The music is needlessly epic for even mundane scenes. Buh-bang! A cow walks the road. Buh-bang! A cycle passes by. You get the idea. A long shot of the village, coupled with a grand background score, makes you wonder if a tsunami is approaching. Nothing significant ever happens to justify the music. Aalamaram never lives up to its promotion as a horror film. Are the makers trying to take advantage of ghost stories doing well at the box office (Yaamirukka Bayamey, Aranmanai)?
