The movie to watch this weekend
is Phillipa Abraham’s Basira in London. It opens in all cinemas this
Friday, March 24, 2017, after its premiere at Silverbird Cinemas,
Victoria Island, Lagos on the same day.
The movie shut down London when
it first premiered and sold out six halls in the U.K, with thousands in
attendance. BASIRA in LONDON recorded the highest turn out of audiences
for Nollywood films screened in the U.K. A feat no other Nigerian movie
has been able to catch up with till date. The movie is set to repeat the
same magic in Nigeria starting from this Friday.
The movie, BASIRA in LONDON was
produced and directed by Phillipa Chiedu Abraham, who also starred in
the movie. It tells the story of an African woman (Eniola Badmus) who
relocates to London with great expectations. The culture clash and her
efforts in trying to fit in make this film ‘unmissable’. The movie gives
stamp to the premise, ‘you can take a girl out of Nigeria but you
cannot take Nigeria out of the girl’.
The movie stars Eniola Badmus, Timothy Byrne, Theodora Ibekwe Oyebade, Tolu Yesufu and Destinee Anthony.
Make it a date this weekend for the magic.
