'Sarvvam': Another visual treat from Vishnu!


Movie Review

Vishnuvardhan, who treated Kollywood to a slick visual treat in 'Billa', tries his best to make 'Sarvvam' astechnically perfect as a Hollywood film. And he has succeeded in his efforts, it seems. The only dampener is the lack of a gripping script, very much necessary for a thriller.

The director tells the story through five characters--an IT professional Karthick (Arya), Dr Sandhya (Trisha Krishnan) whom he tries to woo, Easwar, (J.D. Chakravarthy), Naushad (Indrajeeth) and his son Iman (Rohan). The director explores the role fate plays in shaping the future of these five people.

Upto the half way mark, Vishnu is establishing his characters. Then a freak accident takes place and the story takes a different turn; it becomes a thriller. The film has been immensely helped by Nirav Shah's spell-binding camerawork, Yuvan Shankar Raja's haunting background score and stunning action choreographed by Thiyagarajan.

As for acting, Arya impresses with his carefee, easygoing ways. Trisha has nothing much to do in the script. JD Chakravarthy as the villain looks menacing, but not very convincing. Though the script meanders in between, the film is worth a watch as the director has made an attempt to rework the success formula in Kollywood!
