Review - Demi Adriana - Telemovie

It very rare that a local malay novel been turn into a movie. This time mediacorp suria decide to make a telemovie out of a novel by Hafeez Glamour.

Hafeez Glamour is a radio DJ at Ria 89.7fm. This is his first time writing a novel.

To tell the truth I have not read the book. I just read the synopsis of the book only. It look interesting enough to get the book and read it.

Back to the telemovie, it uses local actors  as the main stars. To me they make a mistake casting the lead actor and actress. The lead actor is play by Singapore first idol winner Taufik Batisah. He seem needed help in the acting department. His expression kinda doesn't portray well on TV. For the lead actress I have no words! Seriously what were they thinking of casting her. 

The supporting cast is not bad but the guy who play the lead actor love rival don't have that charisma that require him to be the one who gonna steal the girl heart.

It a 1.5 hrs telemovie plus commercial . So it kinda too short to get into the main story. They straight go to the main story the moment it start. So there lots of missing parts in the story. The build up is not there and end up no one really know why he and her break off. It just too fast that end up the whole story is just missing the feel.

The ending will make you cry too as it not what you expected it to be. It a story which will not have a continuous in next book.

Best to read the book before watch the show!
