Magika

The first movie of the year and it has to be a Malay movie. Hahahaha... No matter, it's a great movie by KRU productions and the directorial debut of Edry KRU. Plus it's a musical with a star studded cast of Malaysian singers.

There's my all time favorite KRU, Ziana Zain, Mawi, Ning Baizura and M Nasir. There's also the cast of Scenario, Saiful Apek, Aznil, lovely Maya Karin and my hot favourite girl, Sharifah Amani.

Brother and sister, Malik and Ayu had a querrel and Malik ran off into the woods. He accidentally dropped into the well. Ayu was sent to search for his brother and attempted to rescue her brother from the well, but encountered similar faith as her brother.

Both siblings ended up in a magical world of Magika, populated by folks of Malay legends. Malik was kidnapped by Nenek Kebayan (Witch) while Ayu befriended Bad (Badang) in search of her brother.

A colorful world of musical based on Malay folk story. Funny and quirky characters and some catchy tunes.
