Vezham is the kind of film that wants to be a mood-driven thriller but its convoluted writing frequently ruins the sombre, almost mournful mood that the filmmaking is going for. The film has a distinct aesthetic – the art direction, costumes and makeup give that upper-class chic feel that we get in TV commercials. The cinematography eschews bright colours, further adding to the ‘classiness’. As does the music. Breezy songs that seem pleasant to hear without being particularly memorable and a score that isn’t insistent but understated. The offbeat-ness is something Director Sandeep Shyam even attempts a Mani Ratnam-ish mirror scene!
