The Judith Audu EVI cinema turnout appeal comes as anticipation builds following a well-received premiere that has generated positive word of mouth.

Audu emphasised that the film is worth the time and financial commitment of audiences, while also inviting bulk ticket purchases for group viewings across different locations.

Her message reflects a broader push within Nollywood to strengthen theatrical attendance at a time when streaming platforms continue to compete for audience attention.

EVI is a musical drama directed by Uyoyou Adia and produced by Audu herself. The story follows Evi-Oghene Donalds, a talented but arrogant rising music star whose career collapses after her record label fails.

Forced to rebuild her life, she takes on modest jobs while navigating personal challenges and professional setbacks.

The narrative also explores the journey of a troubled former talent manager battling addiction, as both characters confront their pasts in a bid to rediscover purpose and success.

The film features a cast including Osas Ighodaro, Uzor Arukwe, Omowunmi Dada, Ibrahim Suleiman, Waje Iruobe, Tomiwa Tegbe and Femi Branch.
