A crime thriller film titled “Shina” has become a major hit on Netflix with Nigerian audiences. Since its debut in mid-June, “Shina” has consistently held a spot within the top 10 most-streamed movies in Nigeria. This achievement highlights the film’s strong appeal and is a major contributing factor to its success on the streaming platform.
Directed by the duo of Muyiwa Adesokun and Carmen Lilian-Ike-Okoro, “Shina” dives into the world of crime and suspense. The story follows a taxi driver in Lagos on a perilous mission. To save his ailing grandmother, he must deliver a mysterious package. As he embarks on this journey, unexpected twists and turns leave him facing a difficult moral dilemma.
Feyifunmi Oginni takes the producer’s seat for “Shina”. The cast boasts a lineup of talented Nigerian actors, including veterans Akin Lewis and Segun Arinze. Actor Timini Egbuson also plays a key role behind the camera this time.
“Shina” marks Egbuson’s debut as an executive producer.
He’s no stranger to the spotlight, though, having previously appeared in numerous films and television series. Notably, Egbuson has starred in Nollywood’s highest-grossing movie to date, “A Tribe Called Judah,” and even scored the 2020 AMVCA Award for Best Actor in a Drama for his role in “Elevator Baby.”
