Obaram, which means ‘My Blood’ in Igbo, is one movie that stands as a testament to how music can make storytelling more engaging...

Casts: Nancy Isime, Deyemi Okanlawon, Onyeka Onwenu, Bolanle Ninalowo, Nkem Owoh, Chizobam Ewuzie, Anosike Angelo, E Plane, William Chinoyenem, Darasimi Nadi, Tolulope Odebunmi, Ikponmwosa Gold, Onyebuchi Ojieh, Rough koins, Ikekhua Anthonia, Sydney Egere, T-Clef, Preach Bassey, Waje Iruobe and Bolaji Ogunmola

The film opens with a sonorous song by Oluchi and Ihunaya from different locations. Oluchi sings from a bar with her band in Lagos, while Ihuanya sings on her way to school. They sing the song to connote a connection. However, the audience fails to see it until halfway into the movie. She confronts past mistakes she has been running away from. She tries to reconnect with Oluchi through their love for music. However, every inch closer they get, a truth from her past always puts them at loggerheads. It makes it even harder for the mother and child to unite.In the village, Ihunnaya, played by is an open secret. She does not know about the information. She thinks her grandfather, Humprephy , is her biological father.

Oluchi runs off to Lagos again and refuses to ask about her child. She refuses to pick up her father’s call because, according to her, she is not interested in the child. She continues to seek a good life from her struggling music career. Another commendable element in the movie is the cast members. We see Nancy Isime deliver exceptionally well in her role as Oluchi. Not to mention the child actor, Darasimi, who embodied the Ihunanya character so well that you can almost tell that’s what a child like her reality would do. In all, the casting did justice to the movie.

As much as it shines in its music elements, one cannot fail to notice the actors made the lip-syncing too obvious. To enjoy the movie, you might have to ignore it to focus more on the song.
