IF YOU weren’t at the premiering of Venus Film’s new movie, The King Is Mine last Friday, then you have missed a lot. The night was indeed replete with glitz and glamour mixed with a lot of attractions. Despite a downpour on Friday evening, the event had a considerate attendance from movie enthusiasts as well as the crème de la crème of Ghanaian movie stars, who thronged the National Theater to give the occasion the look it deserved. The number of movie stars who graced the occasion made it look like a stars reunion ceremony. Most were those who posed with colleague stars for the paparazzi while others also signed autographs. Other attractions included the sparkling fashion displayed by actresses in particular. Besides the cast including Kalsum Sinare, Jackie Appiah and John Dumelo, there were also big names like Irene Opare, Kojo Dadson, Emmanuel Armah, Ziggy Netson, Nii Odoi Mensah, Yvonne Nelson, Lydia Forson, Ingrid, Naa Shorkor among others. The premiering which was to start at 7pm eventually started at 8: 30pm due to the downpour. The lead cast could however not take their seats before the showing starts. Jackie Appiah was the last to come at about 9:25pm after John Dumelo and Kalsum Sinare. BEATWAVES could not sight the likes of Nadia Buari and Kofi Adjolorlor who were also part of the cast, but information had it that Nadia was not in town. Patrons greeted some scenes of the movie especially the erotic ones with loud cheers. The movie tells the story of a young king (played by John Dumelo) who desperately desires an heir to his throne. He inherited a wife from his late brother and predecessor but after several attempts, she failed to bear him a male child. Now the king seeks a new mistress. But is this possible by the gods? What happened was what movie enthusiasts came to see for themselves. The movie boasts of good visual effects, soundtrack, setting, make-up and better language among others. Acting output was okay as well as the storyline, except that the story was left hanging. Source: Daily Guide
