It was a random decision to watch this movie, and without much expectation to be honest, since in my mind at that moment, it would be yet another "typical Malay love drama". But I was proven wrong. The efforts that Nik Amir Mustapha and his team had taken to produce this film can be felt just by enjoying this film.
Yes, this love tale isn't new. The idea isn't 100% fresh. But having the "Malaysian colours and flavours" in crafting this "expected" storyline somehow makes it "different" and worthy of praise. The quality of the script, casting and shots is indeed commendable. It does give you "goosebumps" that this film is indeed made by Malaysians.
I do wish it was slightly longer. Ironically, some parts seem draggy but at the same time you could feel like the film ends rather abruptly. There are of course weaknesses here and there but on the whole, it's a love story that not only touches your heart but opens up your mind on various issues especially those concerning family and relationships.
Malaysians should go watch this movie. Support!
