The Tamil film Maharaja, featuring Vijay Sethupathi and Anurag Kashyap, has been living up to its name. Marking Sethupathi’s 50th film, Maharaja was released on the streaming giant Netflix in June. While it was released in India on June 14, it was released within a week in other countries all over the globe, including Middle-Eastern, South Asian and East Asian nations.
The Tamil film was streaming in Taiwan from June 18. The film has reached the list of top 10 non-English films in the country now, where it has been holding the position for six weeks straight, as of October 27. What’s more – it is the only Indian film on the list to have achieved the feat.
