For all the bumps however, Aadujeevitham is a film worth experiencing, especially on the big screen. There is such ambition and artistry in it. I recommend that you catch the original Malayalam with subtitles.

Najeeb's story should have been an emotionally more moving one, it instead seems only a strange one.

Rated: C+

The filmmakers in this case have confronted an immense injustice and tragedy of our time head-on and deserve full credit.

Wide-screen compositions and top-angle shots give a very real sense of Najeeb’s loneliness.

Sukumaran delivers one of career best acts as Najeeb in The Goat Life. Right from his impeccable transformation to his innocent eyes, the actor steals the show in every frame.

Rated: 3.5/5

The Prithviraj Sukumaran film must be watched on the big screen for a wholesome experience; no other actor could have done the role.
