Abubakar Gambo Walarab

Right from the start, Alaqa is a thrilling show filled with suspense. Ali Nuhu’s direction is spot-on as he shows us how shaken the Alfindiki family is by the crisis that dawned upon them. Furthermore, the show takes its time to reveal the plot and the truth with everything that is going on.

Veteran actor Tahir Fagge plays the role of Alhaji Saleh Alfindiki, the wealthy patriarch of the Alfindiki family.

Sadiq Ahmad plays the role of Audu Luluwa, a rival of the Alfindiki family who seeks to bring the family down.

Ali Nuhu himself plays the role of the Alfindiki family lawyer. The show also has a great supporting cast that contributes a lot to the progression of the story.

Alaqa Review

Alaqa is a well-produced series. It incorporates modern cinematography and the quality is great. The production team did a good job with the production design. Cosmetics, locations, and props fit well into the narrative.

The soundtrack and theme songs fit well with the visuals and the sound editing is of good quality.

The series suffers from a pacing issue though. So many scenes are unnecessary and mostly made of filler content that does nothing to progress the plot. A lot of the scenes could be cut out from the final product and still won’t affect the story in any way. Some scenes are over-dramatized and do nothing but waste time with slow-motion effects.

Poor editing is another weakness of the series. Most scenes do not reach a natural stopping point before they are cut off. There is a lot of jumping to and fro between multiple scenes in the same act. This is evident right from the first episode.

Conclusion

Alaqa is an ongoing web series on Youtube created and directed by Ali Nuhu that tells the story of the wealthy Alfindiki family and the crises they go through. It also focuses on the rivalry between Audu Luluwa and the Alfindiki family as he seeks to bring them down.

It is a modern and contemporary take on the wealthy in our society. It explores themes of business, family, societal values, rape, and abuse.
