3 Cold Dishes: Africa’s Thriller That Hits Home
When three women’s pasts collide in a story of survival and justice, the result is a film you won’t forget. 3 Cold Dishes, premiering on November 7, 2025, brings together a Pan-African cast, multiple countries, and a story that’s as intense as it is personal.
A Story of Survival and Retribution
Esosa (Osas Ighodaro), Fatouma (Fat Toure), and Giselle (Maud Guerard) were trafficked as teenagers from Nigeria, Côte d’Ivoire, and Benin. Two decades later, they reunite to confront the men who destroyed their youth. The film follows their calculated journey for justice, moving between suspenseful confrontations, emotional reckonings, and unexpected alliances. It is a thriller, but one rooted in real struggles that many African women face.
Across Africa, Through the Lens

The film’s striking imagery comes from its authentic locations: Nigeria, Côte d’Ivoire, Benin, Senegal, and Mauritania. Each country is more than a backdrop; it shapes the story. From the bustling streets of Lagos to the serene landscapes of Senegal, the locations add texture, grounding the film in real African spaces that viewers will recognize and connect with.
Cast and Crew That Shine
Directed by Asurf Oluseyi and co-directed by Apolline Traoré, 3 Cold Dishes is driven by performances that linger long after the screen goes dark. Osas Ighodaro gives a layered portrayal of Esosa, while Fat Toure and Maud Guerard bring depth and subtlety to Fatouma and Giselle. Wale Ojo, Femi Jacobs, and Bambadjan Bamba add gravitas to the story, portraying the men whose past actions come back to haunt them.
Executive producers Burna Boy, Osas Ighodaro, and Bose Ogulu bring vision and energy, while Tomi Adesina’s screenplay balances suspense with the human side of trauma.
Music That Speaks

Music is a silent character in the film, with contributions from Angelique Kidjo, Asa, Tems, Johnny Drille, Ayra, and Burna Boy. Each track heightens key moments: a tense confrontation, a quiet reunion, or the flashbacks that haunt the protagonists. The result is a soundtrack that stays with viewers long after the credits roll.
Buzz Before the Premiere

Even before its debut, 3 Cold Dishes has caught attention. Osas Ighodaro received a nomination for Best African Actress, and the screenplay earned a nod at the Septimius Awards. The combination of suspense, real issues, and stellar performances has critics and audiences alike marking their calendars.
Why It Matters
3 Cold Dishes shines a light on the lingering impact of human trafficking while telling a story of courage, friendship, and reclamation. It is an African story told on an African canvas, with locations, actors, and music that make the experience distinctly homegrown.
For Nigerian audiences, the film offers more than entertainment. It sparks conversation, invites reflection, and reminds viewers of resilience. Keep an eye on cinemas nationwide, as 3 Cold Dishes is one you’ll be talking about long after leaving the theater.

Trailer Review for “Safari”
When the trailer for Safari dropped, it immediately set social media buzzing. Directed by Obi Emelonye and fronted by Osas Ighodaro, the film promises an emotional and unpredictable journey; part thriller, part moral drama, set against Kenya’s vivid landscapes. The movie is scheduled for release on November 9, 2025, and anticipation is already building across Africa’s film circles.

Ighodaro plays the wife of a Nigerian politician who seems to have it all: luxury, power, and influence, yet she feels trapped in her own life. A trip to Kenya offers the illusion of freedom, but that calm doesn’t last. When a British tourist is found dead and a local man she has befriended becomes the prime suspect, her escape turns into a dangerous web of secrets and suspicion.
From its opening moments, the trailer pulls viewers in. Kenya looks stunning but never sanitized. The camera lingers on sunlit beaches, bustling markets, and tense silences between characters. Every scene feels loaded, not with melodrama but with the quiet dread of choices that cannot be undone.

The cast is a key part of the film’s appeal. Alongside Osas Ighodaro, audiences can expect strong performances from an ensemble of both established Nollywood talent and emerging Kenyan actors. Notably, Emmanuel Mugo portrays Joe Chiama, a local man who becomes entangled in the unfolding drama. Ali Nuhu takes on the role of Senator Farouk, Nkiru’s powerful yet distant husband. Jide Kene Achufusi plays the Lawyer, navigating the legal complexities that arise, while Ken Ambani portrays the Inspector, investigating the mysterious death. Their chemistry brings authenticity to the cross-cultural storyline, adding depth and tension to a narrative where every glance and gesture carries weight.
What is refreshing about Safari is how grounded it feels. Kenya is not presented as a backdrop for drama; it is part of the story, unpredictable, beautiful, and charged with danger. The cinematography captures the tension between freedom and fear, giving the film a visual pulse that feels both intimate and expansive.

Of course, trailers can mislead. Safari could lose its footing if it leans too heavily on romance or moral panic. But if Emelonye keeps the balance between tension and emotion, this could be one of Nollywood’s most talked-about releases of the year.
More than anything, Safari feels like a film about running: from love, from guilt, from the versions of ourselves we no longer recognise. And sometimes, as this trailer suggests, the hardest person to escape is yourself.
