Maharaj, directed by Siddharth P. Malhotra, takes us back to 1855, when religious leaders from the Pushtimarg and Vallabhacharya communities came to Bombay and started practicing their religion there. The film is inspired by true events, though the makers have taken certain creative liberties to make the narrative a bit more entertaining for the audience, though they have kept most of the l details of the Bombay Libel Case intact. I would say here that I was a bit let down by how the trial scene was executed. The trial happens only in the last few minutes of the film, and I believe it would have been more interesting if we had witnessed more loopholes, arguments, or cases. Nonetheless, let’s find out what was shown in the film versus what actually happened in real life.
They were scamming the people openly and yet enjoyed a lot of support from various communities in the city.

Directed by Siddharth P. Malhotra, Maharaj is the debut film of Junaid Khan, who plays the protagonist, Karsandas Mulji, alongside the prolific Jaideep Alhawat, who plays the titular character, and Shalini Singh, who plays his love interest. The film is based on real-life events that took place in the year 1862, when a man decided to speak against redundant, absurd, and oppressive practices and traditions and wage a war against societal norms. An article was published by Karsandas in his newspaper Satyaprakash, which the godman, Jadunathji Brijratnaji Maharaj, found defamatory, and he moved the court of law to sue the journalist. So, let’s find out what happened in the film and in whose favor the court gave the judgment.
Spoiler Alert

Horror comedy Munjya, which belongs to Dinesh Vijan’s iconic horror-comedy Universe that started with Stree, is having a great run at the box office. The film crossed the 50 crore mark on Sunday, and actor Abhay Verma was elated by such a brilliant response.
In an exclusive conversation with Koimoi, Abhay opened up about the success of the film, not just in terms of box office but also in terms of other factors since it is such a risk to make a film of this genre in India. However, the audiences have proved their loyalty to this genre in particular.
Interestingly, this would be Abhay’s second success after his Ott debut with Ae Watan Mere Watan, where he played a layered character of a youth torn between the love for his beloved and duties towards the nation during the freedom struggle.
