Najeeb departs for the Gulf in an attempt to give his family in Kerala a better life, but he becomes caught up in the harsh reality of employment here.

In Aadujeevitham, you don't see the superstar Prithviraj. Because the real Najeeb was present for the film's promotional events, it is possible to observe how authentically the actor portrayed the character the story is based on.

Blessy's film, which is based on Benyamin's book, presents a nearly dystopian vision of life for migrants in the Middle East. Najeeb pledges his assets as collateral to obtain a Gulf visa. In the multi-layered tale, we witness Najeeb departing from a lush Kerala with the intention of giving his family better prospects. However, when he and his friend Hakim land in Saudi Arabia, they are unintentionally brought to several desert locations to herd goats by the wrong Arab sponsor.

The harsh and brutal reality of the desert, where Najeeb lives a tortured existence with hardly enough food or water to meet his basic requirements, are brilliantly contrasted with life in Kerala in the first part of the book. It appears that the animals exhibit more kindness than their owners. In the hopes of better endeavors, your heart goes out to the guy and the tragedy that, unfortunately, his life has become.

As one terrible day after another passes, Najeeb unexpectedly runs across Hakim once more, and there is a glimmer of hope that they might be able to flee with the assistance of an African laborer named Ibrahim Qadri who appears to be familiar with the area. Will they be able to escape unscathed from the remaining events? Nevertheless, the story drags in the second half, and the director's penchant for gimmicks detracts from the otherwise excellent narrative.

There isn't much to say about Prithviraj other than the fact that he embodies the role and does an outstanding job portraying Najeeb, who is hopelessly confused in this strange land. Aside from the amazing physical makeover, he plays the character with the perfect balance of innocence and vulnerability.
 

The film has the impression of being a masterpiece thanks to Sunil KS and KU Mohanan's cinematography. Their view of the barren desert heightens the story's emotional impact. Social media is already buzzing with the soulful music of AR Rahman.
Having said all of this, two recent great hits in Malayalam cinema, Manjummel Boys and Premalu, have a minor lack of emotional impact.
