Story Line:-
Blessy is the writer, director, and co-producer of the 2024 Malayalam-language survival drama film Aadujeevitham, also known as The Goat Life. The movie is a global co-production that includes American and Indian production companies. Based on the true story of Malayali immigrant laborer Najeeb, it is an adaptation of Benyamin’s 2008 best-selling Malayalam novel Aadujeevitham.
Najeeb Muhammad and Hakim, two Malayali immigrants, travel to Saudi Arabia on visas supplied by their friend Sreekumar in search of a better life. When they get stuck at the airport and don’t know who their employer is, a local Arab approaches them, thinking he is their boss. After a protracted voyage, they split up, with Najeeb being sent to work in a lonely goat herd in the desert.
As they search for food and guidance, their journey becomes dangerous, leading to Hakim’s passing and Najeeb’s near death. Khadiri eventually vanishes as well. Najeeb, left alone in the desert, ultimately finds his way to civilization with the aid of a passing Arab. He discovers a nearby Malayali eatery run by Kunjikka, who treats him and brings him back to health.
But Najeeb’s problems are far from being solved. Due to problems with his own documentation, he is facing imprisonment. While there, he encounters the Khafeel, who departs from him because he is not his authorized sponsor and cannot bring him back.
Critics:-
In Malayalam, aadujeevitham translates to “goat life.” The film opens with two young men who have just arrived in Saudi Arabia and, because of their limited English, are unable to locate the man who was meant to meet them at the airport. They unintentionally consent to travel with a different man, whom they mistakenly believe to be their Khalid (master), and as a result, they are trafficked into slavery.
Don’t pass on this film. 😆😆
#Must watch this Movie. 😆😆 It’s an incredibly Drama & Adventure based film.
