Vida de Cabra

The movie is a tributary interpretation to the novel. The way the story sculpting from the start was awesome. Prithiraj Sukumaran gave his life's work with this one. Also the visuals and cinematography was top notch..! Kudos to the entire team of The Goat Life...!! AR Rahman's music is another plus point. The placement of the songs are really going along with the plot.

Although Cast's performance in the movie was one step ahead than other positive aspects. Even amala paul, her screentime is very low but she also gave her best for the movie. There are certain moments in the film which are hard to watch. Overall the movie worth a Watch...!!

The film's narrative is gripping, capturing the essence of Najeeb's journey in the harsh desert landscape, where he is forced to live as a shepherd under inhumane conditions. The screenplay, also penned by Blessy, stays true to the essence of the novel, conveying the agony and hope of Najeeb with an unflinching honesty. The dialogues are sparse but powerful, resonating deeply with the audience and evoking a wide range of emotions.

Aadujeevitham's cinematography is another highlight, with the expansive deserts and harsh environments beautifully captured by the lens. The film's visual storytelling complements its narrative, making the audience feel the isolation and desolation that Najeeb experiences. The use of natural light and the sweeping shots of the desert landscape create a hauntingly beautiful backdrop that enhances the story's emotional impact.

The music and background score by A. R. Rahman add an additional layer of depth to the film, subtly underscoring the narrative's highs and lows. Rahman's compositions are evocative and poignant, perfectly aligning with the film's tone and enhancing the overall viewing experience.

This story is totally based on Real Life and not for faint hearted. The elements used in this entire cinema is totally believable and close to reality of Gulf-Countries Slavery Lives. One of my close one also faced same kind of situations over there and fortunately escaped from that misery but it's sad to see that in this 21st century as well some peoples are going there in search of Good Life and Ended up after becoming a Slave of some Sheikhs'. A beautiful movie that everyone should go for..

People are calling it overhyped! But let me clear you that you must have patience to watch it completely because the duration of this movie is around 3hrs with extremely slow level of Screenplay. Although Cinematography is quite rich and extremely beautiful still it could have been 20-25Min Short for sure. The survival instincts are shown very clearly and the way the Director paid attentions to minute details are praise worthy. Storyline is extremely simple and interesting to feel. The Best part of this movie is Leading Actor's Performance. I guess 90% of the time Camera focused on the main character and yeah our Hero nailed his role brilliantly. Music was also extremely good as A. R Rehman was associated with it's music.

Overall a Good movie and not for Family audiences as it have a love making scene in the movie and a total naked body of our leading character is shown in very details. And of course those who are soft-hearted shouldn't go for it.. From my side it will be 7 Out of 10 Stars for it..

From the shores of Kerala, India, The Goat Life (or Aadujeevitham in Malayalam) is a breathtaking survival story (that transcends language and geography) about an Indian man who is forced to work as a goat herder in a Saudi desert against his will. Actor Prithviraj Sukumaran underwent an arduous transformation for this role, and his performance is amplified by stunning visuals and a haunting score. Director Blessy's tale is an exploration of hope and resilience that lingers long after the credits roll. I would highly recommend Aadujeevitham to witness Prithviraj's skilful acting and how immersive the world is.

"Aadujeevitham," which translates to "The Goat Life," is a Malayalam film based on the award-winning novel of the same name by Benyamin. It follows Najeeb, a young man from Kerala who is lured by the promise of a better life abroad. However, his dreams turn into a nightmare when he ends up trapped in forced labor at a remote goat farm in the Middle East. The film, directed by Blessy, is a passion project that took nearly 16 years to complete. Starring Prithviraj Sukumaran in the lead role, "Aadujeevitham" is a powerful story of resilience, longing for home, and the fight for survival in desperate circumstances. It is based on true events and is considered a thought-provoking social commentary. The film is an outstanding portrayal of the dark incidents that happened in the life of a person from Kerala and is well-crafted to show 100% reality and truth. Some people may find it uncomfortable to accept this reality, but their discomfort will not change the truth. It is an Oscar-worthy movie. For those who are struggling to accept it, keep crying. My rating: 10/10. Outstanding film.
