Plot

The storyline tracks six intertwined personal stories and struggles leading up to the 14th historic general election in Malaysia on 9 May 2018 when the ruling coalition Barisan Nasional lost its 61 years long grip on power and corrupt prime minister Najib Razak was deposed. It was people's revolt made possible through the unity and determination of its people and not the elected politicians.[4][5]

Reception

Rise: Ini Kalilah received overwhelmingly negative reviews and was a box office bomb. It grossed only RM58,411 after 14 days in the theaters despite a production budget of RM2 million, an ensemble cast and the best effort of the new government to promote it.
