Nigerian cinemas are buzzing with exciting films this season, offering everything from heartfelt romance to thrilling adventures. EELIVE curates a list of films to watch across Nigerian cinemas on Valentine’s Day:
- REEL LOVE
The much-anticipated movie Reel Love, co-produced by Timini Egbuson, will be across Nigerian cinemas on Valentine’s Day.
The movie will features Nollywood stars such as Muyiwa Ademola, Funke Akindele, Shaffy Bello, Altanta Johnson, among others.
Speaking at the movie premiere, Timini Egbuson shared his thought on the movie. He said “I wanted to make a movie with soul, something everyone could resonate with. It wasn’t just about my character’s love story—we touched on different layers of relationships. This was also a chance to introduce fresh talent, and TJ Omusuku’s first lead role means a lot to me. Seeing this film come to life has been a dream come true.
“Reel Love is a story close to my heart. It speaks to the reality of love in the digital age—how we connect, break, and heal. I wanted to create an authentic, relatable, and deeply moving Valentine’s movie. I can’t wait for audiences to experience it.”
Futhermore, the movie will feature comedy, drama, and unexpected romance.
