Malaysian politics and particularly the corruption surrounding them was not exactly a topic that could be touched upon the previous years, when censorship was quite intense (Dain Said’s “Dukun” was one of the most prominent “victims”). Since 2018 however and “Crossroads: One Two Jagga”, the possibility of taking a look at the issues of corruption in the country through cinema has become a reality, and “Daulat” definitely takes advantage of that, as the intro so eloquently “denies”.

Anton Shaw (Tony Eusoff) is an unlicensed private detective working under tutelage of his boss Dan Humsey (Megat Sharizal) who chides him for making careless decisions — mainly trusting people and things too much in their profession. So he’s still not happy when Anton accepts an astoundingly lucrative job to find missing college student Lamya Sheridan (Juria Hartmans) by her estranged wealthy foreign mother. The case is further complicated by several factors: the fact she seemed to have no real friends or close connections; the fact that people who did have some connection to her life didn’t seem to have very good ones; and worst of all the recurring visions of the nightmarish (perhaps literally so), vaguely demonic “Hidden Ones” including one known only as The Gaunt Man (Radhi Khalid). Then there’s ex-cop turned loner Shotgun Sheldon (Jay Sheldon), who may or may not be involved in the...

Malaysian drama film, “Rise Ini Kalilah” has been picked up by Netflix and will go to air from Feb. 26. The film released in Malaysian theaters and in Singapore in September.
Involving six intertwined fictional tales, “Rise” documents personal stories and struggles in the build up to last year’s historic general election in Malaysia.
