Mama Tak Akan Sama

An only child who was very close to his mother cannot accept the reality that he has lost her in the blink of an eye. His father, Fawas, is also at a loss with Jihan's attitude. Although the accident happened two years ago, Jihan is still depressed. Fawas tries various ways to cheer up Jihan and make him return to his former self. However, nothing works until Fawas meets Nasha who bears a striking resemblance to his late wife, Aleeya. They get acquainted and fall in love with each other. One day Fawas brings Nasha to meet Jihan to introduce her as his future stepmother. Jihan is shocked when he sees Nasha who looks so much like his mother's face that tears stream down his face. Nasha becomes confused and tries to console Jihan. Fawas tells Nasha that Jihan is struggling with depression following his mother's passing. Nasha then realizes she resembles Aleeya's face.

Directed by Nizam Zakaria, Mama Tak Akan Sama leans on a strong ensemble — Idris Khan, Nadiyah Shahab, Fara Nadiah — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2018.
