Mumbai 2003, a maze of local trains, throbbing crowds, big land deals and intense politics. And in the center of it all, a volatile story. Two cops, one journey and a struggle for power, maximum power. But they are not alone in this game, there are other players. The conspirators moving at every level. Taking the dream through layers of emotions and betrayals to an unpredictable climax.

Instead of narrating a straightforward story, Kaushik shuffles events around, staging effects before causes

The Hindu

There is little character delineation or growth. It’s all about being gritty and cool

It’s all too grim and dull, and we don’t even get characters worth caring for.

Maximum turns out to be a dampener. Not because it doesn’t have interesting actors. Nor because it doesn’t have interesting situations. But because it comes off merely as 'Sehar' redux, minus its power

For a film about two policemen practically competing against each other in notching up encounter kills, Maximum is too much conversation, and too little action

Maximum fails to be the dirty cop saga it had promised to be. What we get instead is talk and more boring talk

The script is a mess, and the film depends more on stylized shots and plenty of posturing

Mint

Maximum shows minimum originality thereby making it a plain average attempt

Times of India

The story is predictable, the screenplay lacklustre and the characters undercooked

Director Kabeer Kaushik, has a good force of actors here and a gripping premise, but he doesn't quite lead the way

The film is too busy pushing up the body count to care about a conundrum that really counts. But all said and done, Maximum isn’t a washout – not by a long chalk. It is well crafted and superbly acted

Maximum has an attention-grabbing premise, but lacks the meat in its screenplay to leave much of an impact.
