Synopsis
"Maharaj" (2024) is an Indian period drama you can watch online on iFILM. Director Siddharth P. Malhotra adapts the Maharaj Libel Case of 1862: journalist Karsandas Mulji publicly challenges a revered religious leader's conduct, and then faces the full weight of that figure's social authority in court.
The film marks Junaid Khan's feature debut — he carries the lead without trading on his surname. Jaideep Ahlawat plays the Maharaj: a man of immense institutional power, unaccustomed to being questioned by anyone, let alone a journalist. The original trial rocked colonial Bombay; what Mulji walked into was an attempt to destroy him publicly before the proceedings even had a chance to begin.
Sharp courtroom drama that earns its historical setting. Stream "Maharaj" (2024) online on iFILM.
