Analysis

Sridevi Soda Center starts at a fast pace and the first 20 minutes of the film is high and racy. Sudheer Babu thrills the audience with his screen presence and the action episodes are well designed. Though the love story is not that impressive, Sudheer Babu and Anandhi add life to the episode. The film looks completely predictable and has nothing exciting. The interval episodes are ok and the first half of Sridevi Soda Center is strictly passable. The second half of the film plays a crucial role in the success of the film.

But the second half of Sridevi Soda Center fails to live up to the expectations of the audience. The film looks poor, dragged and lengthy. Several episodes are extended to the core and it is the performances that make the film decent. The pre-climax episodes are predictable and boring. The climax twist looks good but the second half of the film offers nothing. The editing work is pathetic and close to half an hour of the film should have been chopped off. On the whole, the second half of Sridevi Soda Center is a disappointment.
