## Weekend Projections and Competition

Industry analysts predict *Sarvam Maya* will dominate Kerala screens during the lucrative Christmas-New Year period. Malayalam films traditionally perform well during this festive window, and positive word-of-mouth should sustain momentum. However, the film faces competition from holdover releases including Dileep’s *Bha Bha Bha* and Mammootty’s *Kalamkaval*, while Mohanlal’s *Vrusshabha* struggled at the box office despite releasing on the same day.
