Featured reviews
Sudani From Nigeria 's titular character has already become a media sensation and for the right reasons. Sudani from Nigeria has produced a small and joyful movie where the actors and crew have given their lot.
A convincing array of themes, along with the idea of not compensating scenes for a female character along the lead , make Sudani a great watch.
Sudani's major success primarily lies in the film's power to touch the viewers emotionally. The female characters take the spotlight in this matter along with a stand out performance from Soubin Shahir. The thinly written characters that hangs out with Soubin makes this film feel like a closed affair. But then again, not many scenes are compensated for that. The slow development and a beautifully shot football sequences make Sudani a must, must watch for football fans.
In short, Sudani From Nigeria has all the factors for a major hit. With the right amount of marketing and reach, Sudani's cast and crew deserves a warm and exciting applauds.

I keep coming back to this movie in the hope to have some of the goodness in the movie rub off on me. So many loving and genuine people. So many beautiful and heartwarming moments.
Characterization of each of the characters in the movie has been excellent. There is depth to every single character you see on the screen. No one appears on the screen, "just to say that dialogue".
Casting has been perfect. Everyone has acted very very well. Costumes and the general look of everyone in the movie has been very very convincing.
Soubin has done an excellent job and is fast becoming my favorite actor in current times.
Rex Vijayan has done awesome work in not only the songs, but also in the background score. As the end credits come on, the background score takes a life of it's own.
Direction has been excellent. There is a genuineness to the presentation. You get the feeling that you are actually in the village and are seeing all the incidents directly in person.
Script has been kept very close to reality. It does attempt crescendos of various levels and have been largely successful.
Looking forward to Zachariya's next!

Initially, I misunderstood sudani from Nigeria as a cheap comedy film trying to cash on soubin's funny image due to which I was not even bothered to see its trailer but I was terribly wrong when I heard its critical acclaim from all over. I couldn't see it in theatres so I saw it when it released digitally. And I tell you that its the best malayalam movie of the year.
It narrates the story of Majeed(soubin) who is the manager of a football team in malapurram district and its star player is Samuel(Samuel abiola Robinson), a Nigerian player. After Samuel suffers a serious injury, circumstances lead majeed to make Samuel stay it his house for bed rest under the care of his mother and her neighbor friend. Rest of the film is how Samuel presence brings a change in majeeds life and how majeed helps samuel in the end.
What makes this film a masterpiece are its actors performances(most of them are newcomers except soubin), situational humour, few heart touching moments and the culture of Malabar. After parava and mayanadhi, soubin once again proves his brilliance as an actor. He must not stick to only comedy sidekick roles. Samuel's smile and innocence steal your hearts. Late ktc abdulla gives a touching performance as the step father. Special mention to those lovable ummas.
Finally sudani from Nigeria is a best feel good film of the year and my personal favorite.
Just loved each elements of this movie the story, the love and concern for people doesn't have to be ur own country men or religion, and the passion of football, shobin hats off to u man this is called a gem in direction
Malayalam industry in no new in making magical movies... This is one masterpiece that defines the love of humanity beyond nationality and race... Appreciate the director, actors, technicians, script writer and most importantly audience for encouraging these kind of films...
