Analysis

Maha Samudram starts with a bang and the director takes enough time to establish the characters and unfold the real story. The performances are the major highlights of the film and each and every actor delivered their best for the film. The music is good and the cinematography work, background score are top class. With decent twists, the first half happens on a decent note and the interval portions elevate the film well. The interval fight is well shot and presented. On the whole, the first half of Maha Samudram is decent and it keeps good expectations on the film.

The second half of the film misses the needed emotional connect throughout. The film is neither presented as an action entertainer nor as an emotional entertainer. Rambha Rambha song is well shot and it will thrill the masses. The film drops down after the arrival of Siddharth and the climax portions are completely predictable. The performances are the major USP of Maha Samudram. The second half is a mixed bag and it may not appeal to all the sections of the audience.

Performance

Sharwanand is a natural actor and he impresses the audience in the role of Arjun. The actor shines in the action shots and the emotional episodes. He is a treat to watch on screen. Siddharth looks young and he exhibits dual shades in the role of Vijay. All the scenes having Sharwanand and Siddharth together are top class. Aditi Rao Hydari has a crucial role and the actress did her part well. She was flawless in the emotional episodes and she looked glamorous at times. Anu Emmanuel looks good in the crisp role and she did well. Rao Ramesh stuns everyone as Gooni Babji and the role stands out. Jagapathi Babu is energetic as Chunchu Mama and he does his part well. Garuda Ram looks powerful but his role is restricted. All the other actors are good in their roles.

Maha Samudram has an interesting plot and the screenplay is good but the narration and treatment are predictable. The dialogues are good. The cinematography work is the major highlight of Maha Samudram and it stands out. The music is good and the background score elevates the film well. The editing work should have been better. The production values are good enough. Ajay Bhupathi who kept the bars high with Maha Samudram fails to live up to the expectations.
