Movie Review : Estet

The movie i accidentally stumbled upon while browsing through ASTRO was called Estet. its a Malaysian film with all the races in it. Kinda of a shocker that they actually came up with this cause there isn't much of mixed raced people in a movie in Malaysia.

Anyways this movies was taken in a rubber plantation estet where the story basically is about the young men in the estet of Cinta Manis where they would have to go through a football match against the Black Cobra Eset because the villain of the movie which is Pooniah decided that if they Cinta Manis estet football team loses, the coach would have to give his daughter, Geetha(Jasmine Michael) * because she is very pretty and i think the prettiest girl in that estet.
to pay up his RM30,000 debt that he owns Ponniah. Other than that, some of the team members which comprises of a Micheal Jackson wannabe, a jakie chan wannabe, a transgender, a severely cross eyed black man in the team (Cinta Manis that is) whereas the opposition team included a scrawny man who was the leader and a few bih sized guys which were obliviously the bad people too. so, in order for estet cinta manis to lose Ponniah creates conflicts for that team and also paying the opposition team to make sure they beat cinta manis estet team. but in the end everything turns out well for cinta manis who would win everything they were fighting for. You will also be awed when the movie characters break into a singing and dancing scene. The love between Farid & Geetha was cute especially when he tries to woe her. I would also agree on why they picked the actress who played Geetha because she is so pretty and acted kinda good too :)

Now for the Pro's and Con's for this movie.

PRO'S
1. It was good to see a multiracial love affair in this movie
2. a great concept of bringing all the characters of different races in one movie, it proves that they still believe in racial harmony.
3. Malaysian big time actors like, Rosyam Nor,Shoffi Jikan, Dato’ David Arumugam and Farid Kamil actually considered acting this movie.
4. Farid Kamil actually speaks Tamil where he would recite a poem for his girlfriend
5. The dialogues were hilarious that's i can promise you.
6. Rosyam Nor's acting was I think the funniest role that he has ever played, kudos to that.

CON'S
1. The special effects done were very oblivious. it looked unreal when the men were dribbling the ball and bouncing it on their head.
2. The Indian people spoke very funny bahasa melayu, although fluent but the slang was very fake-ish, i don't know whether they really spoke like that but i found it fake.
3. Cinta Manis team manage to score up to 17 points in a very short time.
4. Some characters does unusual actions, that normal people wouldn't do. and most of them looked very awkward when talking.
5. encourages suicide when they think there is no way out of a problem.
6. The voices , music and words in the songs were quite awful.
