National Awards: Prithiviraj Sukumaran Fans ANGRY After The Goat Life's Snub, Say 'What A Joke'
Prithiviraj Sukumaran fans are furious that Aadujeevitham: The Goat Life was snubbed at the 71st National Film Awards. The Awards were announced on August 1, and while films like Parking, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, Animal, Jawan and The Kerala Story secured multiple wins, The Goat Life wasn't awarded in any category.
Fans of Prithviraj Sukumaran are angry and have taken to social media to express their hot takes. One person wrote on Reddit, 'How did Shah Rukh Khan and Kerala Story win over The Goat Life and Prithviraj? National Awards are a joke🤡." Another added, 'Connections, my dear, and of course, networking!"
Someone else wrote, 'Kerala Story won the award for cinematography over Goatlife/SSE. The standards of the National Film Awards are going down the drain." Another added, 'Best cinematography in the same time as Aadujeevitham, Viduthalai 1, Three of Us, Dasara, Jigarthanda Double X, Leo, Jawan, Jailer, Salaar, Tiger 3, SSE, Ponniyin Selvan 2, Fighter… quite a decision."
One fan mentioned, 'Man, this film and Prithviraj deserve this award. What an amazing performance by Prithviraj." Another added, 'The awards don't deserve Prithviraj. We love you, hero." Another wrote, 'Seriously…this guy was soo good. He truly deserved it😔." One comment read, 'Not just acting but the cinematography, I mean the visuals of this movie are truly amazing." One fan wrote, 'Wow, what a joke!"
Why Didn't The Goat Life Win A National Award?
While some noted that The Goat Life might get a nomination for the 2024 awards due to the film's release in March that year, others pointed out that the makers had reportedly applied for a censorship certificate in late 2023. To be eligible for consideration, a film should be certified by the Central Board of Film Certification between January 1 and December 31.
While some reports claim that the film received its certification only in January 2024, making it ineligible for the 71st National Film Awards, others note that the film had been certified on December 31, 2023. Meanwhile, the film's makers and cast are yet to react to fans' posts.
The Goat Life, directed by Blessy and starring Prithviraj Sukumaran, is a visually arresting and emotionally wrenching survival drama based on the bestselling Malayalam novel Aadujeevitham by Benyamin. The film recounts the real-life ordeal of Najeeb, a Malayali migrant worker who is forced into slavery in the deserts of Saudi Arabia. The narrative follows Najeeb's journey from his humble village in Kerala to the Middle East in search of a better life. What begins as hope and ambition quickly descends into a nightmare when he is taken to a remote goat farm and stripped of all freedom.

Triptii Dimri's Dhadak 2 Press Tour Was A Masterclass In Chic Fashion
Last Updated: Triptii Dimri's Dhadak 2 press looks showed range, refinement, and a growing confidence in her personal style Triptii Dimri is having quite the fashion moment. As Dhadak 2 hits theatres today, the actress has been serving back-to-back sartorial wins while promoting the film alongside Siddhant Chaturvedi. From structured tailoring to playful textures, each outfit offered something different and together, they painted a picture of an actress confidently stepping into her leading-lady era. Let's decode three standout looks from her promotional wardrobe: Double Denim, Done Right In one of her most striking appearances, Triptii embraced a head-to-toe denim ensemble with effortless ease. The structured dress featured a cinched bodice and a flared skirt, stitched with white topstitching that brought a graphic, elevated feel to the indigo hue. The collared neckline came embroidered, adding a dash of softness to the look. Styled with small hoop earrings, black sunglasses, and navy-blue embellished heels, this outfit balanced edge and elegance in equal parts. Dramatic Tailoring with a Vintage Twist For a formal event, Triptii turned to Italian label Antonio Marras, opting for a black blazer and checkered co-ord set. The outfit was all about bold silhouettes think puffed sleeves, sharply tailored shoulders, and a cinched waistline that gave her frame definition. A crisp white blouse with a statement bow peeked through, while her dual-tiered plaid skirt added dimension pencil-cut on top, flared at the hem. It was power dressing with a theatrical flair. Ivory 'Corpcore' with a Glamorous Edge At the Dhadak 2 trailer launch, Triptii channelled modern boss energy in an ivory blazer and wide-legged pants. The deep V-neck blazer featured lapel collars, padded shoulders, and clean lines, paired with voluminous pleated trousers that pooled dramatically at the floor. Minimal yet commanding, this look was equal parts high fashion and workwear chic, a nod to the rising 'corpcore' trend, executed with finesse. From ultra-polished tailoring to playful feminine twists, Triptii Dimri's Dhadak 2 press looks showed range, refinement, and a growing confidence in her personal style. If this is how she dresses for a film tour, we can't wait to see what she brings to the red carpet next. Which look is your favourite from the promotional trail?
