Sudani from Nigeria is a warm, gently comic drama set in a small Kerala town where a Nigerian footballer, Sudani, signs with a local club and stays with a gracious hotelier. Through patient humor, subtle miscommunications and acts of hospitality, the community learns to see beyond borders. As friendships grow between players, staff and locals, the film celebrates human connection, dignity, and the quiet power of kindness across cultures. Its restrained storytelling, natural performances, and humane observations earned widespread praise.
