Sometime last year in 2010, a tv series titled Nur Kasih literally blew the small screen in Malaysia and became such a big hit in a lot of household. Obviously, the next step for the production team is to churn out the movie based on its popularity. But then, after I went to watch the film recently, I was left a bit frustrated. Admittedly, the main characters were good and in certain scenes they were almost excellent. They feel real to me and it was good to see Adam, Aidil & Nur Amina in action again. But the storyline? honestly, nothing much to shout about. It feels like the writer tried to crammed as much bits and pieces to make the storyline plausible without clear flow of what was they trying to convey. Oh well, there are some good bits in the film like, how you would fight and do everything you can for the person you love. But, some sub-plot were given too much time like, realistically, how many man would go back to the scene of train wreck in the desert and try to find their wife's lost wedding ring there? I suppose, as compared to watching the tv series every week; the series felf more crisp, less-nonsense and the suspense gave much stronger impact to viewer. Even when they only run for much shorter (1 hr/week), but each week you were left wanting more. And in the series, there were many additional characters whom had gave impact to the story and also shaped the main characters to what became of them in the end (Remember Sarah? Nur Amina's spoilt & wicked little sister). Where as, the movie was basically revolved around the 3 main characters (4, if you count their mother). And beside their good acting, you were left wondering, is that all the story is about?
However, don't let my opinion stopping you from going to watch Nur Kasih the movie. For all i know, you might disagree with all i said above. But, nothing makes me happier knowing you can now can sleep better after had your dose of that Malay hunk actor; Remy Ishak.
