So I happened to watch Sarvam film as night show at udhayam.(Don’t let ur imaginations takes its wings as with whom did I make it to theatre ......Appa , Amma , Thangatchi accompanied me )
Friends gave me enough comments and dropped advice as not to !!
This made my mind set perfectly to capture the directors’ mood as wat he intended to.
Vishnu varadhan the director has picked an unsold American novel... probably got to read it on his return to Chennai with background thought on utter flop of Billa which came out with heavy expectations.(So wats Next ? Wats next ? )
Vishnu's projects are usually not commercial tamil one's , He holds a string of the story n try to make it presentable to tamil audience with Gala Romance n senti.
This formula has worked well for Aridhum Ariyamalum , bad for Billa n worst for Sarvam.
Good story ? which u can associate with ur frnd's life or urs!! then nothing doing !!
Moral ? (U ll probably find one , if u believe if he(director) has one , I got it as "Dont use cell phones while driving" )
Comedy ? padamaey Comedy thaan !!
Romance? (Araya and Trisha was meant for such elements , ada paatheengana chemistry, physiscs nu oru mains subject kuda illa pa :-( )
Best part of the flim was "Volin of Illayaraja's Enna Iniya pon nilavae song" to convey Arya 's feeling on Trisha.
First part fulla "Chennai "
Second part was captured in chill weather and with serious scenes at Moonar (I liked this part for the reason that Vishnu tried to capture their (Arya n Trisha) pleasant affection even after Trisha's exit well before intermission) .
Trisha was replaced with a small kid (Sweet he was at his manner of being "More to himself" attitude) and rest of the film is with Arya n small boy.
Most of who has watched would say "Sarvam" not worth paying or not even once !
I would suggest for a one time show provided u have ur mind clean with no obsession , n that ll make u(probably write a blog like this n call urself a worth one n none appreciates it :-) )
Life is all (sarvam) about accepting the facts !!
