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.

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.

Quite a lot of the hard work does pay off. Yet, it leaves one with the wish that the script had enough to break the monotony that sets in at some points.
