Tuan Danial

An arranged marriage that Tengku Ismahanim's family attempts to set up with an unknown young man named Danial prompts her to disguise herself as a housemaid. Danial is not the first man who has caused Tengku Ismahanim, or Is, to disguise herself as a housemaid. Is's disguise is to investigate the background and true character of the potential husbands proposed by her father, Tengku Khalil, but none of the candidates have succeeded in winning Is's heart until Is disguises herself as the housemaid of Tuan Danial's household. Unlike the men before him, although he appears somewhat arrogant and stern, Is is attracted to Tuan Danial because he does not rely too heavily on his housemaid. Various amusing incidents occur when Is disguises herself as Tuan Danial's housemaid because Is constantly disobeys his orders and she genuinely does not know how to work as a housemaid. However, gradually Tuan Danial begins to soften and becomes attracted to Is's clumsy but still endearing nature.

Directed by Idora Abdul Rahman, Tuan Danial leans on a strong ensemble — Idris Khan, Intan Najuwa, Luqman Hafidz — 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 2019.
