Anupam Kher and Amrish Puri do their contradicting roles well, and the little girl playing Kher's little daughter is also okay for a child actor and she is very cute and likable. Sunny and Poonam have a wonderful chemistry, which is in my view even better than in Sohni Mahiwal. Poonam Dhillon looked a million bucks here and her acting was quite natural.
Something in his persona in this movie reminds me of his debut role in Betaab, which was actually directed by Rahul Rawail himself. Sunny Deol stars as the leading man and he does very well. Samundar without a doubt has its entertaining and exciting moments of comedy, romance and suspense. Everything, from the costumes to the sets, contributes to this depiction. The film is also quite modern in its presentation of the characters and their lifestyle, which is more urban and affluent. Although the story itself is not particularly impressive, the film is beautifully shot and the locations, particularly the many exotic views of the ocean, are simply breathtaking. The movie is set in modern-day India and takes place around the Maldives on the coastline of the Indian ocean where the main characters reside. The romantic sequences are actually the film's best executed and they overtake everything else in it, even though it is a mixed genre film which could be also called an action flick or a thriller.
There is obviously an inevitable but charming love story in all this involving the hero and the innocent man's lovely sister in-law. This is a nice if typical revenge tale only that the person who the hero wants to take revenge on is actually innocent, and he mistakes the real villain who murdered his father for his friend, thinking he wants to help him. Rahul Rawail's Samundar is overall a watchable and enjoyable mainstream movie.
