Kairam Vaashi reviews "Max," the highly anticipated action thriller starring Kiccha Sudeep, directed by debutant Vijay Karthikeyaa and produced by Kalaippuli S. Thanu. The film marks Sudeep's return to the big screen after a two-and-a-half-year hiatus following "Vikrant Rona."

Vaashi praises the film's premise, which follows Inspector Arjun Mahakshay (aka Max), known for his unorthodox approach to justice. The reviewer highlights the tense and smart storytelling in the first half, particularly a 10-minute countdown scene that engages multiple tracks simultaneously. The Mind Games between Max and various characters, especially the police commissioner, are noted as standout elements.

While drawing comparisons to Lokesh Kanagaraj's films like "Kaithi" and "Vikram," Vaashi emphasizes that "Max" delivers on entertainment despite borrowing elements from other movies. The reviewer commends B. Ajaneesh Loknath's score for amplifying the tension and praises the cinematography and pacing, especially in the shadowy night scenes.

Kiccha Sudeep's performance is highly praised, with Vaashi noting his command over emotions, inimitable swag, and overall screen presence. The second half shifts focus to physical action, which Sudeep handles seamlessly, though Vaashi feels it loses some of the strategic tension established earlier.

The review points out that while there's no shortage of antagonists, none pose a serious challenge to Max, lowering the stakes. Despite this, Vaashi concludes that "Max" delivers as an intense action thriller, offering a fresh treatment for Kannada audiences and showcasing Sudeep's excellence once again.
