Through vivid storytelling, the narrative captures the essence of the immigrant journey, portraying themes of identity, struggle, and resilience.

 One of the central themes in "Aadujeevitam" is the transformative journey of identity for immigrants.

The protagonist's struggle with cultural assimilation and the longing for a sense of belonging resonates with the experiences of many immigrants worldwide.

The novel and film vividly depict the myriad challenges faced by immigrants as they strive to build a better life abroad. From language barriers to discrimination and exploitation in the workplace, the characters in "Aadujeevitam" confront a range of obstacles that test their resilience and determination. Benyamin's raw portrayal of these struggles serves as a poignant reminder of the harsh realities faced by many immigrants, shedding light on issues of social justice and human rights. Well, I would say my generation is truly blessed because our parents have made everything for us and still me and my generation are back of laziness, But now I can relate to the situation of each and everyone moving from their home country for work and other things.

 Central to the immigrant narrative in "Aadujeevitam" is the theme of sacrifice and its impact on family dynamics.

Their unwavering determination and perseverance in the face of adversity serve as a testament to the indomitable human spirit. Through their triumphs and setbacks, Benyamin offers a nuanced portrayal of the immigrant experience, celebrating the resilience and courage of individuals who dare to dream beyond borders. I have heard a lot of people saying about their experiences working and going abroad, at times I was not able to understand those things but now when I see some of these in and around me I can truly understand how hard it is.  I had a small time spent with a person who had a rough time coming abroad and spending a lot of time and money for their life here. I was not in a good mood when I started my part-time work when I came to the UK, because my mind was not allowing me to do so, but the person who I talked with made things change in me because she has told how they struggled here to move on. Now when I work I can understand and feel that each penny is worth the struggle. I am not a good writer to go deep into the work but I can surely relate it to many things that I see and experience around me now.

 In "Aadujeevitam," Benyamin offers a compelling exploration of the immigrant experience, weaving together themes of identity, struggle, and resilience with masterful storytelling. Through the lens of his characters' journeys, he invites readers and viewers to empathize with the challenges faced by immigrants and to reflect on the universal human quest for belonging and fulfillment. As the world continues to grapple with issues of migration and displacement, "Adujeevitam" stands as a poignant reminder of the enduring strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
