Music songs super but story average better luck next time

Maharshi, starring Mahesh Babu, Pooja Hegde and Allari Naresh, is the journey of a man who is obsessed with success and how he slowly begins to reevaluate everything that he has done in his life to achieve his goal. Directed by Vamshi Paidipally, the film is treated like a biopic of a fictional character, who begins his journey as a self-centered young man to how he ends up being a social reformer. As a result, the film demands the viewers to emotionally invest themselves in the journey of Maharshi before it turns into a fulfilling experience. The bargain pays off quite well in the second half, when the film delves into social issues.
