Description: Hoodrush is a musical thriller starring some of the best and emerging young talents in the industry, O.C Ukeje, Gabriel Afolayan, Chelsea Eze, Ijeoma Agu, Lilian Byoma and host of others. The movie was directed by Dimeji Ajibola, a new comer in feature film who has done quite a number of production works for multinationals, media houses and has a number of short films to his credit. Hoodrush is produced by Flipsyde Studios where Dimeji is the CEO. Dimeji Ajibola adopted an unusual genre in telling the story about love, passion, lofty dreams religiously stalked by ‘shattered pro’, daring ruthlessness… faced in Pursuit of Happiness. The lip synched songs which tow the Bollywood path, unveils song after song, which triggers off cinematic restlessness, except you’re a fan or patience happens to be one of your virtues. It is child’s play when compared to Bollywood’s renowned customary musical lifestyle powered on the big screen, but it still finds a sense of identity in the maze of untapped genres in Nollywood.
Two vocally talented brothers Shez (O.C.Ukeje) and Tavia (Gabriel Afolayan) dangle at the bottom of the social ladder. They dream of breaking into stardom having entered into series of talent hunt shows. The mega star dream is once more shattered following a scammed audition of a talent hunt show. Tied down with the chains of penury, despair and misery, Shez clutches at the straw of freedom Alhaja Kadisha- AK1 (Bimbo Akintola) offers him. This unwholesome relationship is financially rewarding and he dives into the pool of greed and selfishness, scheming to have his record label, but there’s a price he has to pay.
