For all the bumps however, Aadujeevitham is a film worth experiencing, especially on the big screen. There is such ambition and artistry in it. I recommend that you catch the original Malayalam with subtitles.

Najeeb's story should have been an emotionally more moving one, it instead seems only a strange one.

The filmmakers in this case have confronted an immense injustice and tragedy of our time head-on and deserve full credit.

Wide-screen compositions and top-angle shots give a very real sense of Najeeb’s loneliness.
