U-Carmen eKhayelitsha is a 2005 South African operatic film directed and produced by Mark Dornford-May.

U-Carmen was translated into Xhosa by Andiswa Kedama and Pauline Malefane, who also play Amanda and Carmen in the movie, respectively.

The film's musical numbers were recorded live on the set without any additional dubbing.

Later, the cigarette girls are watching TV when they see that a singing star, Lulamile Nkomo, from their township is returning to the area for a special concert.

The police arrive to break up the fight; Jongikhaya takes Carmen into custody after she wounds Pinki with a knife.

However, Carmen convinces Jongikhaya to let her go in exchange for her love and promises to meet him later at a local bar.

Jongikhaya also arrives, although he is treated with hostility by the factory girls and the drug traffickers until Carmen vouches for him.

However, one night during a smuggling operation, he becomes jealous when Carmen is friendly towards another man and starts a fight.
