Vishnuvardhan’s ‘Sarvam’ is a mix of romance and thriller elements. The movie is trendy and stylish.  It has come out as a visual and musical treat thanks to Nirav Shah and Yuvan Shankar Raja.

Vishnu has attempted to make the film a serious thriller without gimmicks. While the first half revolves around romantic sequences involving cool Arya and fabulous trisha, the second half concentrates on a revenge drama.

Karthick (Arya), a software professional falls for paediatrician Sandhya (Trisha ) who keeps giving him repeated brush-offs. And there is a sidetrack involving mentally disturbed Easwar (J.D. Chakravarthy), who is affected by a car accident. He gives some jitters to father-son-duo - Naushad (Indrajeeth) and Iman (Rohan) - as a revenge for the loss of his own son, who died in a car accident caused by Naushad. 

The rest of the story deals with how Karthick saves the child from the clutches of Eashwar. There is a twist in the tale in form of a heart transplantation, which makes Karthick very close to the child.

That Vishnu has concentrated more on visual techniques rather than narrative skills makes the movie less appealing in terms of content. He hasn’t etched the characters well. The sequences leading to the crisis and the climax are less convincing as well.

Vishnu, however, has made the romantic sequences well. Yuvan’s fantastic music adds more attraction to the romantic scenes, in which Trisha looks fabulous.

Arya, Vishnu’s favorite star, has done a good job. He comes across as a cool, suave architect. However the fact that he is non emotive when certain scenes demand histrionics doesn’t auger well for the movie. 

Trisha is simply superb. The gorgeous girl steals our heart with her fresh and charming looks. She has also portrayed her role of a doctor, who is in love with the protagonist. The problem with her character is that she gets very little screen space, which leaves us disappointing.  

JD Chakravarthy from Tollywood has done well but the impact of his acting is marred by the flaw in his characterization. Like Arya, JD too is wanting in his expressions in some powerful scenes. Malayalam actor Indrajith as a desperate father is quite competent. 

Nirav Shah has done a marvelous work with his camera. The locales of Chennai, Rajasthan and forest lands look fabulous through his lens.  

Yuvan, another favorite of Vishnu, has given yet another youthful music track. His background score is amazing.  

The movie looks stylish. The camera work and music are excellent. Fresh looking Trisha is definitely a plus point. Despite all these positives, the movie loses somewhere due to some flaws in the script, characterization, and performances.
