With the film now released, netizens are sharing their thoughts on social media.
In ‘Maharaj’, Junaid Khan stars as Karsidas Mulji, a journalist and social reformer who fought for women’s rights in pre-independent India. The film focuses on the 1862 Maharaj Libel Case and also features Jaideep Ahlawat, Shalini Pandey, and Sharvari Wagh. Directed by Siddharth P. Malhotra and produced by Aditya Chopra.
A person wrote, “Thoughts after watching #Maharaj- First of all, I want to say loudly that @yrf and @sidpmalhotra deserve a pat on the back for choosing to make a film on a topic like this in such a sensitive country like ours! It was so nauseating to know that such things once existed!.”
A user praised Junaid’s performance: “And now talking about the performances, yes, about Junaid Khan. All I can say is that I am floored. This is perhaps going to be remembered as one of the strongest and most impactful Bollywood debuts ever. I am not exaggerating. This was not at all an easy character to play.”
A Bollywood fan wrote, “I was very excited about #Maharaj after all the reviews, but the movie exceeded expectations by a margin! It has an intense plot, some great performances, spectacular visuals, and soulful music; it also gives you a lot to think about. A powerful debut by Junaid Khan!”
Another user wrote, “Sorry Aamir, I think I will admire your son Junaid for a while.”
One user commented, “#maharaj #JunaidKhan natural acting makes the movie more interesting. @NetflixIndia, watch it.”
Following ‘Maharaj’, Junaid Khan is set to star in two upcoming movies. The first features Sai Pallavi, with various pictures and videos from their shoot going viral on social media. The second is a romantic comedy alongside Khushi Kapoor.
