Utter waste of time this movie is. There are no redeeming qualities in it. The story is stupid, the songs are unmemorable, the performances are nothing to write home about. It is a complete waste of time.
I am a big fan of monster movies. It started with Jurassic Park , continued with The Mummy , the King Kong movies, Transformers series, Godzilla series, etc. If there is a large creature in a movie, I will watch it. Netflix captured my interest by showing me the thumbnail of this movie named Troll , and I decided to watch it. The movie starts like every film or TV series about a monster, with unexplained phenomena happening, and people speculating it to be something else, only for the monster to emerge and reveal itself to the world. The Norwegian government tries to cover up the existence of the monster for as long as possible, fails spectacularly, and it boils down to a ragtag bunch of humans who kill it eventually. Like many monster movies, the creature in this movie is trying to mind its own business, but inadvertently causes destruction to property. This results in the movie showcasing the worst behaviour among humans, where the first reaction to seeing something new is...
This movie is a complete mess, a mess so bad that it seems like it was made in two parts.

After about half the movie was shot, the dude whose responsibility was to direct the second half looked at what the dude in the first half did, scratched his head at the mess that was created, ...
It was 2a.m. in the morning on June 21, 2024. The wife and child had gone to sleep, and it was decision time for me. "Should I go to sleep, or should I watch something?", was the question on my mind. I seldom get a 2 hour window where I can watch a movie uninterrupted at home, and I decided to go for it. As I opened Netflix, I saw that the top movie on the platform was Maharaja . For the previous couple of days before, I saw the enormous amounts of praise this movie was getting online. It also got recommended by a friend who was a movie maker, and her opinions on movies is something I admire a lot. This was the movie I was going to watch. The movie begins with a tragedy that no family should go through. There however is a a ray of hope that makes the viewer root for the protagonist and his child. What happens next seem to be a series of unrelated events that leave the viewer confused with the direction the movie is taking. This confusion is further compounded by the non-line...
