Aadujeevitham Kerala Box Office Collection: Prithviraj Movie Breaks Seven-Year-Old Baahubali 2 Record

Aadujeevitham Box Office Collection: "Aadujeevitham (The Goat Life)" is a Malayalam survival drama film crafted by Blessy, who also served as co-producer. The project is a joint effort between Indian and American production companies. The film debuted in theatres on March 28, 2024, offering audiences an engaging and memorable cinematic experience.

"Aadujeevitham" is based on Benyamin's acclaimed 2008 Malayalam novel of the same name, which draws from true events. The film features Prithviraj Sukumaran as Najeeb, a Malayali migrant worker who becomes trapped in servitude as a goat herder on an isolated farm in Saudi Arabia.

The film's journey started in 2009 when Blessy decided to adapt "Aadujeevitham" after reading the novel in 2008. That year, Prithviraj was cast in the lead role, and discussions with Benyamin led to the development of the screenplay by 2009. However, financial challenges caused significant delays. Blessy spent years searching for a producer and finally succeeded in 2015, enabling the project to progress. Jimmy Jean-Louis and Steven Adams joined Blessy as producers, while A. R. Rahman was brought on board to compose the film's original score and songs.

Filming took place in six phases from March 2018 to July 2022, spanning the deserts of Wadi Rum in Jordan, the Sahara in Algeria, and locations in Kerala, India. The crew experienced a 70-day delay in the Jordanian desert between March and May 2020 due to COVID-19 restrictions. Eventually, they were evacuated back to India under the Indian government's Vande Bharat Mission. Filming concluded on July 14, 2022.
