Kemi Adetiba's THE WEDDING PARTY smashes the boxoffice



Kemi Adetiba's The Wedding Party just released last month December 2016 has become the highest grossing Nollywood movie with N200,000,000 so far. And the film production budget was only N60 million.
The movie erased the box office records of AY's "A Trip To Jamaica" that has made N168 million so far and "30 Days in Atlanta" that made more than N137 million.

Plot

The Wedding party follows the shenanigans that go on during the planning of a wedding in Nigeria. Dunni a 24 year old art gallery owner and only daughter of her parents, Engineer Bamidele and Mrs Tinuade Coker, is about to marry the love of her life, IT entrepreneur Dozie the handsome son of Felix and Obianuju Onwuka. The couple took a vow of chastity and are looking forward to a ground -breaking first night together as a married couple. Between matchmaking attempts on the bridal train, a wedding planner on a mission to succeed, the unruly behaviour of some ‘village’ guests much to Tinuade’s horror, Dunni's uncertainty about her new husband's faithfulness during the time of their courtship, amidst colourful aso-ebi, eclectic music, small chops, and souvenir drama, we begin to wonder whether Dunni and Dozie will get through their wedding reception unscathed.

I have not seen the movie but it seems it has captivated the hearts of many youths in the country and i can forecast that it will keep running strong till the valentine's love season simply because it is overwhelming.

Hats of to MR BANKOLE WELLINGTON(i heard he owned the movie and won over the audience with his gallant interpretation of the script).
