'Ori' is like this big deal in Yoruba cinema, and it's not just because it was a hit. The movie told a story that a lot of people found relatable and deep. It's about destiny and fate — stuff that people often think about, ya know? The way it was crafted really struck a chord with audiences, and Muyiwa Ademola's role made it even more impactful.

I read somewhere that it was one of the films that put Yoruba cinema on the map because it did so well both locally and internationally. Winning awards and all, 'Ori' showed the real potential of Nigerian films beyond its borders. It's super sick seeing how a single film can inspire others, play a hand in evolving the industry, and still have folks obsessed with a remaster two decades later.

The fact that people still talk about it and want to see a remake proves that some movies are timeless. They resonate across generations, and Muyiwa's ability to tap into those themes is some real skill!
