Omoni Oboli’s much-anticipated Nollywood sequel, The Wedding, has made a powerful debut on streaming platforms, amassing over 2 million views within its first 24 hours of release on Saturday, October 25, 2025.
The romantic comedy, which stars Bambam and Uzor Arukwe in lead roles, has quickly become a trending topic across social media but not without controversy.
While fans applaud the cast’s chemistry, humor, and vibrant storytelling, many viewers have voiced frustration over the film’s three-hour runtime, describing it as “exhausting” and “poorly paced.”
Critics argue that the extended length caused the story to drag in parts, diminishing the impact of its emotional moments.
Another major talking point has been the film’s heavy product placements, with visible promotions for brands like MTN and Coca-Cola scattered throughout the movie.
Some audiences claim these placements disrupted the narrative flow, calling them “distracting” and “too commercialized.”
Despite these criticisms, The Wedding has been praised for its strong performances, high-quality production design, and cinematic visuals, signaling Nollywood’s growing technical sophistication.
