When worlds collide, love becomes war.

The Story

A celebration of cultural fusion, nostalgic storytelling, and the universal language of love and family, a story that feels familiar, yet refreshingly new.

Eyimofe and Isioma Fregene were the toast of Lagos society, a billionaire power couple whose love story captivated a generation. Then, quietly, it ended. Years later, their daughter Aurora's wedding pulls them back into the same room, the same memories, the same unfinished sentence.

From acclaimed director Mildred Okwo and producer Nicolette Ndigwe-Kalu, On Different Grounds is a sweeping romantic comedy that bridges Lagos and Mumbai, the first Nollywood-Bollywood collaboration helmed by a Nigerian filmmaker.
