Plot
editIn the fishermen-only village of vetapalem, life centers around fishing. Ganga is a young man who plays with his pals, sings and drinks, and helps others. Alluraiah and his kid deva live in this village. Buys peasants' fish cheaply and sells them to the metropolis for much more. Ganga, who opposes this unethical tactic, suggests they sell the fish themselves, escalating their animosity. Deva's wife prepares for her sister, nandini, to return to prevent the issue from escalating. She stresses that the ganga feud would hurt them all.[7]
In the community, a new teacher renovates the dilapidated school. Brings change with ganga help despite parents' reluctance to send kids to school. Ganga likes this teacher. Ganga announces in front of everyone that he will marry nandini for the village, not the teacher. A major opponent named "gajini mohammad" arrives at the vetapalem sea after learning about a lakh-dollar tuna fish migration. The town cannot oppose him alone. His followers kill numerous villages with savagery. Ganga beats gajini mohammad and his followers with the help of a rural police officer, ensuring justice.

Reception
editSuhas Sistu of The Hans India rated the film 2.75 stars out of five stars and said "Samudrudu succeeds in delivering a heartfelt action drama with relatable themes of perseverance and community spirit. Despite a few technical drawbacks like inconsistent background music, the film remains engaging due to its strong performances, particularly by Suman. It’s a family entertainer that provides both visual appeal and emotional depth, making it a worthwhile watch."[9]
Suresh Rachamalla of News18 Telugu rated the film 2.75 stars out of five stars and said "The film is easily connected to the audience as it is about all known artists in the movie. The story has not yet felt much effect on screenplay, even though dipping is a little sink. The film, which comes in Action Drama Zoner, features such expectations and hits the audience."[10]
TA Kiran Kumar of Zee News Telugu rated the film 2.75 stars out of five stars and said "Never mind the background score for the movie. Except for the hero, the heroines .. Audiences are easily connected as the rest of the actors are known. The film's O category is appealing to the audience, though the dipping is not a little sink. Without compromising producers anywhere .. Well spent in technical terms. It looks on the screen."[11]
