NAMASTE WAHALA
1. The fusion of the Indian and Nigerian culture to make a movie is so remarkable. Harmony is fostered.
2. I think both the Nigerian and Indian cultures are very well expressed.
3. The plot is quite nice, great content.
4. The cinematography does well in giving nice scenes.
1. The scene which shows how the lead casts, Raj and Didi meet each other looks unreal, it should have been better than that.
A nice movie to see. If you love experiencing culture diversity, you'll surely like this.
Namaste Wahala (transl. Hello trouble) is a 2020 Nigerian cross-cultural romantic comedy film produced, written and directed by Hamisha Daryani Ahuja on her directorial debut. The film stars Ini Dima-Okojie and Ruslaan Mumtaz in the lead roles. This film was hailed as the first major collaboration between Bollywood and Nollywood which are two of the biggest film industries in the world.The film is based on a romantic relationship between an Indian boy and a Nigerian girl despite coming from completely different backgrounds with cultural differences.
A Hamisha Daryani Ahuja movie produced by Forever 7 Entertainment. A piece showing the fusion of two major national movie industries, Nollywood and Bollywood.
Considering it as a first major Nollywood-Bollywood piece,it really does pass the mark of content originality.
Having a star studded cast, it really does meet the high expectation expected of it. Every actor in it really does justice to his or her role
The plot is also very nice, however there are some reservations about some particular scenes. It’s also beautiful to see the fusion of a Nigerian slang “wahala” and Indian word “Namaste” being fused together to form the title.
The cinematography is nothing short of expectation, great motion picture I must say.
Great screenplay as well. The musicals do well to add that Bollywood flavor.
Star performer – Richard Mofe-Damijo
As much as it’d be fair and nice enough to give everyone in this an A+ in their respective roles because they all delivered their roles professionally, however, one actor still stands out in the midst of this excellence, and that’s Richard Mofe-Damijo(RMD). He really brought life to every scene switching from a caring father to a controlling father.
Can do better performer– nil
