Director Akhil Sathyan’s supernatural comedy ‘Sarvam Maya’ has officially emerged as one of Malayalam cinema’s biggest commercial successes, crossing the coveted ₹100 crore mark at the global box office within just 10 days of its release.

The achievement marks a career-defining milestone for Nivin Pauly, as the film becomes the first in his career to enter the elite ₹100 crore club worldwide.

According to trade estimates, ‘Sarvam Maya’ has grossed approximately ₹53 crore from the Indian box office, while overseas markets have contributed an impressive ₹47 crore-plus.

This takes the film’s worldwide cumulative total beyond ₹100 crore — an extraordinary feat achieved at breakneck speed. With this, the film has also become the fifth fastest Malayalam movie of all time to hit the century mark, highlighting its phenomenal audience reception across markets.

What sets ‘Sarvam Maya’ apart is its successful blend of supernatural elements, humour and emotional depth, wrapped in a narrative that appeals equally to family audiences and younger viewers. Strong word-of-mouth, repeat viewership, and packed weekend shows have ensured that the film maintains momentum well into its second week.

For Pauly, the success of ‘Sarvam Maya’ signals a major turning point. While the actor has long been celebrated for his versatility and critically acclaimed performances, a global ₹100 crore blockbuster had remained elusive. The film now places him firmly among the league of Malayalam stars who have delivered a worldwide century hit.

Sathyan, who had earlier drawn attention for his subtle storytelling, has delivered his biggest commercial triumph to date with ‘Sarvam Maya’. Trade analysts credit the film’s crisp screenplay, engaging performances, visually rich supernatural backdrop and chart-topping music for its wide appeal, particularly in overseas territories such as the Gulf, North America, and Europe.

With theatres continuing to report strong occupancy and distributors extending the film’s theatrical run, ‘Sarvam Maya’ shows no signs of slowing down. Industry trackers predict that if the current trend holds, the film could comfortably push beyond the ₹120–₹130 crore mark in the coming days.

As Malayalam cinema continues its impressive global run, ‘Sarvam Maya’ stands tall as another example of how content-driven regional films can achieve massive commercial success while entertaining audiences across borders.
