Plot
editThe movie is about two best friends Bella (Maya Karin) and Intan (Nur Fazura) who go on vacation on a cruise ship. During the vacation, Bella searches for a rich husband which eventually leads her to Datuk Hisham (Eizlan Yusof), while Intan becomes involved with Ari (Aaron Aziz) in a murder case of the well known Datuk Zakaria Hitam (Rahim Razali).
Development
editA collaboration by Red Films and Primeworks Studios, the movie is written by Rafidah Abdullah (host of TV3's teen-oriented current affairs programme 3R and writer for Gol & Gincu). She has contributed towards a movie that is bound to create controversy in certain quarters. However, as the director has told the press, "People should watch and value the movie themselves because a quality movie will go beyond the superficial elements and entertain nevertheless."[5]
