I have said it and i wouldnt stop saying it,the Nigerian film industry also known as Nollywood is growing in leaps and bounds.Inalé is the latest baby from Nollywood and it was directed by Jeta Amata(and this guy has never fallen short of producing very sensible movies).
Inalé is based on a folktale that has been told by the Idoma people of Benue state over the ages. As the story goes, the most beautiful girl who happens to be the princess of Idoma land faces various trials and tribulations.
The movie is features Nigerian/British actress Caroline Chikezie in the lead role,who plays Princess Inalé, the daughter of the great King Oche(Dede Mabiaku) of the Idoma people in Idomaland, Nigeria. Her beloved Odeh(Hakeem Kae-Kazim), must win their customary wrestling tournament to take Inalé’s hand in marriage,the villagers had gathered for the big ceremony to only indulge the presence of a masked stranger’s request that challenges not only the tradition of the village law, the future of the kingdom but the strength of Odeh and Inalé’s true love.
Other stars in the movie include Ini Edo-Ehiagwina, Keppy Ekpenyong,Mbong Amata, Nse Ikpe Etim and Omawumi.Inalé is the first movie musical i hear that was shot in celluloid. The movie is set to premiere on the 22nd of October at Genesis Deluxe Cinemas in Lagos and on the 28th of October at Silverbird Cinemas in Abuja.
