Sarvam is a culturally grounded anthology that excels in regional authenticity through its South Indian setting. It weaves complex, interconnected character arcs into a cohesive narrative, going beyond simple protagonist clichés. While the film explores various professional roles, it stays within the boundaries of traditional storytelling without seeking to challenge social hierarchies or engage in identity-based political discourse.

Official Synopsis
The film revolves around five individual characters and the events in their life, that, on the one hand, changes everything in their respective lives, which the film's title refers to, and, on the other hand, also brings together these people. It is an anthology film, that contains two parallel moving stories, which are connected by a freak accident in Chennai. A young architect, falls in love with a young beautiful pediatric doctor, runs after her and tries to convince her to marry her, while, simultaneously, a morose ex-football coach troubles a software engineer by vowing to kill his eight-year-old son. How these characters get connected and confronted through the accident forms the crux of the story.
