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.

Vishnu has tried a marriage between commercial and real cinema in Sarvam and seems to have succeeded fairly.

Trisha is gorg...(more)
