Cast: Naveen Chandra, Salony Luthra, NarenDirection: Arun MohanGenre: CrimeDuration: 2 hours 13 minutes
Synopsis: Vikram, an ambitious young man who wants to get rich quick, is dejected when his project is rejected by his wealthy client Chandrasekar. He tries to take revenge and that is when he crosses the path of Chandrasekar's daughter Sruthi...
Movie Review: There is new-gen and there is wannabe new-gen and Sarabham belongs in the latter category of filmmaking. It has the elements that we've come to recognize in the new-gen films of the past two years. The producer CV Kumar has become a brand himself by making these films while one of its actors has become a regular feature in such films. The story belongs in the noir genre, there are twists, and the film has an urbane vibe topped with slick cinematography and editing.
And yet, the film feels somewhat empty — not hollow but empty, in the sense that its world doesn't really come as a lived-in one. Other than the three major characters, the other supporting characters seem to be there just to fill in the spaces. And the locations too, especially the houses of Vikram and Chandrasekar, seem like those artful settings we see in TV commercials. Everything is so clean, so sterile that there is no mess, even when there is murder, kidnapping and double-crossing involved. Ironically, the only thing that is chaotic is the electronica-influenced score, which needed to be minimalist.
