ANIKULAPO - :Saro and Arolake finally resolved their issues in an exclusive chat on KAPTV

[@bafeiles]

Splendid movie no doubt. And in pure Yoruba language!! . Now charting top ten on Netflix platforms in about 42 countries!! What the global success of this movie has reminded us is that an African language is not a barrier to the universal acceptance of a film once it has a good story well told, well performed , with a premium production.

[@gracenmercy1085]

Very Splendid indeed! It was a really Beautiful story. And the cast and crew brought out the GLORY of Nigeria! 🤩🤩🤩

I have watched, re-watched and rewatched. more than five times ANIKULAPO!!! 😔 A sad story of love and betrayal. When a woman loves a man whole heartedly she's ready to go the distance and through hell with him. Saro was destined to be great right from the time he met Awarun but greed, lack of contentment and promiscuity will never make him fulfilled his destiny. Arolake is caring and love Saro whole heartedly. Mehn!! This is love!!! I can't stop watching and re-watching the pawpaw scene and the river scene which shows that Arolake truly cares for Saro. This made me remember how my wife will do exactly the same when were newly married.In fact the voice she used their sounds like hers. I came back to my senses on Monday 3rd October when I watched this movie and made me appreciate my wife the more. When we were watching the pawpaw and river scene together I smiled deeply and she caught me and understand my reason for the smile. I knew that Bro. Kunle Afolayan will never shoot a cheap movie especially seeing all these Yoruba legendary actors and actresses. Kudos to the entire cast and crew also to Netflix. I wonder the millions spent on this movie which involves these big wig actors and actresses. Kudos!!! PLEASE DON'T LET THIS STORY END THIS WAY. WE NEED THE PART TWO.

[@oluwaseyiopadere1310]

I don't think we need a part 2 though...I love the way it ended at Saro's death. Also, the gourd has been destroyed, so what would the story revolve around?

The movie, Anikulapo, is vintage. Seamlessly portrays the Yoruba lifestyle during ancient times.

Great Movie and also an excellent showcase of our culture and language. What made me watch till the end was the storyline. There are great stories to tell in moving pictures. This is why am bewildered by certain Nollywood movies whose Stories make no sense at all. Anikulapo is in its own class. The movie can compete with any super movie in the world. However the movie gave us so many ends that were not wrapped up except it will be a aeries. Please in making it a series do not take away the main characters. I was looking to see a sequel where AKALA power will be with AROLAKE. Or Arolake will conceive I and pass the power to her son. Then, slavery was mentioned a couple of times but we didn't see any sign. Having possessed AKALA power at a point, Saro shouldn't die! Bimbo Ademoye deserves international Award for her role. She won my heart. The movie is so rich with popular Yoruba actors. They all did excellently well. I enjoy watching Fathia and Baba Wände in Traditional costumes, they always kills their roles. The king that doesn't talk ..... that's EPIC! On Saro, I don't think I can forgive him for how he treated AROLAKE. ODALE can be a good title of the movie as well.
