Lackluster.
The background score is marvelous. Art director Manu Jagadh has done wonders with his sets, and the visuals are astonishing! Nirav Shah's camera work too is scintillating. Anu Vardan's costumes are excellent, while Sreekar Prasad's editing fits the bill. Sadly, those are the only things you can watch out for; the screenplay takes a nosedive post the intermission, and after that, the inter-lapping storyline is more productive of yawns, and disbelief at the credulous end, lack of logic, and endless chases.

Enjoy the frames, forget the thrills.
Basically, Sarvvam is a thriller and unfortunately it does not grip us in a manner that a thriller should. Arya is top notch. Trisha looks fresh and beautiful and carries off her role in style. Arya and Trisha have got some excellent chemistry. But, the real hero of Sarvvam has to be Nirav Shah. Every single frame is a treat to watch. The art department, headed by Manu Jagadh, too must be applauded for some high quality work.(more)

The recipe is perfect but the dish isn’t wholly delicious …
'Sarvam' starts off with a surprise — it's a psychological thriller with a U! Sequences which ought to bring the viewer to the edge of the seat make him sit back supinely because they lack verve and raciness. Sarvam has the ingredients of a potential hit except the most essential, viz. gripping screenplay. The second half, in particular, is slow. (more)

Visual treat.
Vishnuvardhan's Sarvvam is good in parts. He has made the film with a wafer thin storyline, banking heavily on style and gloss. What works for the film big-time is cinematographer Nirav Shah's superb camera work. Yuvan's music and background score deserve a special mention. Manu Jagadh's art work looks real. On the whole, Sarvvam tries to rework the Kollywood commercial formula and emerges as a decent thriller. It is worth a look. (more)

Grand, glitzy and glossy.
Vishnu has tried a marriage between commercial and real cinema in Sarvam and seems to have succeeded fairly. Though the storyline seems to be familiar, yet with his typical visual narration, he walks away with all honors. He has struck to his task without deviating from the storyline. Trisha is gorgeous and as fresh as an apple. Nirav Shah's lens does all the magic capturing thrilling moments well. Yuvan's brisk re-recording towards the second half is praiseworthy.(more)
