Aadujeevitham clears censorship concerns in Bahrain
With the positive reception the film is getting in India, moviegoers in this GCC country—especially Malayalis—cannot wait to see Aadujeevitham on a big screen soon. In Bahrain, advance tickets for the movie are now available.
Except for the UAE, all GCC countries—including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Kuwait—had expressed concerns about censorship. According to sources, the makers plan to apply for censorship certificates in Oman and Qatar on Sunday, March 31. As of yet, there has been no word on when the film will be released in Saudi Arabia. In these other countries, the movie is anticipated to open in theatres the first or second week of April.
GCC’s ban on Benyamin’s Aadujeevitham
Aadujeevitham, which is based on a best-selling book by Benyamin, recounts the true story of a Malayali who falls prey to a dubious plan to enslave people and ends up spending more than three years living as a goatherd in the deserts of Saudi Arabia without even the most basic necessities for survival. It also shows how, in the end, he daringly escapes his captors.
A few years ago, the Arabic translation of Benyamin's novel was banned in two Gulf countries. Benyamin had previously expressed his hope that the countries that had banned the book would change their minds and remove the restrictions. The book was banned in Arabic prior to its release at Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh Book Fair.
