‘The Little Mermaid’: Halle's Musical Debut Rockets to $400+ Million Dollar Box Office

The events of the film revolve around Adham Al-Gabalawy (Hussein Al-Sherbini), who controls the people of his town and aspires to marry a woman after the death of her husband, but she rejects him and repulses him. As a result, Adham decides to expel her and her young children from the town, and that woman suffers and struggles in raising her children as they grow up. The two children, one of whom, Rajab (Al-Shahat Mabrouk), is obsessed with the idea of taking revenge on that unjust man.

In the film adaptation, director Jon M. Chu turns each musical number into a massive show stopper, with grand set pieces and a wealth of diverse dancers.

An action-packed adrenaline rush with a diverse cast that delivers evocative storytelling.
