Decent 1st half. Felt few sequences are very good, a few are unnecessary and the interval block is setup well for the 2nd half. Everyone looks like a million bucks ,Mahesh's dialogues strucks a chord .Naresh & Mahesh scenes work. Where as scenes with pooja are just ok #Maharshi Movies is picking up pace in 2nd, mahesh & Jagapathi babu scenes are excellent follows by allari naresh & sai Kumar scenes...just too good #Maharshi Farmers don't need sympathy, they need our respect and we owe them that Entire farmers episode is pure Gold. #Maharshi is a decent film which picks right gear in 2nd half and goes full throttle in the end , the last 40 mins I.e., farmers episode is the heart of the film. There are many wolf whistle moments but also some inconsistent writing reduces the impact. Thyview Rating : 6.5/10

#Maharshi 1st half 45 mins good (college episode) 2nd - 20 mins good (padara padara song sequences) Rest movie felt like dragged. Naresh is very good role, nailed it. Mahesh should change script selection.
Review Ram @MovieReviewRam
#Maharshi - Interval - Too many talkie portions, sadly #MaheshBabu continuously preaches all sorts of life values. MB's is super smart in the movie but no scene justify it by action, but only through dialogues. But, #Rishi's journey isn't engaging enough so far. Mass is missing!
Sreekanth Mantri @sree3339
A story driven with pure class and outstanding message #Maharshi. Thankyou @directorvamshi for a genuine movie that will be remembered forever @urstrulyMahesh we owe you respect for giving us such message oriented films and I do always

Sandeep Vardhan @sandeepvardhan1
Done with #Maharshi first half (at Leeds ,UK ) Mahesh won't disappoint fans.. a content based first half.. @urstrulyMahesh @MaharshiTheFilm Just watched #Maharshi in UK. As one of those youngest diehard fans of Krishna Garu, I always had that some dissatisfaction that Mahesh had not delivered a classic like Ooriki Monagadu. Now that is fulfilled. @urstrulyMahesh @MaharshiTheFilm

Good 1st half but lengthy #Maharshi Decent 2nd half extraordinary last 30mins . Overall good one. Top4 #Maharshi Negative side has too many issues, plot gets diverted too many sub stories unnecessary length not the one which should have been 25th film #Maharshi
Neeeeeee @neebondapetta
#Maharshi it is not bad but not a movie more like a lecture... mahesh Anna - enough of these lessons please. We want a movie from You not more and more lectures ... yes the cause is good but then just do some socialActivity personally not 150 cr budget movies. Thank you

#Maharshi First Half Report- Decent first half. Mahesh Babu's performance and comedy timing are pretty good Dialogues are good Little too long Shades of Businessman, 3 idiots! Second half so far is going on a routine and predictable note. #Srimanthudu rehashed. #Maharshi Review -A Forgettable Journey of Rishi! We are going with 2.5/5 Prestigiuos LandMark FIlm Should Be taken care by Heroes Routine & Predictable Story
