What starts as a local squabble escalates into a chaotic riot, capturing the complexities of familial pride and village politics.Roshan Mathew and Shine Tom Chacko are seen playing brothers at the heart of this narrative, with their marriage-related issues appearing to be the central thread of the film. Nisha Sarang and Johny Antony portray their parents, adding warmth and comedic balance to the mix.
The teaser hints at light-hearted chaos wrapped in emotional storytelling, promising an engaging ride for family audiences.Mediocre response in theatresAlthough ‘Maharani’ had the talented Shine Tom Chacko and Roshan Mathew in the lead, the comedy entertainer received mixed reports from all over. ETimes only gave 2 star rating for the movie with our review reading, “Roshan and Shine try hard to play young men who are loveable, despite their tendency to discard one girl for another. Of course, because it is subject like this, there are quite a few instances of misogyny; even in the manner in which Vijeesh speaks to his former girlfriend. Ultimately, it feels strange that director G Marthandan, the actors and producer Sujit Balan felt that this story by Ratheesh Ravi was worth their effort.”
