On social media platforms, videos and photos surfaced showing people with widened eyes, raised eyebrows, and expressions of shock and disbelief.

The audience appeared deeply moved and captivated by the film's thrilling and unexpected storyline. Maharaja is a crime-thriller that tackles heavy themes like justice, morality, and the complexities of the human mind. Vijay Sethupathi plays a morally ambiguous character, a father who embarks on a journey to report a missing dustbin, only for the investigation to reveal disturbing truths. The film's narrative explores the deep emotional and psychological toll of vengeance, redemption, and the pursuit of truth.

The reactions from the Chinese audience reflect how effectively the film taps into universal themes. Despite cultural differences, the themes of family, justice, and human suffering resonated with viewers. The Chinese audience's enthusiastic reactions suggest that Maharaja has the potential to perform well in China, just as it did in India. When Maharaja was released in India in June 2024, it quickly became one of the highest-grossing Tamil films of the year, earning over ₹71.3 crore at the box office.

As the film gears up for its release in China, the promotional campaign is in full swing, led by Yi Shi Films and Alibaba Pictures. Along with Vijay Sethupathi, the film also features talented actors like Anurag Kashyap, Mamta Mohandas, and Natarajan Subramaniam. Produced by Passion Studios, Think Studios, and The Route, Maharaja has received positive reviews from both critics and audiences in India and is now poised to capture the attention of international audiences.
