The best-performing non-English movies and shows on Prime Video have been announced.

Here are the top ten titles in languages other than English:

  • My Fault (Culpa Mía, Movie, Spain, June 2023)

  • Gangs of Lagos (Movie, Nigeria, April 2023)
  • Argentina 1985 (Movie, Argentina, October 2022)

Gangs of Lagos, directed by Osiberu, is Prime Video’s first African Original that went directly to streaming upon release.

The crime thriller follows three friends pursuing their aspirations and fate on Isale Eko’s perilous streets. Tobi Bakre stars as Obalola, with Adesua Etomi-Wellington (Gift) and Chike-Ezekpeazu Osebuka (Ify) supporting.

The film brings the spectator into a realistic, multifaceted criminal world of corruption, drug dealing, protection rackets, human trafficking, theft, and murder, with these three heading the cast.

Iyabo Ojo, Toyin Abraham, Adebowale Adebayo, Bimbo Ademoye, Wasiu Pasuma Alabi, and more actors appear in the film.

Gangs of Lagos is presently available on Amazon Prime Video.
