Sarvam Maya released worldwide on 25 December 2025 in theatres, coinciding with Christmas. The film received critical acclaim with praise for the performances (particularly of Nivin Pauly and Riya Shibu), direction, music, pacing, execution, story, humour, cinematography, screenplay, and light-heartedness.
