Movie Review: Thank You For Coming - 3.5/5

# Nivin Pauly's Epic Comeback: How *Sarvam Maya* Proves He's Unstoppable! Imagine a young Hindu priest's life flipping upside down when a quirky spirit crashes into his world—turning doubt into magic, grief into laughter. That's the hook of **Sarvam Maya**, the 2025 Malayalam supernatural comedy that's not just a box office smash, but **Nivin Pauly's triumphant return to stardom**[8][3]. Released worldwide on Christmas Day 2025, *Sarvam Maya*—written and directed by Akhil Sathyan—has crossed the **Rs 100 crore mark globally**, becoming Nivin Pauly's biggest hit ever, surpassing even *Premam*'s lifetime collections[1][4]. This fantasy-horror-comedy blends chills with heartwarming vibes, following atheist musician Prabhendu (Nivin Pauly) who strikes a deal with a friendly ghost named Delulu (Riya Shibu) after a botched exorcism. As they heal each other's unresolved traumas—his from his mother's death, hers from forgotten memories—the film delivers hilarious chemistry with Aju Varghese, emotional depth, and lush Kerala visuals that critics call "a warm embrace" and "irresistible ghost story"[5][7].

Even in its third week, amid new releases, the film's **strong word-of-mouth and repeat viewings** keep theaters buzzing, with India net collections nearing Rs 67 crore despite a day-20 dip to Rs 85 lakhs[1][2]. Praised for Nivin's effortless charm, Riya Shibu's breakout ghostly innocence, and themes of faith, closure, and family bonds, it's the **fourth highest-grossing Malayalam film of 2025**—a benchmark for the industry[3][7]. OTT buzz points to a JioHotstar debut in early February 2026, so catch it in theaters while you can[1][4]! Nivin's comeback feels like nostalgia meets fresh magic—*Sarvam Maya* reminds us why Malayalam cinema rules with heart, humor, and hits.
