Film Details and Creative Team
Sarvam Maya is directed by the talented Akhil Sathyan, who has skillfully brought this unique story to life. The film boasts a stellar cast that includes Nivin Pauly, Aju Varghese, Riya Shibu, Preity Mukhundhan, and Janardhanan in pivotal roles.
The narrative centers around Prabhendu, a priest who encounters an unconventional ghost, weaving together elements of fantasy and comedy that have resonated deeply with viewers across different age groups.
Box Office Success and Critical Acclaim
Since its theatrical release, Sarvam Maya has achieved remarkable commercial success, with worldwide box office collections approaching the impressive milestone of Rs 150 crore, according to industry tracker Sacnilk. This financial achievement underscores the film's widespread popularity and strong audience connection.
Critically, the film has received positive reviews, with Times of India awarding it a rating of 3.5 stars. The review praised the film's indulgent and lingering quality, noting its ability to capture the essence of Malayali life through humor and underlying emotions.
The critique further elaborated, "Sarvam Maya is indulgent and lingering. There might, after all, be an Anthikad genre of films in Malayalam—films that Malayalis feel, instinctively grasp, and recognise for their humour and underlying emotions, all unfolding at that slow, charming pace of everyday life."
It continued, "These films take you to wide paddy fields, temple ponds, tharavadus, and villages; to gentle emotions, familial love, and human follies. They grab your soul and leave you feeling wholesome. And they seem self-aware."
Streaming Platform and Release Schedule
The makers have confirmed that Sarvam Maya will begin streaming exclusively on Jio Hotstar starting January 30, 2026. This digital release will allow viewers who missed the theatrical experience or wish to rewatch the film to enjoy it from the comfort of their homes.
As the film transitions from cinema halls to streaming platforms, it continues to demonstrate the evolving landscape of film distribution and consumption in India, particularly for regional cinema that achieves both critical and commercial success.
