    Shame on us for not watching this movie soon enough

    This movie was a delight, very well crafted. The message passed was loud and clear. Thank you!

    DELICIOUS

    -The film really encourages people to persevere and not minimize little efforts or opportunities as they'll eventually lead to something bigger.

    -Always grateful anytime we can have a clean entertainment for the whole family

    -Hats off to Asurf Oluseyi and Tomi Adesina for a fluent storytelling from start to finish. They smoothly guided us through Hakkunde's journey.

    We traveled with him to Kaduna and got to experience the Hausa culture, hospitality, and daily challenges.

    -We greatly appreciated the accent on integrity. The film proved that poor conditions, joblessness, and desperation should never be an excuse to be dishonest.

    BLAND

    -Overall, the acting was passable. We, unfortunately, didn't get to see Hakkunde but Frank Donga, i.e., he didn't lose himself in the character he was playing but gave off his usual mannerisms. And his wig really threw us off πŸ˜–

    -The first thing that hit right in the eye was the pale orange color grading which tremendously affected the image quality.

    -Dubbing wasn't properly mixed making the ADR recording highly noticeable

    -Without spoiling anything, how was Hakkunde's business idea able to work? It didn't quite make sense that people would buy from him what they already had on their land for free.
