The Goat Life has made a global roar, breaking records across territories and countries worldwide, with critics and audiences hailing the cinematic masterpiece alike! From superstar Prithviraj Sukumaran’s ‘career-best performance’ to National Award-winning director Blessy’s ‘best-ever yet’ film, The Goat Life has been immensely applauded and has taken the theatres by storm. The greatest-ever survival adventure film has been declared a blockbuster hit with a solid run in over 1720 screens globally. Achieving a great milestone, The Goat Life has crossed the Rs. 100 crore mark at the worldwide box office within 9 days of its release. Among many other records, it has also broken the GCC record for the lifetime collections of any Malayalam film with just UAE.
Even in its second week, the bookings for the film on booking apps are the highest for any film in India, surpassing successful films like Crew and Tillu Square, as well as the much-awaited Vijay Devarakonda starrer, Family Star. This trend shows that the movie still has a long way to go before slowing down.
Talking about the success of the film, director Blessy said, “The entire team of the film has put in over a decade of their hard work and blood, sweat, and tears into making this dream a reality. The film has stayed with me for over sixteen years and it is a blessing to see it finally being out in the world and being accepted so wholeheartedly by audiences worldwide. We are ecstatic and grateful for the response the movie is receiving, and we hope that it continues to cross borders and that this real-life story can reach as many people as possible.”
Produced by Visual Romance, The Goat Life also features Hollywood actor Jimmy Jean-Louis, Indian actors like Amala Paul and K.R. Gokul, along with renowned Arab actors such as Talib al Balushi and Rik Aby in pivotal roles. The film’s music direction and sound design are helmed by Academy Award winners A.R. Rahman and Resul Pookutty, respectively. The stunning visuals of the film have been shot by Sunil KS, and they have been edited by A. Sreekar Prasad. Being shot in multiple countries around the world, the film marks the biggest-ever venture in the Malayalam film industry, setting new benchmarks in production standards, storytelling, and acting prowess. With exemplary performances and a soul-stirring background score, the film makes for a larger-than-life theatrical experience.
