MOVIE REVIEW: Orisa: Shaffy Bello is driving force of this gripping, instructive Yoruba tale

: Odunlade Adekola, Femi Adebayo, Shaffy Bello, Jide Kosoko, Dele Odule, Muyiwa Ademola, and Eniola Ajao.Moviegoers experienced cases of “Barbie fever” thanks to the producer’s colossal marketing budget; fans of Opphemiere and Barbie were caught up in a digital face-off; Femi Adebayo sent thrills down our spines with the trailer of his new epic movie, Jagun Jagun; and Odunlade Adekola brought old Yourba glam to the red carpet during the premiere of his film, Orisa.

With a line-up of both veterans and newbies in the film industry, Orisa takes viewers on an epic journey into a world that offers a solid moral lesson. However, this journey is cut short as it does not provide enough dramatic events to intrigue viewers. Orisa is saved by the costumes, production designs, acting performances, and dialogues that immerse viewers in a rich cultural experience.The film begins with the narrator telling the tale of a king. We see the king, Adefolarin , being summoned to a witches’ coven, where he is accused of being disrespectful and proud. Showing no remorse, the witches decide to punish him with insanity.

Once the traitor’s action is brought to light, the king is healed, but at a price. This leaves him facing Komokomo in an epic battle where only one can survive.It would be hypocritical not to applaud the film’s scripting vis-à-vis the dialogues. Although primarily premised on a dark tone, the writer found ways to include comic relief that didn’t seem forced.

Shaffy Bello stands out among the cast as she accurately portrays a grieving wife who grows weary of her husband’s situation. Honestly, the plot dragged out a lot. There were several unnecessary scenes in the movie. For example, in the beginning, we see King Afolarin become a madman. We watched him act insane for about five minutes. It was almost like the writer downplayed the audience’s intelligence by reminding us of his madness. It also did not help that his rage is often referred to throughout the movie. Remember, “show, don’t tell.
