Sarvam Maya Plot: A Blend of Faith,
Humour and Fantasy
The film revolves around Prabhendu, an atheist born into a traditional family of Hindu priests. Having distanced himself from religious practices, he tries to make ends meet as a musician but struggles financially. In contrast, his father and brother enjoy success as well-known priests, even travelling abroad to perform rituals.
When Prabhendu returns to his village in Palakkad, he teams up with his cousin Roopesh, a local priest. Despite not believing in religious customs, Prabhendu participates in ceremonies purely for monetary reasons. His life takes an unexpected turn when he encounters a ghost visible only to him. The spirit, who has no memory of her past, calls herself Delulu, a Gen-Z ghost unaware of her origins. As chaos unfolds, an endearing bond develops between the two, prompting Prabhendu to uncover Delulu’s true story.
