Budak Kelantan

Last Saturday, Mr H suggested we go and watch Budak Kelantan movie or as said in TGV IVR, Kelantan Boys. He he he... I don't realize they actually translate the movie title if we selected English as our preferred language. I bet you all would be saying we go and watch the movie because we are from Kelantan then you are totally right. We went to watch it at TGV Sunway Pyramid together with my younger sister. There were not so many patrons. I guess because of the language used in the movie. Not many people can understand Kelantanese dialect. So if anyone of you still interested to watch it, you may do so as there are translation in Bahasa Malaysia & English.

Anyway, back to the movie. I'm not going to give any review... Just on my opinion. Don't worry. The movie is all about 3 main characters. Azhar (best known as Jaha), Buchek and Nor. Jaha is the bad character in the movie. His life is more on western side. Has been Americanized (ada ke word cam ni?). He raped and sell women / girls. His dialogue was this, "Rezeki aku murah ngan perempuan ni". So drank cough syrup just like normal drink, pil kuda, belasah orang... that's what he do.

Buchek is the good one. Too good to be true though! And I'm wondering, ada lagi jejaka cam ni? Mesti ada, cuma susah nak jumpa I guess. He never fail to perform solat in whatever situation he is in. He has a girlfriend named Nor. The relationship was a serious one. So one day, he met Jaha. Jaha was his childhood friend. Jaha since kid was a problem one. He was sent to Henry Gurney. And never thought of leaving all the bad things behind. He was comfortable at his current state. Since they were apart for almost 13 years, Jaha invited Buchek to sleep over at his house. He introduce cough syrup and gambling to Buchek. He tried to kidnap a girl for a purpose of rape but Buchek has let the girl go. He was so pissed of for what Buchek has done. He hitted and left him in the middle of road.

Unsatisfied that he cannot get a girl, he went out and saw a girl he liked. He flirt with the girl but the girl get so irritated wit h him. And yes, that girl is Buchek's girl, Nor. Nor was so angry when Buchek invited Jaha for a drink and not showing any emotion of anger because Jaha tried to woo her. During that scene, it is so obvious Jaha wanted Nor so much. He kept on looking at Nor and Buchek realized this. When they went back home, Jaha called Buchek he was sorry he left him and sorry he has mistakenly wooed Nor. And as I said Buchek was the good one, forgave him. He even persuaded Nor to be Jaha's girl much. Of course Nor rejected the proposal.

In the midst of persuading Nor to accept Jaha, so much had happened and one fine day, Jaha was wanted by police and he was chased until he met with an accident which has cost him his life. Buchek was like telling Nor that he was like a bug (Jaha) chasing a light (Nor) to become a better person. Unfortunately, the light refused to light somebody's else life.

In a way, it is quite a good movie as it is a first attempt by the Director.

My opinion.. the scenario not necessarily happened to Kelantanese. It can happen to everyone. But there were some typical Kelantanese attitude in the movie. All in all, I gave 3 stars out of 5.
