The entire film is painstakingly shot on 35 mm film format for authenticity, within a 45 day span. You’ll be treated with the breathtaking splendor of pristine beaches and hypnotic blue ocean.

You don’t have to be a hapless romantic to be swept away by this well-acted and superbly directed feature film by OSMAN ALI. Over in MALAYSIA, author FAUZIAH ASHARI is beaming now, when her much anticipated screen adaptation is making the same waves. The Asian Chinese community will swear that the famed Taiwanese novelist CHUNG YAO who, to this day, have had all of her literary works on doomed romances transcribed on the giant screen.

(sound familiar)? “OMBAK RINDU” is supremely MALAY in its fine offering, and stripped of its outer layer, is faithfully translated as “LOVE AMID THE CRASHING WAVES”. Heaven forbid, it’s as though the ripples of the heart will “go on and on”. “OMBAK RINDU” is one such gem that will touch your soul deeply. What’s life without love? Nothing, really. In that film, when the screen character Sam sings “the world will always welcome lovers” with a sad, soulful gusto, we hum along with the beat, beseeching ourselves that this world will forever be open to torrid romances. Surely you must have watched the ultimate movie classic “CASABLANCA” if you are a die-hard romantic. BRONT PALARAE is MAEL, a typical KAMPONG BUDDY who carries an unrequited torch for IZZAH. Of all pains, the greatest pain is to love, but love in vain. She demonstrates what it is like to be a WOMAN SCORNED. MILA (LISA SURHANI) wants things her way. HARRIZ (AARON AZIZ) is RICH, SPOILED and ARROGANT. MAYA KARIN plays IZZAH, a Kampong gal who goes to the big city and finds LOVE, MARRIAGE and ANGST.
