Romance films are a popular genre worldwide, influencing the perceptions and behaviors of audiences, particularly teenagers.

In Nigeria, the accessibility of Nollywood and foreign romance films has amplified their impact on teenage relationships (Adamu & Ibrahim, 2023). In Gaya Local Government Area, Kano State, the prevalence of these films among teenagers presents a unique lens to explore their influence on relationship expectations and communication patterns, as well as their alignment with cultural norms.
