Recently released Malayalam film, The Goat Life also titled Aadu Jeevitham stunned everyone with its making and content. It stars Prithviraj Sukumaran in the lead role and is directed by Blessy. The film is a survival thriller based on a real-life incident. However, one more film lies closely to this plot and theme i.e., Maryan starring Dhanush which released in Telugu as well.
Maryan directed by Bharat Bala was also inspired by the novel Aadu Jeevitham. Dhanush plays the role of a fisherman in the film who gets trapped in Sudan. The director took some more real-life incidents and made the film. However, The Goat Life is an official adaptation of the novel, Aadu Jeevitham. The Goat Life’s pre-production took so many years and was planned even before the release of Maryan. Interestingly, A. R. Rahman who was part of Maryan scored the music for The Goat Life as well.
Maryan was more concentrated on the love story between the lead pair whereas The Goat Life seems to focus on survival. Dhanush gave one of the best performances of his career in Maryan along with the lead actress Parvathy Thiruvothu. Prithviraj is also getting phenomenal praise for his performance in the film. Interstingly, The Goat Life having similarities with Maryan is performing well in Tamil Nadu. It has already grossed 5 crores there and may even touch the 10 crore mark.
