Anikulapo, an intriguing film by Kunle Afolayan, begins in the middle, but Anikulapo cast manages to tell an amazing tale. It’s a basic plot that incorporates a lot of cultures, as well as moral teachings on pride, greed, deceit, and shattered trust, among other things, and the film depicts the Yorubas in the 17th century in vivid detail, including how welcome they were, their polygamous marital pattern, artistic talents, and traditional folklore and customs.
The film opens in the most intriguing way conceivable, with a dead Saro being brought back to life by the Akala Bird, a fabled bird claimed to possess the ability of resurrection, and according to the narrator, if someone dies prematurely, the Akala bird resurrects them with its divine capacity. Yet, if the person’s time has come, the bird permits them to pass to the great beyond, and Saro’s attempt to explain to this bird the reason for his death offers us what appears to be the tale.

However, it is just a prologue that takes an hour too long to deliver its point, but we think that the work of the Anikulapo cast just saved the whole movie. In a preview of the site, the famed KAP village, located in Igbojaye, Kumo, Oyo State, is shown at its height, where the characters Anikulapo cast give life live. The Kunle Afolayan family legacy is formally brought to our screens with the feature film debut of Eyiyemi Afolayan, the young daughter.
Eyiyemi is the third generation Afolayan in Nollywood, carrying on the Adeyemi “Adelove” Afolayan lineage, however, the film goes beyond simply evaluating the dynasty by attempting to transform it, and we think it is all thanks to the Anikulapo cast’s amazing performances. Anikulapo tells the narrative of Saro, the protagonist, and Queen Arolake, the deuteragonist, whose encounter results in more dread than love, but who plays them in the Anikulapo cast?
