If you thought June was going to be all rain and routine, Nollywood is here to prove you wrong — and possibly glue you to your screen. From gritty crime tales to high-stakes political thrillers and emotional dramas, this month’s lineup is stacked with films that demand your full attention (and maybe a group chat discussion right after the credits roll).
Here are the top Nollywood movies lighting up cinemas and conversations this June:
⸻
🔥 1. The Fire and the Moth
Genre: Crime Drama
Mood: Dark, Dangerous, and Addictive
Step into the underbelly of the city where temptation dances dangerously close to destruction. The Fire and the Moth explores obsession, betrayal, and the cost of chasing something that could burn you alive. With bold cinematography and a storyline that keeps twisting till the final scene, this one’s perfect for fans of slow-burn thrillers with a fiery payoff.
⸻
🔴 2. Red Circle
Genre: Political Thriller
Mood: Suspenseful, Smart, and Uncomfortably Real
If House of Cards had a Nigerian passport, it’d look a lot like Red Circle. This political thriller pulls no punches — diving deep into the corruption, power plays, and backroom deals that shape the nation. With every scene dripping with tension, it’ll have you questioning who’s really in control… and if the good guys even exist. Buckle up — this ride has no seatbelts.
⸻
👑 3. Iyalode
Genre: Drama
Mood: Cultural, Bold, and Heartfelt
Looking for something soulful? Iyalode is a powerful story of womanhood, tradition, and resilience set against a richly woven Yoruba backdrop. It’s the kind of film that stays with you — beautifully acted, emotionally grounded, and fiercely Nigerian. Don’t be surprised if it inspires a tear… or a TikTok monologue.
