Aadujeevitham

Directed by Blessy, the film is an adaptation of the Malayalam best-selling novel Aadujeevitham, penned by acclaimed writer Benyamin. The novel, based on real-life events was a bestseller in Kerala. It has been translated into many languages, including Tamil, and has gained a broad readership.

With the movie witnessing a grand release in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu and Kannada in addition to Malayalam waiting for the verdict . The state has always accorded a warm reception to movies adapted from novels for the simple reason that it kindles the curiosity of people, especially the 'readers,' who would be eager to see how different the celluloid version is from the imageries reading has created in their mind's eye.

The expectations for Aadujeevitham are soaring as its music is scored by AR Rahman. Also, the sound design has been pulled off by  Academy Award winner Resul Pookutty along with Vijay Kumar.

Beautiful BGM, hearttouching songs.

പെരിയോനെ എൻ റഹ്മാനേ

പെരിയോനെ റഹീം

അങ്ങകലെ അങ്ങകലെ 

മണ്ണിൽ പുതുമഴ വീഴണുണ്ടേ 

മണ്ണിൽ പുതുമഴ വീഴണുണ്ടേ 

അങ്ങകലെ അങ്ങകലെ 

മണ്ണിൽ പുതുമഴ വീഴണുണ്ടേ 

മണ്ണിൽ പുതുമഴ വീഴണുണ്ടേ 

Amazing Jitin and A.R. Rahman

This is just one song, other songs too are amazing.  But this gives me a feel that Malaree gave on release of Premam. 

Netizens were quick enough to draw parallels between the shots and angles to Dhanush starrer Maryan. Interestingly, Maryan do have some very similar shots too, but the movie is said to be based on a news paper article of three fishermen who faced similar issue while returning from Sudan. 

On viewing the movie many have commented that their father/grandfather had gone through similar phase.  The book is kept for sale outside some theaters too.

Wishing the makers all the very best and praying that this gets even the Oscar. Production companies were Visual Romance Image Makers, Jet Media Production, Alta Global Media, am sure they will not regret. 

Cast included Prithviraj Sukumaran as Najeeb Mohammed, Amala Paul as Sainu, Najeeb's wife, Jimmy Jean-Louis as Ibrahim Khadiri, Shobha Mohan as Ummah, Najeeb's mother, KR Gokul as Hakeem, Talib Al Balushi as Khafeel, Rik Aby as Jasser, Nazer Karutheni as Kunjikka. KR Gokul as Hakeem is the boy who grew up with the film, from 17 years to 24 years.

Right time of release, with Easter/Good friday and the look of Jesus, Ramzan fasting time and finally the long holidays.
