KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 4 \u2014 September is already shaping up to be a big month for entertainment, with Malaysian productions making a strong showing in cinemas and streaming platforms.<\/p>\n
Local action movie Chelot shot to No. 1 at the Malaysian box office, overtaking Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which now sits in second place.<\/p>\n
Directed by Adrian Teh, Chelot stands out for its commitment to practical filmmaking, with around 95 per cent of the film’s action created using practical effects and limited CGI.<\/p>\n
From explosive set pieces to\u00a0bullet-hit effects, the film places a strong emphasis on realism and physicality \u2014 an approach that appears to be paying off at the box office, where it has already grossed RM1.1 million.<\/p>\n
That growing appetite for Malaysian content can also be seen on streaming platforms, with Bulan Henti Bicara topping Netflix’s charts, while Cela sits at No. 1 on Viu.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, Futurama Season 14 is holding the No. 1 spot on Disney+, while Ammar Haikal’s Gila Bayang is among the most-listened-to Malay tracks on Spotify.<\/p>\n
From the cinema to streaming, music and books, here are the biggest entertainment titles making waves this week, as Malay Mail rounds up the latest charts.<\/p>\n
