Sudani from Nigeria (2018)
A wonderful movie that touches upon a lot of things
A wonderful movie that touches upon a lot of things, including the universality of life, without really focusing on them. A slice-of-life movie that has all the necessary arcs and ensemble acting without anything, including the music, feeling obvious.
In Indian movies, we often see African actors shown either as drug smugglers or in some other negative characters. But 'Sudani from Nigeria' not only breaks this stereotype, but also tells a heart touching story revolving around an African. The best part is how a story about humanity is told in such simple style.
One other point I loved is how the movie defines heroism. Its the actions and efforts of a man in few circumstances that make him a hero than his looks or buildup. The end will make you emotional yet leaves a smile on your face. This movie adds to new age Malayalam cinema that's telling stories beautifully
PS: Its on Netflix
