‘Silent Scandal’ pulls crowd

Thousands of movie fans over the weekend thronged the Silverbird cinema to see Vivian Ejike’s latest box office the ‘Silent Scandal’ which features Genevieve Nnaji and Ghanaian international and lady’s man Majid Michael.

About three of Silverbird’s large cinema halls were filled to capacity with several movie lovers pushing management of Silverbird to arrange for additional showing times on the premiere night.

Pretty face Nigerian actress Genevieve Nnaji was at her best having been absent from the scene for a while and making her fans crave so crazily for her. It was as if the fans gathered to confirm whether their screen goddess was really back with another bang.

Versatile Ghanaian actor Majid Michael also shown at his best and there’s no doubt that the beau is one of Ghana’s best at the moment.

The audience who gathered to see the movie on the gigantic screens were truly happy and satisfied as summed by 43-year-old banker, Samuel Keelson, “this movie is really mind-blowing. I thought I had seen good movies in recent times, but this Silent Scandal is something else”.

Happy and contented Albert Mensah, General Manager of Silverbird Ghana said “We are amazed at the number of people who thronged in to see the Silent Scandal. It was as though we embarked on a door-to-door campaign to bring in the people. Our customers are happy and this confirms the fact that Silverbird is in the business to bring Ghanaians the first and the best. We expect more and more people to come and see this movie and other great ones we have on the menu for this festive season.

The dramatic love story revolves around the hidden and triangular love lives of a strict mother, her spoilt daughter and an indigent ‘playboy’.

It has top actress, Genevieve Nnaji, as the lead act, Uche Jombo, Ebele Okaro, Ghanaian import –Michael Majid and a host of other emerging acts.

Silent Scandal is an emotional story, where a mother and her only daughter, unknowingly, are torn apart by the true love and lust of an indigent young man. The movie is full of intrigues and suspense from start-to-finish.

The movie is produced by leading female filmmaker and honcho of Purple Pine Productions, Vivian Ejike. It was carefully shot with hi-tech production equipment and thoroughly manned by tested professionals.
