What you should know about ‘Sarvam Maya’?

‘Sarvam Maya’ tells the story of an aspiring musician who takes to his family business of being a priest to make ends meet after his music troupe lands in a crisis. An exorcism goes haywire, and he ends up meeting an unconventional ghost.




TOI ranked the film 3.5, and the review reads, “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. 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.”

The film earned positive reviews from critics and audiences alike and also emerged as one of the biggest hits in Nivin Pauly’s career in recent times. ‘Sarvam Maya’ is now streaming on Jio Hotstar.Get the latest entertainment updates from the Times of India, along with the latest Hindi movies, upcoming Hindi movies in 2026 , and Telugu movies.”
