MAX is MAXIMUM MASS ENTERTAINER for action fans and fans of Abhinaya Chakravarthy Kiccha Sudeepa. The film is entertaining and tension-filled from beginning to the end. The script written by Vijay Karthikeya is gripping, along with the dialogues by Manju Mandavya (who directed the Yash starrer Masterpiece). Vijay Karthikeya's direction is really good as he handles the action film tropes and fan service in a balanced manner. The action sequences are massy and well-choreographed by Chethan D'Souza, Dilip Subbarayan and Kevin Kumar. The songs by Ajaneesh Lokanath are good, with Maximum Mass being the highlight. The background score is also superb. The production design by Shiva Kumar. J is also good, with cinematography and editing by Shekar Chandra and S. R. Ganesh Baabu providing a good theatrical experience.
Kiccha Sudeep has delivered his vintage performance as a cop yet again, while Varalakshmi Sarathkumar and Sunil does their job well. Vamshi Krishna, Sharath Lohithaswa, Aadukalam Naren, Ugramm Manju, Ilavarasu, Sudha Belawadi shine well in their respective roles, but it is Kiccha Sudeep's show all the way.
Overall, Max is a Kiccha's fan-service at its best and a must-watch in theaters.
