Nollywood’s theatrical run in the first half of 2026 has been nothing short of spectacular, delivering an aggressive mix of high-budget epics, romantic dramas, and culture-focused narratives. Leading the charge at the peak of the chart mountain is none other than Dammy Twitch’s incredible feature directorial debut, "Call of My Life".

Distributed across the federation by FilmOne Entertainment, this refreshing romantic comedy follows the hilarious yet emotionally complex journey of Soluchi (brilliantly portrayed by Uzoamaka Power), a hopeless romantic fighting to pull herself together after being unceremoniously jilted by her longtime ex-partner, Kalu (Zubby Michael).
What Sets the Film Apart
While past box office cycles relied heavily on multi-ensemble family slapsticks or expensive historical wars, Call of My Life succeeds by putting grounded, highly authentic, and completely relatable modern dating anxieties front and center. Written single-handedly by Uzoamaka Power herself, the dialogue is snappy, intensely sharp, and deeply Nigerian without falling into outdated comedic clichés.
Coupled with flawless, high-contrast cinematography delivered by the production powerhouse team, it's very clear why audiences are rushing back for secondary and tertiary views. As it inches incredibly close to breaching the coveted half-billion Naira milestone, it stands firm as a flawless model for prospective modern Nollywood filmmakers.
