(1/2) “Kenapa DAULAT tayang kat iFlix dan bukan Netflix?”
1. Netflix cuma akan beli filem ni kalau ramai yang tonton
2. Tapi DAULAT takleh masuk pawagam sebab stuck kat LPF
3. Cara untuk filem ni pergi lebih jauh ialah tayang di iFlix dan dapatkan seramai penonton yang boleh
We are experiencing a renaissance of Malaysian movies in 2018.

Last night my daughter suggested that we tried out HAUNTU at The Linc KL. I declined, thinking it’s like other conventional haunted house attractions I’ve been to.
Turns out it’s an immersive experience where you can interact, role play + ‘solve’ the hauntings. Will try it soon!
ENCANTO. I think this is one of the best films that beautifully summed up what family dynamics is all about. All families are imperfect. But it’s in these imperfections that make everything so perfect.
