Sudani from Nigeria


Sudani from Nigeria

Majeed, a football manager, recruits three Nigerian footballers for his team. When Samuel, one of the players, is injured, Majeed lets him stay at his house and over time, they develop a close bond.

This sports Drama movie is the directorial debut of Zakariya Muhammed. It is an endearing film with heart warming characters and commendable actors. It is a simple story of a Mallapuram Family and with great portrayal of the passion and love for football in the state.

Sudani from Nigeria is a kind of film that very successfully subverts all identities that one attribute for a film that in first look is a generic comedy sports movie, the kind that we have watched a countless times. And once you watch it, the film is nothing but a simple and grounded depiction of the Malabarian culture

They say guests are treated as Gods when they visit homes in India. This adage perfectly suits this refreshing gem with the some of the most richly drawn characters I have seen in quite some time. The final shot is my favourite in the film.

A movie which portrays the definition of Humanity and everyone should watch it. The climax will touch the hearts of every football fan out there.
