Synopsis

Isahak is a fisherman who falls in love with Devi. They get married at sea and spend their first night at sea. But their happiness is short lived as Devi is arrested and jailed for murder on that very same night. Mohanlal portrays Isahak, a fisherman who was denied the joy of spending even a day with his wife played by Laila. Isahak was essentially a person who is good at heart, but the problems in his life drive him into evil although he appears an affable person on the outside. It is on their fifth wedding anniversary that Isahak comes to know that Devi is being released on parole. This changes his whole world and brings joy to his life. Innocent plays Isahak's father who becomes insane after the loss of his wife. Jagathy plays the role of a priest, one of the few persons in whom Isahak confides. The story deals with the various problems and troubles in Isahak's life and how they change him. Mahasamudram, Dr. S. Janardhanan's maiden venture, aims at making it big at the box office. Although a lot many movies have been made on the sea shores and the life of fishermen, Dr. S. Janardhanan says that his movie is different because the sea is an essential part of the film and not a mere backdrop. Isahak and Devi get married at sea; many other turning points of the movie also take place at sea. This is Mohanlal's first movie as a fisherman. Laila from the Tamil film industry joins Mohanlal as the lead lady. The filming is being done at Vizhinjam and Alappuzha
