Malaysia's first gay-themed romance film a box-office hit

Assalamualaikum wbt dan Salam 1 Malaysia,

Tajuk tu memang aku copy paste bulat-bulat dari website HeraldSun. Aku dapat link nie pon sebab ada budak lam twitter Re-tweet link dia. Walaupun aku tak berkesempatan nak tengok "cerita" yang dilaporkan, tapi sedikit sebanyak aku percaya, rata-rata berpendapat cerita "itu" membuka dimensi lain dalam perfileman Melayu kita. Oh ye ke? jom baca sat!

The Malay-language movie, called Dalam Botol, or In a Bottle, grossed slightly more than 1 million ringgit ($330,000) in its first five days, recouping its production and marketing costs of 970,000 ringgit ($320,000), said Raja Azmi Raja Sulaiman, who wrote and produced the film.

The movie depicts a Muslim man who has a sex change operation because he believes it will please his male lover, but his effort ends in heartbreak for both of them. Some gay rights advocates have called it an unfairly negative portrayal of gay and transgender people.

Part of the movie's financial success is likely due to intense advance publicity, including earlier speculation that the government-run film censorship board might ban it.

Boleh tak aku nak cakap, perghhhh gempaq siot!! Filem Melayu kita di review oleh omputeh! Dasyat2, kepada produser ngan pengarah cerita nie, aku nak ucapkan tahniah la ye! Rasanya RM 1 juta yang dikutip boleh naik lagi kot.. 

Nasib baik tajuk nya ditukar kalau tak:

Anu Dalam Botol a.k.a Penis in Bottle?
