Daulat

The storyline was a bit slow n the ending is boring

Nice cast but entire premise is laughable. the script was juvenile and the ending is boring AF

This movie for me, is pretty good, it's kinda catchy for the real life timelines, apparently it's not realistic enough due to Malaysian hypersensitivities, but I say it's a good try that they made this movie, it is something I do looking forward into..

However here's the catch, the ending wasn't really matched up for the idea.. I mean it's a good idea that having a female prime minister, but nah the storyline doesn't match up. It's just showing how women are more in control just like in one cent thief.

But for the script, it is unique and relatable.

Such as : "They look forward to my privacy when they don't even see the results for the nation ive done"

"Only the true evil ones will held power, and the goods should take notes from us"

It's a something inodinary from Malaysian entertainment, at least it ain't something like overly dramatic marriage over poor Vs rich people.

There were a lot of roadblocks in producing this movie especially on getting it approved by LPF. But I am glad it is finally released, via iflix instead. Daulat, a movie that is totally different from other normal Malaysian movies in terms of its genre and storyline. There are a lot of areas for improvements but we cannot deny that Daulat is indeed one of the best Malaysian movie thus far.

The first thing that bugged me is the opening. It opened like a typical MCU movies which sets a not so right tone to the genre. And yes, it has a credit scene too! which is unnecessary. Reminded me of my primary school essay where we have to sum up the story with proverbs.

In terms of technical aspect, its quite good for a local movie standard. They got the colours and the camera right but there is something wrong with the movie FPS, it just doesn't feel 24fps. Editing is just good enough, although I can see sometimes the editor tries hard to make a scene intense but ended up looking awkward. Now the big problem, the musical score. It's loud and doesnt quite fit to the movie and unnecessary at times. Come on la it's a political drama, the score should be minimised especially during serious scene.

The story is alright. Although, the script can be awkward at times but it served it purpose. Basically it's a political drama with a twist of your typical Malay drama sub plot. Not a bad thing but it's dragged out then it should have been. The main plot is there, it just a little bit too straightforward and simple. Not political enough I guessed? It can be engaging but the movie is surprisingly fast. I see their targeting mass audience but they set the movie in different tone than I expected it to be for a political drama. The twist is well...

Acting deserved a praised here. Vanidah Imran did a good job playing a fierce and strong woman. Gotta give her point for grabbing someone's dick, that's acting. The whole cast doing fine except Rashidi Ishak, his line delivery is just eh?

Overall it's quite enjoyable to see. Not a bad try at all.
