Maharaja ending explained
Did the thieves steal his dustbin??
Maharaja narrates the story of a father who has lost his wife in an accident when a truck rams into a house. While his wife couldn't survive, his daughter Jyothi, a newborn survives, as a dustbin falls onto her. Maharaja makes sure that his daughter gets all the love and even starts worshipping the dustbin that he named Lakshmi.?
His life however takes a turn when three men enter his house and steal the dustin away - not the jewelry, not the cash, but Lakshi is now missing. He goes to the Police station to file a complaint. Initially, the police dismisses him. Why would anyone file a complaint about a stolen dustbin. However, when he offers Rs 7 lakhs in reward, the Police starts the investigation. The Police creates a replica of the dustbin and decide to get the reward. As they investigate the case, they suspect he is hiding something deeper.?
