From the soil of Bihar to the heart of the nation, Maharani Season 4 raises the stakes and pits the strong, resilient Rani Bharti against the nation’s Prime Minister. The latest installment of the celebrated political drama has dropped on SonyLIV, and early critical and audience reactions are pouring in, declaring the new season a gripping, high-stakes political thriller that, despite a few predictable twists and pacing issues, is elevated by its powerhouse cast.
Huma Qureshi has once again received widespread acclaim for her outstanding and hard-hitting portrayal of Rani Bharti, now a mother to grown children, balancing familial duty with national ambition. Her performance is cited as the show’s unshakeable pillar.
The new season introduces a time jump, bringing Rani’s children, Roshni (Shweta Basu Prasad) and Jai (Shardul Bharadwaj), into the political fray. This shift has been praised by many viewers for injecting freshness and renewed energy into Season 4. Vipin Sharma, as the calculating Prime Minister, stands out as a compelling antagonist.
The clash between Rani Bharti and the Prime Minister has also been singled out as a major highlight. The themes of corruption, coalition politics, and personal betrayal within the highest office make for an intense and engaging watch.
However, this time around, the twists and overall storyline feel more predictable than in previous seasons. Many believe the quality has dipped slightly, as the narrative leans more toward spectacle and rousing dialogues than raw political authenticity.
The fourth season also becomes somewhat underwhelming due to its dense and rushed plot, which can feel hard to fully absorb at times.
Maharani Season 4 may show signs of fatigue common in long-running series, but it still delivers on its promise of high-voltage political drama. Anchored by Huma Qureshi’s commanding performance and boosted by the additions of Shweta Basu Prasad and Shardul Bharadwaj, this season serves as a worthy expansion of Rani Bharti’s empire. Stay tuned for more updates.
Here are some of the early reactions to SonyLIV’s Maharani Season 4.
