Namaste Wahala: Nollywood/Bollywood super love story debuts on Valentine's day

"Namaste Wahala", the much awaited Nollywood-Bollywood Romcom has received Valentines Day release on Netflix.

Namaste Wahala is a delightful cross-cultural love story, it is set for a Valentine's Day global release on streaming service Netflix.

Produced and directed by Hamisha Daryaniahuja, the romcom - a Netflix Original - was shot entirely in Lagos, Nigeria.

The film is the classic love story, with a Nollywood meets Bollywood twist - a Nigerian woman, Didi played by Inidima Okojie and her Indian love interest, Raj portrayed by Ruslaan Mumtaz , who fall in love despite the differences in their cultural backgrounds.

Through this romantic journey, the couple take their families on a memorable rollercoaster ride of emotions!

Namaste Wahala, according to Netflix sources, brings it all, and beautifully so - the glitter, lushness, gorgeous color and textures that both Nigerian and Indian cultures are so famous for!

And of course, no wedding is complete without some dramatics - and Namaste Wahala does not disappoint! There are all the familiar hallmarks of Nollywood and Bollywood weddings - the nonstop drama, sheer hilarity, misunderstandings, heartwarming moments, near disasters and strong family bonds.

Equally impressive is the talent of this witty romcom - Nigeria’s own Richard Mofe Damijo (RMD) and Joke Silva meet up with well loved Bollywood actor Segal Sujata as the lovestruck couples senior family members. They are joined by Osas Ighodaro, Broda Shaggi, Frodd of Big Brother fame, Anee Icha, K10, Ibrahim Suleiman and Imoh Eboh.

As a third generation Indian living in Nigeria, the Executive Producer and Director Hamisha Daryani Ahuja deeply cherishes and respects both cultures.

She says: “I am very excited about my movie Namaste Wahala going to the whole world through Netflix. The movie showcases the beauty of Nigeria and the wealth of talent in Nollywood. It was amazing to see how beautifully two cultures which I hold very close to my heart came together in this fusion movie. I can’t wait for all of you to watch it.”
