    ❤Thanks from Tamilnadu
    your presentation is nice
    😊and one question for you
    Do you know why when nallasivam act infront of police how he "stole" lakshmi when police finaly reveal truth and ask Maharaja "what we do with nallasivam"
    and why maharaja insist on "leave" him?

    • @FilmyInfluencer
      @FilmyInfluencer  3 місяці тому +3

      Glad you liked the video... To answer your question - Maharaja insists on leaving Nallasivam, because he can lead Maharaja to Selvam, and Jothi wanted to confront her assualters, because she knew that her father will kill them. So she insisted Maharaja leaves them, so she can at least talk to them, and let them know of what they have done.

    • @CherryFox7
      @CherryFox7 2 місяці тому

      If he want him punish, police will do action and put him in the bar. Maharaja wants to kill remaining 2 of them... like 1st one, he will kill Nallasivam and get 3rd one details. Before that he takes his daughter as she wish... Unfortunately Anurag was her real father, he shocked and leave him alive...

      @@FilmyInfluencer yup bro... But should be done in subtle way.
      I like the hint of touching backside when we re-watch the movie. Also mobile phone video recordings match cut.
      But it never hinted following things that they are lying us, that is when we say, cheating.
      0- coincidences should not be tolerated in so called masterclass writing (specifically in 2nd and 3rd act) . It is lazy writing.
      1- without any particular mentioning, the culprit policeman didn't came that day, the day maharaja came
      2- cheating by saying lakshmi, although it doesn't fit at the end. 3-Case would be much easier if maharaja would have said a policeman from your side with small bump( cheated said ear instead) at back
      4- they didn't provide any how the hell diamond was only left behind on shop
      5- he was seen injured even before he fights with the first villain at same place ( beside ear). I know knees would by the way.
      6- randomly main culprit accepts to give tin (i know till then they were knowing he is culprit).
      (I am not complaining how they misdirected us through timeline, because it gets obvious when we watch second time)
      Like in shutter island, when we rewatch, we see that how the hell we missed the cues it provided everytime.
      Btw I am not saying that maharaja isn't a great movie, just saying it isn't a masterclass of writing according to me.

      @@DreaMagnifier the fact that a filmmaker forced one to watch it the 2nd time is a win in itself... often times we rate a movie saying its a one-time watch. IMHO if I had to watch a movie a 2nd time, I have respect for that film. Let's take Inception for example or Tenet even - one cannot understand all that in one sitting, but if you carefully look at their screenplay, they are amazing... I don't attempt making breakdowns of Nolan's movie because there is so much to uncover each time I watch it...
      So you can have it either subtile or convoluted - you can't have both.

    Snake also symbolises anurag - as he said snake doesn't recognize its egg
    Snake(Anurag) enters Vjs house doesn't recognize jothi and gets away.
    Snake symbolism also relates to nallasivam is, only vjs catches the snake in police station, till that day no one in police station that a snake comes and goes to the police station, similar to nallasivam related to the police station as a informer as he frequently visites police station without getting caught.

      @@wildearth281 I recommend you watch the movie again because some of your questions are questioning the exact reasons why Maharaja is good.
      Let me pick just one point - u turn by seemingly corrupt police at the end was unexplained --- there is something called a calling, an honest calling that can arise when you see something terribly bad has happened. The Corrupt police were always after money, they never jeopardized someone's life. Now they see one of their own has assaulted a girl, a conscience grows in them. That U-turn is very well explained by the mere idea of a conscience grow.
      Non-linear storytelling can be a "slow burn" experience as well, it doesn't have to be a "shock and awe" at each corner... I watched it and noticed a puzzle, and the Whatsapp chat is when I understood that the case is not about Laxmi but Maharaja's daughter.
      I request you watch it again without any pre-conceived notions and expectations. Watch it as a puzzle solver, and you will see bread crumbs of hints thrown by the storyteller, the ones who catch it will enjoy the movie more.
