Title: DARKNESS OF SORROW (1 – 3)
Starring: Van Vicker, Nadia Buari, Ecow Smith Asante
Synopsis:
A blind woman falls in love with a man that suddenly disappears from her life only to return at a later date to find her engaged to his best friend.
Review:
Kayla (Nadia Buari), a blind woman, met Charles by chance. There was an instant connection between them and shortly after, they fell in love.
Charles (Van Vicker) wanted Kayla to regain her sight and he generously paid for the surgery. The surgery was a success and on the day Kayla was to actually see Charles for the first time, he disappeared from her life. She waited for him at the hospital but he never showed.
Kayla subsequently became involved with Ken (Ekow Smith Asante), who was Charles’ best friend. Conflict surfaced when Charles reappeared after a long absence and couldn’t pick things up with Nadia where he last left off.
Let’s Talk. “Darkness of Sorrow” is a romantic drama about a blind woman’s love for a man she never actually saw. Their romance progressed fairly quickly and when Charles disappeared from her life it was because he was beat up and presumed dead. Months later he reappeared in a hospital having been in a coma.
When Kayla finally saw Charles for the first time ever she was engaged Ken (Smith Asante) who was Charles’ best friend. It wasn’t possible for her to recognize Charles visually but she did remember his voice and more importantly, his spirit. Charles denied that he knew her as to not interfere with her union with Ken.
Charles later confessed that he was the man Kayla once loved and although they still loved each other they decided to keep their past relationship in the dark for Ken’s sake.
As for comments, unfortunately, there were some holes in the story. Even though Charles and Ken were supposedly best friends, their relationship was hardly displayed in the movie which made the friendship feel convenient for story purposes. If they were best friends then how come Ken didn’t know that Charles was once engaged to Kayla? Also, it’s not clear why Charles moved into the house with Ken and Kayla. He had his own home prior to being attacked.
Furthermore, when Kayla suspected Charles was lying about his identity and then tried to find out more about him, why didn’t she just ask Ken? After all he was Charles’ best friend and he could have answered all of her questions.
As for performances, for the most part they were satisfactory. Nadia Buari’s interpretation of a blind woman was believable in spurts. Van Vicker played his part well and Ini Edo was credible playing Ken’s callous ex-girlfriend.
By the way, the music in this movie was great and was carefully selected so that the mood of each scene was appropriately conveyed. Overall, this is a romantic classic. RECOMMEND

Hi Philemon,
I’m not sure what parts of the movie you watched but Darkness of Sorrow has 3 parts and the 3rd part resolves the story. Did you see it online or do you have the DVD?
I really love this movie, it’s so touching and romantic and I just can’t get enough of it.
Hi Sam, I think it’s time for Nadia Buari and Van Vicker to star in another love story. People really love their chemistry. I was right when I labeled this movie a classic. I’m sure the filmmakers must be proud to know that this movie has been loved for so many years. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. 🙂

I really love this move but I want to know the ending part of it. Who is going to marry Kayla? CK or Ken.
Hi Gabi, based on comments there’s some sort of confusion about the story. I don’t remember the ending because I watched it so long ago. I will have to see it again to tell you.
owww i love this movie ck n kyler u d ur best part 3 i do not hv
Hi Zameka, it may be that the distributor of the movie I purchased broke the DVD into 3 parts and maybe distributors in other parts of the world divided it into 2 parts. That’s the only thing I can conclude after so many complaints from people who believe they are missing part 3. The industry needs to be more consistent with the marketing of movies.
Is there any other site that I can get the all three parts of the movie
Not that I know of. In terms of purchasing a DVD, it’s an old movie and most likely out of circulation. Try some of the movie steaming sites or Youtube.
Pls were can I see the full part 2 Pls I only wch part 1pls can some body tell me
I don’t understand whose wife will Kayla be at the end?
Hi Martin, it sounds like you are yet another person who is missing the last part of the movie. So sorry about that.
