Sudha is good at her craft, she infuses realism into the film. It is inspired from many true events existing in the field of sports in our country.

This film releases simultaneously in Hindi and Tamil (Irudhi Suttru). Its life - slow and steady like the beat of the heart.Saala Khadoos, a film by Sudha Kongara, explores the Mentor-Mentee relationship and the background chosen to share the story is that of boxing. The makers' repeated warning that there is no twist of suspense is very much true. Jeethu Joseph has once again come up with a good cinema. One to watch out for is Hareesh Peraady's performance as Josutty's father. Performances by all the actors are brilliant. Anil Johnson's music is also apt for the story. Ravichandran's visuals are soulful be it the rustic farmer's life or the sleek New Zealand life. The script by Ratesh Varma, with Jayalal's story is very much realistic.

But they are a welcome interlude in the narrative. The first half has a lot many instances which provide laughter. Though there is a lot of emotions running all over the place, and occasional overload of grief, the narration has been kept undramatic and simple. The highs and lows of Josutty's life is what the movie is all about. Josutty's immigration to New Zealand with Rose and his transformation from a farmer to an NRI is all depicted well. And because of some family problems he is forced to marry a divorcee named Rose who is a nurse. Josutty now has a lot of problems and burdens to contend with on a daily basis. A few incidents happen which forrces Jesse away from Josutty. He falls in love with his next door neighbor and childhood friend Jessie, played by Rachana Narayanankutty. Josutty is a simple farmer who leads a contended life with his father Joseph and mother Shoshamma. 'Life of Josutty' traverses through myriad hues of human emotions. But Jeethu Joseph has beautifully made an ordinary life quite interesting. Taking such a life into focus and making a cinema on it may not be always entertaining. Ordinary lives can appear undramatic at the best of times.
