    The movie dinobi has an connectivity of motherless children, the movie show the importance of motherhood. Having a mother.

    The movie dinobi has a connective and impactful aspect of storytelling, not only on the story but on the technical aspects, it was a good job done. It teaches basically on the importance of motherhood. The significance of biological mother, and it also establishes the relevants of friendship. Now it also have an aspect of corrections in friendship. Basic on the side of the boys stepmother.colouration for the movie and the cinematography for the movie creation did a nice job for the movie. And the movie shows the reliability of the security system in the country. Dinobi is a movie that can relate.

    Dinobi is worth it!

    I watched Dinobi and I enjoyed every second of it.

    It's a real Nigerian family and teen romance drama filled with love, pains and struggles like I've not seen before.

    Delivery was great and the story too!

    I also liked the role of Dr Orok which is basically what every mother could have done, and it is a totally beautiful act. The Police scenes were also beautiful and well represented and I give them a kudos on that.

    In total, I give Dinobi a 10 star and if you're wondering if it'll be worth it, then give it your 2 hours.

    I also shout out to the producers and team and I appreciate them for doing such a great first work.
