5 Things That Will Make You Watch FKD Production’s MANSOOR

By Mubarak Khan

It is no longer a news on what FKD Production brings when it comes to entertainment. The company has established itself as one of the leading arena in Hausa film industry Kannywood.

The coming-of-age film tells the story of a teen-boy tries to find out who he is while facing obstacles at home and bullying at school.

We saw the songs. They all broke our hearts and left our ears in tears, but we loved it. Here are just five of the many reasons you have to see Mansoor when it releases in cinema.

1. The cinematography

Set in Kano and Abuja, but you can get lost in the visuals alone. With sweeping camera angles and really intensely intimate shots that vividly portray the protagonist's struggle to break free, the film is a visual masterpiece.

2. The cast

Mansoor is filled with amazing talented actors, including Ali Nuhu, Babballe Hayatu, Abba El-Mustapha and introduced two-genius, Maryam Yahaya and Umar M. Shareef. Every cast member portrays their assigned role perfectly. We have a feeling we will be hearing many of these names a lot more after the film is released.

3. Maryam Yahaya

Yes, we mentioned the rest of the cast, but we have to give Maryam her own shout-out. We didn't think it was possible to love her even more. Well, seeing Mansoor video songs has officially debunked that theory. Not only is her acting spot on, her character is super lovable too. And she totally slays in the romantic flick like Nafisa Abdullahi in Sai Wata Rana.

4. It is an important story

Everyone needs to see this movie. It's a heart-wrenching coming-of-age story of a human being facing bullying at school, his society and in-laws...all while trying to figure out his own identity, too. So, yeah—it's emotionally a lot. It sheds light on the topic of queerness and masculinity in the community, hopefully opening many doors for new talented actors.

5. Songs

FKD Production is known for producing quality soundtracks almost every time and that too of a musical extravaganza like; Sai Wata Rana, Madubin Dubawa, Adamsy, Sirrin Da Ke Raina, Halacci, Halwa and the last Gamu Nan Dai, that boasted to become super hit materials and considered as the best soundtracks till date, develops humongous expectations.

‘Mansoor’ comes with lots and lots of expectations on the musical front with tracks; Abin Da Yake Raina, Zan Rayu Da Ke, Makullin Zuciya, Macukule, Jirgin So Zai Tashi and Ya Mansoor Na are already on the road to become a hit.
