But it's in the second reformatory half that the protagonist Rishi Kumar, and his story come into their own. The early scenes in the IIT campus are well executed.
Maharshi how to#
Director Vamsi Paidipally knows how to tap into Mahesh Babu's youthful image. The first-half with its quaint college is heartwarming without trying to be excessively cute. He scoffs at his father (Prakash Raj, in a moving cameo), taunts his best friend Ravi (Allari Naresh who can't decide whether he wants to spare isolation) who hero-worships him and drives away his girlfriend (Pooja Hegde, inconsequential) because.well, she doesn't fit into his ambitions. Mahesh Babu Aplays a man who thinks the world of himself. Seldom does a cinematic hero looks so comfortable with his arrogance. He doesn't shy away from comfortably occupying the moral high-ground that the narrative allots him. To be sure, almost every frame of Maharshi is dedicated to eulogizing its leading man as he plunges into the role of a social crusader. On the surface Maharshi is yet another star-vehicle for Telugu cinema's most revered contemporary superstar.

Breaking free of his innate political reservations he speaks out in favour of farmers of our impoverished country in a voice that never strains to be heard. Mahesh Babu who is a formidable icon in Telugu cinema, won't remain quiet any more. If you stay quiet you are accused of pacifism. It takes a whole universe of guts to shoulder one's responsibilities as an empowered citizen of India, as Mahesh Babu has done in this film.
