Maharani Web Series Review, Huma Qureshi As 'Rani Bharti' Reigns Lonely Supremacy, Climax Is Abrupt

Huma Qureshi's Maharani Season 4 has created a thunder on the OTT platform, Sony LIV and showed the dynamics of Indian politics. The series directed by Puneet Prakash has been both an evolution and a continuation of a realistic political drama. Huma Qureshi as 'Rani Bharti' is seen stepping out of Bihar into the national power corridors. She is shown to have known the art of playing politics and also rewriting her set of rules.

Maharani Season 4 kicks off in the gigantic corridors of New Delhi. Vipin Sharma plays the role of 'Prime Minister Sudhakar Sriniwas Joshi' whose arrogance has ruled his intelligence. Vipin Sharma has started feeling cornered, and an ally has stopped giving him support. He is then turning to regional leaders, one of them being 'Rani Bharti', who is the formidable Chief Minister of Bihar.

Huma Qureshi's 'Rani Bharti' is shown to have suffered political humiliation

'Rani' has been shown suffering both personal as well as political humiliation at the hands of Vipin Sharma. She strikes his ego like a slap in the disguise of a smile. 'Rani' is seen visiting the residence of 'Sudhakar', who says, ''Ye Rani meri baat maanti hai." He asserts on 'Rani', and she says nothing, and in her silence, a war is declared. 'Rani Bharti' vouches to become the next Prime Minister of India. She wants to be the same, not to earn fame but to get justice, claim for things that she lost.

'Rani' to go to Delhi has to give up on the power that she already has. 'Rani' is then seen resigning as Bihar's Chief Minister, and has set the stage for a battle of succession that cuts her family and party. 'Rani's son, 'Jai Prakash Bharti,' played by Shardul Bhardwaj, is keeping his eyes on the vacant seat. Everyone gets shocked when 'Rani' nominates her daughter, 'Roshni' played by Shweta Basu Prasad. This decision has sent resentment through the entire household. Shardul's pride is wounded, and Shweta hesitantly accepts the same. There is a constant discontent like inside 'Rani's party.

Maharani Season 4 peels the skin of Indian politics

Maharani Season 4's director showcases the skin of the Indian politics where agencies such as the CBI and Income Tax Department are misued. Coalitions are shown to be violated, but the music of the series has shown the Indian soil. There is  Anand S. Bajpai’s Humaar Bhaiya and Suganwa, which has been taken from Bihar's folk traditions, and the song flows in an earthy, melancholic, and proud way. 'Rani' is shown to have conquered the world, and she is also seen paying a price on the other side. The narrative of Maharani Season 4 is overlong with a complex climax and does not strike a balance.

The songs are a reminder that 'Rani Bharti's journey from a housewife switching into politics was not at all an easy route. She has been shown as a leader who has strategic powers and her evolution has its own scars. There is a scene where 'Roshni' is seen taking her oath as the Chief Minister of Bihar and 'Rani' on the other side is seen getting emotional. She remembers her own oath-taking time, the days when her pronunciation was filled with a lot of nervousness. 'Rani' is seen filled with pride, melancholy, and nostalgia is seen kicking inside.
