GADOH – The movie


Amrit got this DVD at the launch in Laundry, the Curve on Sunday. He brought it over to my place and we watched it over a couple of cold ones.
Directed by Brenda Danker and Namron, it is produced by Big Pictures Production for KOMAS, a Malaysian human rights organization.

Damn! This was an “In your face” movie about racial tension in our schools.

It did play along the lines of the movie, Freedom Fighters. (I had an earlier post on that one) The plot revolves around 2 school gangs (Malay and Chinese with the lone Indian kid stuck in the midst.) and how they work out their differences by the strength of their similarities.
The script was well written and the acting of most of the cast was decent if not good. It is nice to see Malaysians finally saying stuff on the big screen which they say everyday at the mamaks and kopitiams.

It’s truly worth all 70 minutes of your time.

Let me know what you think if you do find time to catch it. To watch the trailer check out their site:

I think it’s available via download as well.

Didn't Amrit complain that the Punjabi community was not represented in the film given that they are the biggest thugs around (*snigger*) . . .
