What happens in the climax of Sarvam Maya?

In the final thirty minutes of the movie, Delulu professes her love for Prabhendhu as they travel home after meeting Saadhya. He seems shaken, though, as he expresses his feelings for Saadhya. However, as Delulu remembers her past, things quickly shift. When she gives Prabhendu a hug, he feels her memories. With her story acknowledged and understood, she goes serenely after revealing her real name - Maya Mathew.

Prabhendhu later visits Maya's home to meets her mother, portraying himself as her friend. Prabhendhu pauses before responding in the positive when Maya's mother enquires as to whether he is the one Maya loved before her death. Although it is uncertain if this confirmation is real or not, it is evident that the creators intended to provide closure to both Prabhendhu and Maya's mother. He remembers Maya's earlier description of the light breeze as a manifestation of her presence as he leaves the house. Ultimately, Prabhendhu becomes a musician and keeps living life to the fullest.
