The crime movie, which features Sola Sobowale, Adesua Etomi and Reminisce, tells the story of Alhaja Eniola Salami, a businesswoman and philanthropist with a checkered past and a promising political future.
As her political ambitions see her outgrowing the underworld connections responsible for her considerable wealth, she’s drawn into a power struggle that threatens everything she holds dear.
The crew also released ‘Original Gangster’ as the soundtrack for the movie.
The track features Adekunle Gold, Reminisce and Sess, a musical producer.
Has anyone watched this movie?Please give us tips!!!
I need to watch this movie
ReplyDeletePlease do.
Delete@Stella , Kemi really did well from the cast, to the plot and mini plots and in fact her prips really interacts well with everything . She allowed each actor shine and I am really impressed .
Few Downer moments includes where the tempo dropped in few scenes e.g. where the Nfcc guy went to confront his superior officer/when he helped Eniola Salami escaped, when Eniola was reminiscing after she was caught, also at one point, the camera was made to suggest that someone was lurking in the shadows to strike the Nfcc guy when he entered his car and about to drive off.
I also expected more gore/blood at the second scene plus the lighting wasn't enough to actually see the blood spill when Eniola hammered the traitors' head to death!
This is like watching a remake of Godfather but with a breath of fresh air because it truly represents our present Nigeria .
Kemi really raised the bar on this one.
the film is a film abeg. almost 3 hours. action packed, kemi shud loud this film well well . what is 200m, she shud be making 1Billion becos the film is worth it. see the way Odunlade is taking his Vendor wey no sweet o becos i watch am and i regret spending3k, King of boys was 2500 and i enjoyed am well well. Kudos to Kemi

ReplyDeleteDon't be small minded. This is entertainment. It's THE INDUSTRY now and instead of a government that is wise to invest heavily in grants, partner to build studios and so on. We are counting our teeth with lizard tongue. Kudos ojere oni film. Ride on
DeleteWow impressive! Maybe I should see it?
ReplyDeleteThat's a good one.
ReplyDeleteI will be in Enugu this Christmas, is there any cinema I can go to. Heard the last one was closed.
ReplyDeleteThe film is worth it. Itsa must must watch
ReplyDeleteKing of boys the movie that kept everyone glued to their seats when i saw it, no pee no going and coming. Movie ended and boom like 50 people rushed to the rest room. Not exaggerating. It should be the movie of the year in the next AMVCA .
ReplyDeleteReal movie of the year
DeleteAmvca just dey choose their friends and celebrate them
Delete😁😁😁😁😁I can imagine the queue waiting to use the toilet
DeleteVery true. I sat through the entire movie...3 hours well spent indeed!
DeleteAh! I watched in on saturday night. It was da BOMB!!!!
ReplyDeleteBack-to-back suspense! Sola sobowale is bae. That toni tones girl who acted a younger version of her did it very well. Adesua Etomi nko? Gbam! The NCCC man (Nuru!). Kemi Adetiba two hundred million gbosa for you!! The cinema hall was full and alot of people were repeat watchers, sef.
First time a Nigerian movie has thrilled me, so.
Okay this Review is making my heart jump!!
DeleteSomeone has been nagging me about this movie but he’s easily hyped about everything,so I really didn't catch the bug.
I have to see this movie.
Some complained that it was too long, but I even love long movies.
Will def watch it.
If the cinemas were filled up, why is anyone doubting its made 200M already. Or they think tickets are free?🙄
So everyone in that hall told you it was their 2nd time watching?
DeleteI've seen it 3times......
DeleteVery interesting movie! !
When will Netflix buy na? Abeg awa diasporans are begging
Delete20:49 ask your village head that question. When he/she answers, let me know.
Delete@iphie dearie trust Nigerians. What they cant do they dont think another person can. So moving on.... please watch this movie. And thank God for creating people like Kemi 😁😁
@cookie i am not surprised! 😂 it that good.
I am seeing this movie on Boxing Day
ReplyDeleteIt's a most watch
***must
DeleteWho knew Reminisce could act? His character was just perfect! Great story.... Kemi meehnn.... you did a great job
ReplyDeleteReminisce wowed me. He should just stick to acting. Not every movie though.
DeleteSola Sobowale own, words fail me. The woman is too much.
Aunty Shola is a good actor, and reminise too
DeleteVery very interesting. It was worth every cent I paid.
ReplyDeleteThe night I saw the movie, it was showing at times 30 mins apart..8:30pm and 9pm and they were both sold out.
ReplyDeleteAlmost 3 hours of spell binding movie, my husband would not even watch Nigerian movie in the house talk much more of going to the cinema to watch one but when the movie ended he gave it a thumbs up!
Kemi Adetiba is a legend.
Sola Shobowale an amazing act
Reminice was refreshing to watch
Toni Tones???? I'm yet to see a toll she doesn't interpret absolutely well.
This movie doesn't get the hype it deserves, cos it's not a mo abudu production
True.. My husband watches most movies in the cinema halfway and tunes off, not to talk of naija movie; but with This, he paid rapt attention despite having to go early to work the next morning. The movie deserves the hype.
DeleteI swear Toni Tones is an actor every one should watch out for. She's good
DeleteAbeg extra .motivation to watch would be if Aunty mi Sola did her trademark "run". Wey she go gather her cloth for hand and run fast. MBA. It can't be called run see. Scurry is the word. LMAO. Scurry..like a pretty, yellow beetle. Lol
DeleteAnon 22:24,you are so funny! It must have months I followed my kids to the cinema(they are adults o),but surprisingly,we are going to watch this Adetiba's film this Sunday. I cannot wait o. I am not surprised that this lady's talent is out of this world;she added the midas touch to the Wedding Party 1,the only Nigerian film I liked.I did not like Fifty because they took materials from Tyler Perry's works and from Soul Food.Hopefully,we will enjoy this new film.
DeleteKemi A retina deserves all the awards in the next AMVCA.
ReplyDeleteGo see this movie if you've not.
Adetiba*
DeleteDefinitely going to see it Swaggy,
DeleteChaiii !!!! I must go and see this movie, see hype and reviews.
ReplyDeleteOya let's go there
A must watch 👍 up to the cast and crew
ReplyDeleteGood madam sola is good at what she do
ReplyDelete*what she does*.... dear
DeleteKEMI ADETIBA this is for you o! how can we in the diaspora see this movie? biko help a sister
ReplyDeleteIs it on Netflix?
ReplyDeleteHave watched it twice sef and each was an experience. Won't hesistate to watch again if I see opportunity. God abeg o, this kind of movie should not be pirated. The hard work and creativity Kemi invested in this movie needs every rewards and accolades it can get.
ReplyDeleteLet anonymous come and be asking me JAMB question that e cannor hanswer
DeleteI must commend Kemi Adetiba, they movie was the bomb and a must see, Nigeria film industry has improved greatly, just a few things that were missed like using the current governor of Lagos picture whereas the governor in the movie is a different person and hotel bedding showing in the house of Sola Sobowale,regardless of all, it is a must see. You won't regret watching .
ReplyDeleteAnd adesua making calls on a locked phone
DeleteHmmmm you really noticed the flaws.
DeleteAnyway, great movie and a must watch
Yeah. Those continuity issues are a beesh. Like in The wedding party. But from where we are coming from, easily forgivable. Only way is up
DeleteSo here is the math; for it to make 200m it means 133,333k tickets were sold that is if it was sold at 1500. Now one cinema seats about 56(according to sold out pic I saw). It means this movie has had 2380 fully sold out cinema halls since it was released.
ReplyDeleteI’m not saying it’s a lie, I just like numbers.
Congrats to the producer
Madam ITK tickets was sold at #3000 and each day na like water dem dey come watch d movie. Awon mathematicians oshi
DeleteOkay. I got mine for 2000 on saturday. Please re-do the math again lets see.
DeleteAnon 22:32, what is peppering you? Simple math that you could have responded to turning to insult??? See data doesn’t lie, but I know Nigerians hate data. We will rather use sentiments and emotions rather than facts and data.
DeleteChikito bought hers at 2k, is she also lying, I used 1500 because that’s price of ticket(new movie/weekends) some even sell 1k for midweek tickets. And the 3k you mentioned is probably first few days of release. But even if it’s the permanent price for this particular movie, you could say that and moved on. Please take you anger and vent on those that vexed you
Choi! I enjoyed watching this.. Me that don't like Nigerian movies but king of Boys make sense wella.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter told me to whatch this movie.
ReplyDeleteI need to watch dis movie o.
ReplyDeleteI need to watch this movie
ReplyDeleteThe movie deserves all the hype abeg!!!!! The best from nollywood yet!!
ReplyDeleteOdogwu Malay is my favorite act, Toni tones is good, makanaki is great!!!
So finally I saw Heaven on my mind.
ReplyDeleteAbeg nothing spectacular biko. Just the normal drama!
That Mercy Aigbe's role should have been giving to Funke Akindele the would have killed it.
Ray Emodi is the MVP
Kemi Adetiba be making money moves since 1914
ReplyDeleteI have not see Genevieve movie but it can't match with this one.dont know why they hype Genevieve the road to yesterday was not a box film.the story line was not too solid and the characters didnt deliver with finese.kudos to kemi
ReplyDeleteWhat has Genny got to do with this news? You know you can hype this movie without trying to bring another person down???
DeleteGenny is Queen of nollywood like it or not
ITK, what does this move have to do with Genny long time movie. Smhhhhh
DeleteIt’s a typical nollywood movie. Sounds issues. Unnecessary scenes. Over acting and far too long.
ReplyDeleteThe only interesting character was Toni Tones.
I want to watch oooo
ReplyDeleteKemi should put it on Netflix when it’s done the cinema rounds please
ReplyDeleteon our trip to Nigeria last month, we really enjoyed this movie, with begi begi hubby accepted to watch king of boys, infact the way he talks bout the movie, he was impressed, I really enjoyed the movie, so impressed with the story line n how realistic the ending was, it tells of what truly happens in Nigeria, there were so many hero’s in the movie that did really well apart from the lead actress, I must say I was impressed with the younger sola, the rapper reminisce and the guy who worked with the crime commission not to discredit the lead actress, no one could have done it better. If we were still in Nigeria I would watch again, it deserves all the credit. Well structured movie. I have been following Kemi Adetiba show on YouTube about king women and I really loved all the episodes especially the woman called Remi and the lady who sold moimoi internationally and Michelle obama tasted her food. Kemi is really hardworking n wholeheartedly deserves the best. The movie was a good one and it sets the bar high for Nollywood
ReplyDeleteNice movie, unnecessary scenes, too long but dem try sha
ReplyDeleteI must watch this king of boys before this week runs out
ReplyDeleteWhen Nigerians rant and rave about a movie or indeed anything at all, most times its beyond average.
ReplyDeleteNo thanks, I'll pass.
Then you'll pass on great things. Take it from a Thespian, if you have seen Godfather Series, then you'll enjoy this even better because it's the story of Nigerians and what happens here.
Deleteits a must watch!!
ReplyDeletewithout gainsaying, king of boys is 100% dope.
ReplyDeleteShoko Loko Bangoshe
ReplyDeleteKOB was an okay movie....about 65% in my view. You should watch it, at least it offers something different from typical bollywood but the length was tooooo excessive
ReplyDeleteThe hype and reviews for this movies be giving me second thoughts. I don't watch naija movies at the cinema, but it's like this one would break it.
ReplyDeleteThe movie is too worth the hype. 200m is too small sef. I’ve seen it before and I can’t wait to go see it agin. For me, it’s the best Nigerian movie of the decade. The movie is badddd!
ReplyDeleteThe BV that compared the movie to Godfathe, you sure say na Godfather you watch? Sola Sobowale made the movie interesting by the way but it was over-hyped. So many loopholes, like serious ones. Toni Tones was GREAT in the movie and if she doesn't win best supporting actress at the AMVCA then something is wrong. All in all, over-hyped sha and the movie was more than 3hours. it was 210mins (3hrs 30mins) with zero ad o. I stood up to pee 2ce as I cannot damage my bladder for one movie. Paid 600 hundred naira to see it at filmhouse.
ReplyDeleteI did compare it to Godfather especially, Godfather 2. Guess your standing up to pee made you miss out some parts. I didn't over hype it and Kemi really tried. If you read my write-up, you'll see where I pointed out some downer moments where the tempo dropped and other Bv did too.🙏
