Release

edit

The Times of India gave the film two out of five stars saying that "Utharavu Maharaja lacks the filmmaking panache that such a premise needs".[3] On the contrary, News Today Net stated that "With a little more effort from the cast and scriptwriter, Utharavu Maharaja could have been even better. Nevertheless, the movie that starts off in a complicated structure, sets itself on track to end with its ideology conveyed well.".[4] Cinema Express wrote "Utharavu Maharaja turns out to be a huge disappointment thanks to the hyperbolic performances, unrealistic staging and poorly-written dialogues".[5]
