It's been a while since I've had the chance to experience commotion so big on the big screen. Maha Samudram provided me with just that. Where should I even start here?
The flawed script, exaggerated fights, multiple deviations from the plot, and the big one, the inability to establish a subject of proper substance.
While I'm not at all certain how the director managed to narrate and made the protagonists accept, the director focused on making the film in a raw and rustic manner; it's nothing to be laughed at; whilst the effort of the actors is to be appreciated for the amount of work they've put in, that is no excuse for the direction and writing department's feeble effort in dishing out an exhausting storyline.
The positives, at times, being the fight sequences and the background score that follows. Every actor on-screen has managed to do a moderately good job. Plus, it is evident that not adequate amounts of concentration were put in to make the songs stand out.
The bottom line is, Maha Samudram is an exaggerated tale of misunderstanding and a frail revenge drama with a flawed narrative. All in all, it's a (barely) one-time watch.
