Prithviraj Sukumaran’s highly acclaimed film Aadujeevitham, also known as The GOAT Life, is set to debut exclusively on Netflix on July 19, following its successful theatrical run on March 28, 2024.

Based on Benyamin’s novel and inspired by true events, Aadujeevitham tells the harrowing story of Najeeb Muhammed, an Indian migrant worker in Saudi Arabia. His quest for a better life turns into a nightmarish ordeal when he becomes stranded in the desert, forced into a life of servitude and exploitation. The film shines a light on the harsh realities faced by migrant workers and highlights the enduring resilience of the human spirit.
The film has garnered significant praise for its gripping narrative and powerful performances. It explores profound themes of survival, exploitation, and the relentless pursuit of freedom, resonating deeply with audiences worldwide. Netflix’s announcement of the film’s digital release has generated considerable excitement among viewers, eager to experience the film’s impactful story on the streaming platform.
In a recent Instagram post, Netflix revealed the film’s release date, stating, “Pradheekshayum porattavum niranja Najeebinde jeevitha katha. #Aadujeevitham is coming to Netflix on 19th July in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Hindi! #AadujeevithamOnNetflix.” This announcement has further fueled anticipation for the film’s OTT debut.
Najeeb Muhammed, the real-life inspiration for the film, shared his emotional journey during an interview. Despite personal grief, including the recent loss of his infant grandson, Najeeb expressed his hope that Aadujeevitham would touch audiences and drive home its powerful message. He acknowledged the support of his family, who encouraged him to attend the film’s screening despite his personal challenges. Najeeb’s heartfelt wish is for the film’s success and for as many people as possible to experience its profound impact.
Prithviraj Sukumaran, known for his versatile acting skills, continues to build on his impressive career with several upcoming projects. His recent works include Kaaliyan and Metro Gauge 1904. His last film, Guruvayoor Ambalanadayil, directed by Vipin Das, received mixed reviews, with some critics noting a lack of engaging storyline development post-intermission.
As Aadujeevitham prepares to make its digital debut, it is poised to reach an even wider audience, allowing viewers to witness the gripping tale of Najeeb Muhammed and the extraordinary performances of its cast. The film’s availability on Netflix will undoubtedly bring its impactful story to a global audience, continuing the conversation about migrant workers’ struggles and triumphs.
