The Nigerian epic film KING KOSOKO: THE BATTLE FOR LAGOS is inching closer to ₦60 million at the box office, an impressive milestone that will be celebrated with a special Silverbird Reel Talk screening in Lagos on September 25. The movie, distributed by FilmOne Entertainment, delves into the political turmoil surrounding the rise to the Lagos throne of Oba Kosoko, his clash with Akitoye, and the impact of British intervention.
The screening, hosted by Silverbird Television and Rhythm FM at Silverbird Galleria, Victoria Island, features a live conversation with the director, producer, and cast, with lead actor Femi Adebayo attending as a special guest. Tickets, priced at ₦15,000, include the film, refreshments, and a drink. Executive Producer Ayo Ajayi emphasized the significance of the movie's financial success, particularly considering the typically slow months of August and September for cinemas.
The film's director, Adebayo Tijani, directed by him, stars Femi Adebayo, Odunlade Adekola, Tina Mba, and others, exploring themes of succession, power, loyalty, resistance, and colonial intervention. The film, currently screening in select cinemas nationwide, aims to authentically portray a crucial period in Lagos history.
