Huma Qureshi returns as Rani Bharti in Maharani Season 4, a tale of politics, power, and personal sacrifice. But with new faces, a global twist, and signs of fatigue, can the hit series hold its throne on SonyLIV this season.
Viewers can catch Maharani Season 4 on SonyLIV and OTTplay Premium.
New Delhi: The much-anticipated Maharani Season 4 has finally arrived, and fans of political drama are once again drawn into the ruthless corridors of power. Huma Qureshi reprises her acclaimed role as Rani Bharti, the fiery yet grounded woman who rose from a small-town homemaker to the Chief Minister of Bihar. The new season, now streaming on SonyLIV and OTTplay Premium, pushes her journey into uncharted territory, taking the political game beyond state borders and into the national arena.
Following the gripping end of Season 3, Rani faces an even tougher battle. A scandal forces her to step down from her position, leading her to appoint her daughter, played by Shweta Basu Prasad, as the new Chief Minister. What follows is a storm of resentment, betrayal, and manipulation as Rani’s legacy and leadership come under fire from within her own circle.
This season marks a major shift as parts of the story unfold in London, hinting at a larger international connection. The plot introduces a fascinating subplot revolving around the legendary Kohinoor Diamond, adding a layer of intrigue to the already charged narrative.
Huma Qureshi’s own updates from her London shoot gave fans glimpses of this new chapter, promising an expanded political landscape that stretches from Bihar to Delhi and beyond. The introduction of Shweta Basu Prasad adds a new dynamic, her character challenging the notions of power, family loyalty, and ambition.

Maharani Season 4 continues to explore the themes that have defined the series, caste dynamics, corruption, gender bias, and the cost of leadership. However, this time, the show also reflects the exhaustion that long-running political dramas often face. While still engrossing, the story’s twists and turns have become more predictable, replaced by dramatic confrontations and larger-than-life moments designed for mass appeal.
Yet, what keeps Maharani compelling is its character depth. Rani Bharti’s internal battle mirrors the moral dilemmas of real-world politics, where integrity often clashes with survival. Her interactions with the Prime Minister, played by Vipin Sharma, form the backbone of this season’s conflict, a tug-of-war between two powerful minds determined to outwit each other.

Huma Qureshi once again proves to be the heart and soul of the series. Her portrayal of Rani Bharti evolves with every season, blending vulnerability with resilience. She captures the struggles of a woman caught between duty, family, and power with remarkable finesse.
Among the returning cast, Sohum Shah, Amit Sial, Vineet Kumar, and Kani Kusruti deliver reliable performances, though the script offers them limited screen time. Shweta Basu Prasad stands out as a promising new addition, matching Huma’s intensity with confidence.
While Maharani Season 4 shows signs of creative fatigue, it remains an engaging watch for political drama lovers. Its vivid portrayal of ambition, betrayal, and redemption keeps audiences invested. Even as the storytelling turns predictable, the performances and emotional weight ensure that Maharani does not lose its crown entirely.
Whether Rani Bharti can rise once more, not just as a leader but as a symbol of strength, forms the core of this new chapter.
