This is the one that woke Malaysian cinema out of its prolonged box-office slump. A crowd-pleasing musical romantic melodrama (based on the unrequited-love hit song "Isabella") which nevertheless has serious themes about religious tolerance, it's well-written and well-directed. The beauty of Terengganu state and the haunting "ulek mayang" song are well-exploited, too. As is usual with Malaysian movies there are limitations to do with budget and technical aspects, but they can be forgiven for delivering a good story.

Very nicemovie
greekdx25 August 2023
One of the nicest Malaysian movie I have seen very long ago - more than 19015 years ago with much interest hat made me a strong impact, Simple with quite lots of emotions. Two legendary singers namely Nasir and Amy Search in the actors role present tow members of a rock singer group and help a Malaysian born British women to search a saman and older gardener of her family home in Terengganu.
The story is simple with no twists and finally with a bad finale. I liked also the ulek mayang song in the end that made me cry. The other I remember is with Amy doing a good job in the movie . Movie was with English subtitles
9/10.
