The film completely belongs to Aditi Rao Hydari, who has delivered an interesting performance on debut. Despite being alien to the language, Aditi has emoted beautifully, besides also perfectly dubbing her own lines, with sync. Sudheer Babu despite playing the second fiddle for the most part when he shares screen space with Aditi, scores wherever possible, and has delivered a subtle performance. Naresh and Rahul Ramakrishna evoke laughs and are adequate. The rest of the cast doesn't get much scope as the movie primarily belongs to Aditi and Sudheer.
The movie has a refreshing BGM and song track, full credits to Vivek Sagar, who has impressed with his pleasant numbers like Manasainadedo, O Cheli Thara, and all the other numbers as well. Cinematography by PG Vinda captures the indoor locales of Sudheer's home as well the filmy visuals featuring Aditi with perfection. Marthand Venkatesh's taut editing makes sure there's never a dull moment in Sammohanam. Sammoaham marks the return of Indraganti Mohanakrishna after the back to back success of Gentleman and Ami Thumi, and the director, known for his knack of choosing different genres, this time goes for a love story of a writer who hates films and an actress.
The director has opted to present struggles faced by actresses in the film industry with the help of Aditi's Sameera and fairly succeeds. While the first half moves on a leisurely pace with fun and appealing visuals, the second half is very slow and turns preachy as well, with more emphasis on dialogues than actions. However, Aditi's performance, the beautiful songs by Vivek Sagar and Vinda's cinematography help Indaraganti Mohanakrishna's Sammohanam end up as a decent venture that requires little patience.
