Many movie pundits have tipped the movie to do very well at the cinema as the cast of the movie are professionals who know their onions. Many have hailed the presence of Funke Akindele in the flick as she brings something extra to the table in any movie she partakes in, instances are The Return of Jenifa and Tunde Kelani’s Maami, two movies that made a combined sale of N54 million at the cinema.
