Panggilan Subuh

The story follows Fariq, a nightclub bouncer who returns home at dawn every day. Because of his job dealing with crowds, he needs deep sleep during the day. In Fariq's residential area, there is an abandoned prayer room (surau). One day, the sound of the call to prayer is heard from the surau. Many residents are surprised by the arrival of Ustaz Danial, who has just returned from Syria. He is offered to become the imam of the surau and is given a residence next to Fariq's house. Since then, activities at the surau have become active again while Fariq finds his sleep disturbed. Fariq's rest time is frequently interrupted, causing his work performance to decline. To ease his mind, Fariq drives around the residential area and only returns home when the dawn prayer sermon is finished. Fariq often runs into a hijab-wearing woman named Dania who walks home. It turns out Dania is also a nightclub worker who is in the process of changing for the better.

Directed by Kyoll Hamzah, Panggilan Subuh leans on a strong ensemble — Redza Rosli, Puteri Aishah, Saiful Zelwany dan Hilmy Ashley — 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 2016.
