With a humongous budget for Malaysian standards of RM6 million, Pulang is one of the most advertised and most ambitious film coming from the country, in a mainstream approach that seems to draw as much as possible from Hollywood aesthetics. Let us take things from the beginning though.
The script is based on an actual love story that begun in Malaysia during the 30’s and stretched for more than six decades, although the director took a number of liberties with it, as the actual footage in the finale of the film suggests. This love story begins in 1939, in Serkam, Malacca, and revolves around Othman, a local fisherman who falls in love with Thom, a girl who visits the place in order to take care of her dying grandmother. The two of them fall in love instantly, and after a while, they get married, despite the fact that both are very poor.
