About ‘Aadujeevitham’
‘Aadujeevitham’ or ‘The Goat Life’ is based on Benjamin's best-selling Malayalam book "Aadujeevitham" and takes place in the early 1990s and follows the actual tale of Najeeb, a young man from Kerala who leaves his home in pursuit of greater opportunities overseas. This book is a bestseller in Malayalam and has been translated into twelve languages, some of which are not even spoken by native speakers of the language.
