Netflix-streamed Kenyan film 40 Sticks carried the day at the Kalasha Awards gala with nine wins. This happened on Saturday night as Kalasha Awards celebrated 10 years since the gala was launched.

The drama action film, by top actress Sarah Hassan – and who has won the Best Lead Actress in a Film category in the same awards on numerous occasions – swept the board at the expense of Sincerely Daisy, Midlife Crisis, Family Meeting and Uradi, the other major films that had been tipped to pose a major challenge during the celebrations.
