What exactly are India Hausa films?
India Hausa films are essentially Hindi films that have been digitally converted into Hausa by voice actors for the benefit of their large fan bases. Local media distribution merchants then distribute these films via online streaming and downloading platforms, or physically in the form of CDs.
The northern part of Nigeria has a higher rate of viewership for this unofficial genre of film. It is so desired and in demand by a large portion of the population that there are actual viewing centres in the region where these films are shown for a fee.
Every evening in the southwestern areas of Nigeria, particularly Lagos, a large number of Hausa-Fulani indigenes, particularly commercial motorbike riders and petty traders, congregate in their homes or leisure spots to eat and share snacks, beverages and other meals. In this situation, there is usually a television set somewhere in the crowd for the audience’s entertainment. An India Hausa movie is among the content shown on the TV set.
