Review : Jin Notti - Fantasy yet reality


As stated before, in this blog early of this month, I will give my review on this film, Papadom. Yet, my schedule is very packed with a lot of activities and so time constraining. I met some difficulties in finding cinemas that have released Papadom via wide screen.

Eventually, I just had TWO choices. Either Jin Notti or Momok The Movie. Luckily, Jin Notti is chosen. Not because of Mawi. Neither Farah Fauzana. This is another film produced by the siblings, KRU. But Yusry is not the director. Azhari Zain had given a chance by the trios to direct this movie.


I chose this film because of the theme. Fantasy. When reality meets fantasy. Futhermore, Mawi is the King sensation from fantasy mainstream. So far, I can't find this type of story or any similiarity from this movie in any dramas on TV. The story-line is quite unique, plus the CGI elements are very impressive.

Well done! I got the feeling. I felt that I was part and parcel of the genie's world. The quote; the worst human in the world is at the same level with the most pious genie. (Sejahat-jahat manusia itu sebaik-baik jin). And the story begins.

Notti, a female genie plays by FF. The character is not so challenging but Farah still can give her emotion. I can feel how was to be blamed and waiting for the punishment. Even Notti is a good genie but Notti was sentenced to 'death'. Death means to become human forever.

For three times Notti had a chance being and acting as human in three different characters. There, in the world she met Ajiz (featuring Mawi as his debut acting) for three times at three different places.

Mawi's acting quite stiff but can be improved from time to time. Mawi did the battle scene by himself and it's proven that Mawi can be a future Malay hero with full of charisma especially in Silat and reciting Al-Quran.

The chemistry between Mawi and Fafau is good but not perfect. The most annoying person in the movie of coz lah Jinbara that acted by Cat Farish. The most annoying moment is when he "correct" his stomach and smell it. Yuck! And the impressive character and still remained in my mind is Indian Lawyer that played by Betty Banafe.

Overall, it's a fun movie. It's worth to watch at cinema because you can't watch this fantasy movie abaout genie in any dramas on TV.

p/s: Papadom??? Tungguuuuuuuuuuuuuuu~
