The most recent movie by Kunle Afolayan, Anikulapo, has reached a significant Netflix milestone.
Nearly two weeks after its streaming launch, the director just made statistics public that showed the epic movie had rated first worldwide.
With a total of 8,730,000 global views, Anikulapo is presently ranked among the top 10 non-English language movies on Netflix.
“While this is being celebrated by Nigerians home and abroad, the acceptability of it from people around the world with different cultural background and beliefs proves beyond words that Anikulapo tells a universal story that every human across the world can relate to,” said Afolayan.
“It is also noteworthy to state that the movie in a great way creates an inclusiveness of both male and female character traits, bringing to light the fine thin line between lust and love, hate and resentment, illusion, etc Congratulations to us all, and thanks to you guys out there for the reviews and referrals.”
The movie, which is produced and directed by Afolayan and stars Kunle Remi as the title character, is set in the historic Oyo kingdom and centers on a young man’s search for better opportunities.
On October 1, 2022, the Netflix original made its premiere to raving acclaim. The majority of its admirers gave the cast’s performances and their portrayals of Yoruba culture high acclaim.
A spin-off series based on the movie is being planned, according to Afolayan.
