principles and upright nature is enough to make Anu Mehta fall head over heels for him. Rishi reciprocates Anu's love and they plan to get married. The hitch is Rishi's profession, which has no chance of getting the approval of her brother Vinod Kumar. Anu prods Rishi to market his invention and rise in life so that her brother would give consent to their marriage without any hesitation. Rishi gets the nod from a multi national company to go ahead with his invention project. So Rishi and Anu are cloud nine as their marriage is a possibility now. But fate, or should we say the director has other plans.
Nikhita is the sister of a ruthless contractor, Sai Kumar. Rishi arranges a success party of his project getting the approval of a MNC. He invites all his old classmates. Nikhita arrives at the party and Rishi says to her "I love you".
No Rishi is not in a double role in the movie. It's the same Rishi that loved Anu Mehta starts chasing Nikhita for love.
As mentioned earlier, Maharajashri is a movie with twists and turns, excellent job there. But the destination is not worth all the twists and turns.
There is nothing to write about Rishi's acting. It's just average and falls short of the promise he showed in A Film by Arvind. Nikhita on the other hand steals the show. Safi, a dynamo, is wasted in the movie. Sai Kumar is just a new version of the old villainy concept. All the characters look very unreal and the movie doesn't impress at all.
