A rich businessman returns to India to mend ways with his ex-classmate. However, when he learns about his friend’s plight, he tries to help him and becomes a saviour for the villagers in the process.In the third act of Maharshi, an elderly farmer who until then hasn’t paused to gawk at Rishi Kumar (Mahesh Babu) like many others in his village, takes a new look at him. This Rishi is a changed man, who knows that his billionaire stature and powerful position alone cannot solve a crisis. What happens in the last 45 minutes or so is the crux of the film and has the potential to leave viewers moved.
If Mahesh’s previous film Bharat Ane Nenu discussed local governance and other ideas, this one looks at agrarian crisis and stresses on the need to respect our farmers. Also, how about getting millennials to do some #weekendfarming? Rishi is the agent of change.At the heart of Maharshi is a story that could have been leveraged to make a compelling social drama that also traces the transformative journey of an ambitious man. But there’s a huge gap between what it could have been and what it is.
