Malayalam actor Nivin Pauly has finally secured a major blockbuster after nearly a decade, marking a significant turnaround in his career. His latest film, Sarvam Maya, released on December 25, 2025, as a Christmas treat for fans, and has emerged as a box-office sensation across Kerala.

The supernatural comedy has grossed over ₹100 crore within just 10 days, firmly re-establishing Nivin Pauly as a bankable star. The film features Riya Shibu in a pivotal role, and her performance has received strong critical acclaim. The narrative largely revolves around her character and Nivin Pauly’s role as an atheist who unexpectedly becomes a priest, leading to a series of engaging and humorous situations.

Nivin Pauly’s performance has also been widely appreciated by critics, playing a key role in the film’s impressive box-office run. With this success, he has once again entered the spotlight alongside contemporaries like Tovino Thomas and Basil Joseph, who currently dominate headlines in the Malayalam film industry.

It is worth noting that Nivin Pauly had struggled for consistency in recent years, with his last major blockbuster being Premam (2015). At the time, many believed he would emerge as a pan-India star, but a series of poor script choices stalled his career momentum. Sarvam Maya, however, marks a strong comeback and restores confidence in his box-office pull.

Encouragingly, Nivin Pauly already has a busy lineup ahead. He is currently working on five upcoming projects, including two Tamil films, signalling a renewed phase in his career. Fans and trade circles alike are hopeful that he continues this successful streak in the coming years.
