In what is an unusual concept, Netflix’s Valentine’s Day release is going to be love story of an Indian guy and a Nigerian woman – and we are totally up for it.
The name of the movie is Namaste Wahala (which means ‘Hello Trouble’), and it revolves around the fun and the challenges of two very different cultures coming together.
Starring Ini Dima-Okojie and Ruslaan Mumtaz, Netflix has pitched it as the story of two people who fight to be together even though everything doesn’t seem to be going their way.
From the looks of the trailer, Namaste Wahala is going to be filled with all the elements of a quintessential rom-com, including drama of course.
The reactions to the trailer have also started pouring in and people are excited to say the least.
wow I'm genuinely so excited to watch Namaste Wahala. I really, really love storylines like that. I love to see how the couples stand for each other and overcome their families resistance to their r/s. loveee it 😭❤
