Alakada Reloaded is a 2017 Nigerian comedy film by Nigerian actress and filmmaker Toyin Abraham.[1] The film is the third part of the popular Alakada franchise, the former two being Alakada and Alakada 2". It was released in theaters on May 26, 2017 and stars Toyin Abraham, Bolaji Amusan, Gabriel Afolayan, Kemi Lala Akindoju, and a cameo of Odunlade Adekola as himself. [2]
The franchise follows Yetunde, a young girl who, having come from a less-privileged family, makes a habit of lying to people about her financial status. In this film, she finds herself competing in a reality show, much like Big Brother Naija, and her habits of lying are getting harder to hold up amongst her cast mates, some of who are actually well to do and the rest who are also pathological liars like her.
Alakada Reloaded was a huge commercial success in cinemas upon release, and part of the list of highest-grossing Nigerian films, having garnered a domestic gross of up to 70 million naira.[3][circular reference][4][5]
