Movie Review - Sarvam (2.5/5)



Warning: has the entire story, which includes spoilers.

Story:
The first have of the movie have two stories running in parallel and they connect in the second half.

1st Story:
Karthik (Arya) falls in love with Sandhya (Trisha) at first sight. Eventually, make her fall in love with him as well. Sadly, she meets with an accident right before the interval.

2nd Story:
Eshwar (JD. Chakravarthi) stalks Naushad (Indrajith) to kill his 8 year old son, Imaan (Rohan Shiva). Reason being that Naushad accidentally kills Eshwar's wife and son in an accident. Although the court forgives Naushad, Eshwar doesn't and want to kill Imaan and cause Naushad the same pain he is in as revenge. As a side note, we learn that Imaan is suffering from some heart problem. Right before the interval, the heart problem becomes life threatening to Imaan.

After the Interval: Combine Stories
Sandhya dies and Karthik get depressed (obviously). Soon he learns Sandhya's heart is transplanted into Imaan to save his life. Karthik goes to meet Imaan. Also, he explains to Naushad about Sandhya's heart and Naushad welcomes him and lets him visit Imaan. Later, Imaan is attacked Eshwar again, but saved by Naushad. Naushad gets hurt in the process, so Karthik offers to help take care of Imaan. For some reason, Imaan doesn't like Karthik and they don't get along too well. But Karthik, out of his love for Sandhya now for Imaan, deals with Imaan well, which makes Imaan eventually like Karthik. Eshwar strikes again, and Karthik saves Imaan. The movie ends with Naushad, Imaan and Karthik all happy and Eshwar disabled in a hospital.

Analysis:
I like Arya and Trisha. Since they were the leads, I like the movie a little more than usual. Arya usually plays the antagonist, so seeing him as a protagonist is a little awkward. Trisha is good a usual. The songs were good, even though I didn't understand the complete meaning of the lyrics. The kid was not entirely adorable, but suited the role good enough. Ending fight is too long. Overall a good movie, different from the routine genres.

Also, the movie story is really close to the "Dil Ne Jise Apna Kahaa". Except Sarvam is a romantic/action movie, while DNJAK is a complete romantic entertainer.

Bottom Line:
Don't need to run to the theater to watch the movie, but do watch it once it is out on DVD.
