A Descent into Desolation and the Will to Survive

Blessy's much-anticipated film, Aadujeevitham (The Goat Life), has finally arrived, and it's not for the faint of heart. Based on Benyamin's novel of the same name, the movie takes viewers on a harrowing journey of Najeeb, a Malayali man lured by the promise of a better life in Saudi Arabia, only to find himself trapped in a modern-day form of slavery.


A Story of Broken Dreams and Resilience:


Prithviraj Sukumaran delivers a career-defining performance as Najeeb. We see his dreams of a secure future for his pregnant wife slowly crumble as he's forced into harsh labor, herding goats under the scorching desert sun.

A Technical Masterpiece:
