Go batty with the zany adventures of ‘Keluang Man'
Keluang Man (Nas-T) is certainly all fired up to get revenge on his brother. (Astro Shaw pic) PETALING JAYA : Look, up in the sky! Is it a bat? Is it a wau?! No, it's Keluang Man, making his way to the silver screen at long last! Blockbuster superhero films have been the rage over the last decade, so it was only a matter of time that this beloved Malaysian superhero got his own cinematic adventure. 'Keluang Man' is a largely faithful live-action adaptation of the 1990s cartoon series produced by UAS Animation Studio. Its serious and silly elements sometimes clash but, overall, it's a fun superhero adventure. The big-screen version is produced by Astro Shaw and marks the directorial debut of Anwari Ashraf, the writer of hits such as the 'Polis Evo' trilogy and 'Project: High Council'. In the film, Borhan (Nas-T), a patient at the Tampoi Psychiatric Centre in Kluang, spends his days arguing with other inmates and undergoing sessions with the beautiful and intelligent Dr Malini (Shweta Sekhon). Borhan hears voices in his head – more precisely, just one voice: that of iconic actor and radio announcer Halim Othman. When a chance encounter triggers memories of Borhan's dramatic past, which involves a betrayal by his once-trusted brother Shamsir (Remy Ishak), Borhan becomes eager for revenge. Fortunately, his psychiatric facility has the lowest level of security ever, allowing him to leave regularly for his crusade of justice as the masked vigilante Keluang Man; while the grizzled Inspector Sahab (Anwaar Beg Moghal) – who happens to be Dr Malini's brother – is hot on his trail. Shweta Sekhon plays the intelligent Dr Malini, who forms a bond with Borhan. (Astro Shaw pic) At first glance, this stylish superhero seems to be a local version of Batman. But this is a different story, as the film will remind you numerous times. A wisecracking misfit with the ability to break the fourth wall? Keluang Man has just as much in common with Deadpool as he does the Dark Knight! Acting-wise, the performers are decent, with Rosyam Nor as Borhan's old mentor Ahmad being particularly noteworthy. That said, Halim Othman's voice acting is the most outstanding of the lot! Much like its eponymous character, however, 'Keluang Man' suffers from a bit of an identity crisis. The film wants to be a serious superhero story and a parody of the genre at the same time, and the rapid shifts in tone can be quite disorienting. The movie is at its funniest when making humorous observations of Malaysian culture, or taking little jabs at other superhero movies. It does attempt to explore themes such as family, identity and revenge, but this feels mostly perfunctory, existing mainly to tie the action and comedy scenes together. Apart from fighting crime, Keluang Man has time to pursue his little art projects. (Astro Shaw pic) The fight scenes are executed well, especially during the climactic clash set in a pillow factory. Alas, while entertaining, this sequence drags on a bit and feels melodramatic, flying in the face of the film's generally humorous vibe. 'Keluang Man' does have a killer soundtrack, which features many throwback hits from the 2000s. Fans will also appreciate numerous references to the original animated series sprinkled through the story. Minor gripes aside, this is a fun superhero comedy, a popcorn flick with lots of local flavour. Importantly, it seems to have been made with love and as a tribute to longtime fans, which is commendable in and of itself. This is also the first entry in the Astro Shaw Cinematic Universe, which suggests the character will return soon. Hopefully Borhan will have more interesting adventures to come: who knows, he might even cross paths with a Marvel superhero some day! 'Keluang Man' starts screening in local cinemas from tomorrow.

(From left) Leow, Ariksoy, Liau and Kung launching Mattel's 80th anniversary bash in Pavilion Bukit Jalil, featuring interactive experiences that showcase the brand's beloved toys. MATTEL'S 80th anniversary celebration, the 'All Play All Day' event is now lighting up Pavilion Bukit Jalil in Kuala Lumpur – just in time for the school holidays. In conjunction with the milestone, families are invited to step into a world built entirely on the joy and nostalgia of toys, with the event running until June 8. 'I immediately freed up my time to bring my daughter after finding out that this event would be held today. She has been smiling the whole time, enjoying the experience. 'As a mother, this is what I want her to feel,' said Zhao Danging, 37, a mother from Beijing who has lived in Bukit Jalil for the past 10 years. Zhao was among many parents who brought their children to explore the event's various interactive zones. The mall's space has been transformed into a vibrant toyland featuring themed zones for Barbie, Hot Wheels, Thomas & Friends, and Fisher-Price. The Hot Wheels toy area is popular among youths, with enthusiasts crowding this spot as soon as it opened. The event was launched by Pavilion REIT Management deputy chief executive officer Patrick Liau, Pavilion Kuala Lumpur marketing director Kung Suan Ai, Mattel South Asia manager Murat Ariksoy and Toys 'R' Us Malaysia sales and merchandising senior manager Leow Fei Na. Following the launch, they guided visitors through the themed zones, interacting with children and their families along the way. Each area offers a unique experience: a 360-degree photo booth and pink bubble pool in the Barbie Zone; die-cast cars racing through loops and tracks in the Hot Wheels Zone; and the T-Rex Smasher game, which tests speed and accuracy. In the Mattel All Games Zone, families can also enjoy oversized versions of Scrabble, UNO and Pictionary for a more relaxed gaming experience. Children received activity passports to collect stamps across five different zones. Those who completed the games and challenges were rewarded with small themed gifts. 'This is something special as today is the first Mattel celebration in Malaysia,' said Kung. 'With over 600 stores here, we are committed to creating great holiday experiences for not only children, but also for the entire family. 'Everyone is invited to join us here in Pavilion Bukit Jalil from 10am to 10pm daily,' she added. Shoppers who spend RM60 on Mattel items can redeem exclusive anniversary collectibles. Meanwhile, those spending RM150 mall-wide in a single receipt are entitled to a Barbie Surprise Lollipop or a Hot Wheels Blind Box, while stocks last.
