Sarvam Maya

So, "Sarvam Maya" is this interesting blend of comedy and horror that really gets you thinking about belief and,like, the whole idea of life after death. You’ve got this main character who’s kind of lost his faith in God, which I think sets the stage for a lot of the themes. It's like, when you strip away belief, what are you left with? That kind of existential dread hangs over the film,but it does it in a way that isn’t all doom and gloom, which is refreshing. What’s really intriguing is how our lead meets the spirit of a young woman who's got amnesia about her own death. That’s where it gets a bit wild,'cause not only is he trying to figure out what happened to her,he’s also wrestling with his own doubts and fears. It’s like this weird little dance between the living and the dead,where both sides are kinda searching for closure. Does it work? Mostly,yeah. but there are moments where it feels a bit jumbled, almost like they’re trying to pack too many themes into one film. The comedic elements are there, and sometimes they hit just right. I mean,it’s not all laughs; there are these moments where humor breaks the tension,which is kinda essential in a horror comedy. You can see the characters trying to navigate their situations with a mix of fear and absurdity,and that’s relatable in a way. It's hard to say if they completely nail the balance, though. Sometimes,the humor feels forced,like they're trying too hard to get a laugh, which can be distracting. Visually, I thought the film did a decent job.

The cinematography isn’t, like,groundbreaking or anything,but it has this nice, atmospheric quality that complements the story. There are scenes that just capture the eerie vibe perfectly. Like, you can feel the tension in the air, especially when the spirit is involved. Those moments where she interacts with the main character have this haunting beauty to them,which I guess adds depth to their connection. characters really shine here. The lead, for instance, goes through this emotional rollercoaster. At first, he’s dismissive,almost sarcastic about the whole ghost thing, but as he gets deeper into the mystery, you can see him change. It’s subtle but effective. The actress playing the spirit is kind of mesmerizing,even though her character doesn't have a lot of backstory. It’s funny how a character with no memories can still evoke so much sympathy. I dunno if that makes sense, but there’s something very human about her struggle to remember who she is and what happened to her. There are also supporting characters that, while they’re not super deep, add a nice flavor to the story. They bring in some much needed comic relief,and sometimes they serve to highlight the main character’s journey. But I think the downside is that they can come off as a bit cliché.
