Directed by Blessy, this survival drama promises to captivate audiences with its compelling narrative and stellar performances.
Originally titled “Aadujeevitham” in Malayalam, the film is slated for release on March 28th and boasts a stellar ensemble cast including Amala Paul and Jimmy Jean-Louis. With a reported budget of 80 crores, “The Goat Life” represents a significant investment in Mollywood cinema, raising expectations sky-high.

Advance bookings have already surpassed the 2 crore mark in Kerala alone, indicating a strong groundswell of interest among audiences. Overseas, the film has garnered over $200K in pre-sales, setting the stage for a promising opening weekend.
Benefitting from an extended 4-day weekend, courtesy of Good Friday and Sunday holidays, “The Goat Life” is poised to make a splash at the box office. With other Malayalam releases enjoying successful theatrical runs, the Prithviraj Sukumaran starrer is well-positioned to secure prime screen and show counts.
But beyond the numbers, it’s the positive word-of-mouth that will ultimately propel “The Goat Life” to blockbuster status. As audiences flock to theaters, drawn by the allure of an enthralling survival drama, the film has the potential to join the ranks of Malayalam cinema’s elite 100-crore grossers in 2024.
With “Premalu” and “Manjummel Boys” already achieving this milestone, all eyes are now on “The Goat Life” to continue the winning streak. As anticipation reaches fever pitch, Mollywood aficionados eagerly await the unveiling of Prithviraj Sukumaran’s magnum opus, poised to make cinematic history in 2024.
