On Friday, November 14th, was a night of glitz and glamour as many celebrities made their way down to the Red carpet and flaunted their dresses in all smiles.
They posed for photos together and with their fans, before heading inside the Silverbird Cinemas in Accra Mall for the premier of the much talked movie ‘Happy Deathday’.
Among the celebrities that graced the red carpet were, Kafui Danku, Elikem Kumordzie, Alexx Ekubo, James Gardner, Stonebwoy, Toosweet Annan, Salma Mumuni, Vivian Achor, Nana Ama McBrown, Nii Soul, Ben Brako, Roseline Ngesar, Pascal Amanfo and many more others.
The movie attracted a number of patrons into the Silverbird Cinemas (Accra Mall)auditorium in all the two screenings – from 6:20pm and 9:20pm and per the response of viewers, the movie with its extraordinary story line was an interesting movie to watch and also watch again.
‘Happy Deathday’ would receive its second screening today, Saturday November 15th, at the Silverbird Cinemas in Kasoa to other movie lovers who could not make it yesterday.
‘Happy Deathday’ , mimicking the usual happy birthday message offered to celebrants is about a vice president’s only child whose friends decide to throw him a surprise birthday bash for him but not before ponding him. In a twisted fate of events, the four friends end up killing, oh sorry putting the birthday boy in a coma.
Unknown to the 4 friends, their birthday boy was not dead but in unstable condition whereupon the film takes viewers on a trip to various drop spots before an agreement was reached to bury ALEXX EKUBO (Umar Karim) the birthday boy in a forest.

In the end, it was only a dream, whereupon the viewers shouted: “what kind of dream is that”. Perhaps the ending could have been constructed differently but the audience could not get enough of the comic expressions and deeds in the movie, they kept on laughing indicating that they were having a jolly good time.
It has to be said that Kobi Rana did an impressive job directing the movie, the poolside scenes involving hot dripping damsels and contoured men is gripping so are the shots involving the birthday boy in the casket. Locations are aptly chosen depicting plush residences and lush green scenes.
Panning shots especially the scene where birthday boy urges his lover not to commit suicide capturing overhead layout of the road and homes is testament to Kobi Rana’s growth as a director. The movie also scores high in the make-up department, making the chicks look even more beautiful. Uses of flashbacks are neatly done.
Elikem de Taylor digs deep to portray his character, a stubborn cocaine snorting youth who loves to face issues head on with little consideration for self-doubt or regrets. James Gardiner does well with his portrayal of a drinking addict. Kafui herself, the girlfriend of the comatose guy does not disappoint in capturing the essence of her role.
Stonebwoy does not fare badly; Nana Ama McBrown provides a different twist to her acting abilities when she dresses as a tomboy in hip-hop attires in addition to riding a bike.
‘Happy Deathday’ is a self-produced movie from the actress cum producer Kafui Danku and it comes after the success of her debut self-produced movie – Devil in a Dress.
Kafui Danku has been awarded with ‘The best supporting Actress’ of the year at this years City People Entertainment Awards and the ‘Entertainment Person of the Year’ award at the All Africa Media Networks Awards in Accra.
This is another quality product from the stables of ABC Pictures. Feast on some of the photos from the event here!
