A star is born amongst our family circle! At least that is how we perceive it. After waiting for many months with bated breath, thanks to our friendly DVD peddlers at Econsave, we finally laid hands on the latest local flick that hit the cinemas -Lagenda Budak Setan.My brother in law landed a small albeit an important role in the movie at the tail end of the show. He played the role of a doctor who was the bearer of bad news. He acted well in his role - a role that he performed well in his daily life- a doctor! Personally, I thought he did his part convincingly well, it was not half as bad! He delivered his lines (but with voice overs) pretty well - not the standard standing still and rattling off the lines with no emotions as we are quite often used to in most local movies. You can a glimpse of his performance in the following snippet @ 6:45 mark. The lip sychronising seem to have been done pretty well.

In addition to his debut performance, his home was also a star of sorts as it was used as a shooting location as one of the actresses' home in the movie. See below at around #8:00 mark!

Overall, the movie was an above average melodramatic fare. Anyway it grossed more than 50 times in budget! One plus point was its cinematography - we could not believe that such picturesque sceneries could be captured here in Malaysia! The director of the movie was one Sharad Sharan (a buddy of my brother-in-law) and the post production work (editing, mixing, etcetera) was done in Bollywood.
That is it. Another masala to spice up our lives - another happening, another milestone, another event and another day to add sparkle to our illustrious journey of life!
