KL Menjerit 1

Ku Izham is a lonely, quiet guy, trying to adjust to life working in Kuala Lumpur. Whilst he has found a job and has quite a stable life, he does not feel content. Until one day…. he meets a beautiful naïve girl Khatijah, a lonely girl who has a secret so deep that she takes drugs to forget her past. Ku doesn’t know of her shady past and thinks that he has found one good thing in his miserable life. He goes back to his hometown and tries to convince his best friend, Shahrul to come to KL with him. Shahrul refuses, wanting to stay in Perlis rather than face the hectic life of the city. Ku is disappointed but keeps trying to persuade Shahrul, even though deep down he is not too sure why he is lying about this so called “good life” in the city.

Directed by Bade Hj. Azmi, KL Menjerit 1 leans on a strong ensemble — Rosyam Nor, Erra Fazira, Que Haidar — 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 drama titles of 2005.
