Nice cast but entire premise is laughable. the script was juvenile and the ending is boring AF

The first thing that bugged me is the opening. It opened like a typical MCU movies which sets a not so right tone to the genre. And yes, it has a credit scene too! which is unnecessary. Reminded me of my primary school essay where we have to sum up the story with proverbs.

In terms of technical aspect, its quite good for a local movie standard. They got the colours and the camera right but there is something wrong with the movie FPS, it just doesn't feel 24fps. Editing is just good enough, although I can see sometimes the editor tries hard to make a scene intense but ended up looking awkward. Now the big problem, the musical score. It's loud and doesnt quite fit to the movie and unnecessary at times. Come on la it's a political drama, the score should be minimised especially during serious scene.

The story is alright. Although, the script can be awkward at times but it served it purpose. Basically it's a political drama with a twist of your typical Malay drama sub plot. Not a bad thing but it's dragged out then it should have been. The main plot is there, it just a little bit too straightforward and simple. Not political enough I guessed? It can be engaging but the movie is surprisingly fast. I see their targeting mass audience but they set the movie in different tone than I expected it to be for a political drama. The twist is well...

Acting deserved a praised here. Vanidah Imran did a good job playing a fierce and strong woman. Gotta give her point for grabbing someone's dick, that's acting. The whole cast doing fine except Rashidi Ishak, his line delivery is just eh?

Overall it's quite enjoyable to see. Not a bad try at all.

If this movie was release before Langkah Sheraton, I bet it could get a larger viewers. More to improve, but a good start for Malaysian. Would give 9/10 for effort and all. Short 1 star due to so many F words in the movie :O

This. Exactly this will makes you realised how you miss a malay movie with such great of plot and amazing story. Not to mention the high quality and great camera view. The opening is so nice and perfect. The sound effect is marvellous. And all the actors and actress were so great. Even there was no dialogue, and with just facial changes can make you understand how the character feels. Recommended to watch. Worth it.

There were a lot of roadblocks in producing this movie especially on getting it approved by LPF. But I am glad it is finally released, via iflix instead. Daulat, a movie that is totally different from other normal Malaysian movies in terms of its genre and storyline. There are a lot of areas for improvements but we cannot deny that Daulat is indeed one of the best Malaysian movie thus far.

For me this is a great movie in malaysia because it is similar to what happened in malaysia to form the last government. Somehow they cast the movie first and only the government formed. Amazing idea of movie! Kudos to the team and hopefully that they will produced more quality movie;)

I watched a lot of korean political thriller, and I think the director should watch a lot of that too. You know, how to make this political movie appeal to wider audience. Movie like this will never attracted malaysian love evening drama-goer to enjoy this because I bet they will find this boring. A lot of talk, not much action, I didn't mean the fast & furious kind of action but the political action like you've seen a lot in korean or hollywood political thriller. For cinephile, the ending is quite predictable. I gave 7 because everything looks cool but it will be much cooler with additional budget that this production doesn't have. A good start by the way from a new director. Good.

My actual rating is 6/10 but idk i think it was a good start for malaysian to produce more political movies

The storyline was a bit slow n the ending is boring

I have been waiting for this movie to be released in the cinema but unfortunately - due to COVID 19 and LPF's restriction/ban, it was put on hold. Last week they announced that it will be finally released on iflix on 6/4/2020. I watched the movie with my family members and we glad we did. The movie is not like other typical Malaysian movies and I'd say the production house is quite daring in producing this genre. I am sure the majority will like it, because it is not too heavy to the extent it will discourage those who do not like heavy story and not too laid back like most of Malaysian movies. The ending is also epic, the plot twist, the women empowerment, the "truth" of political scenes - all in one movie; Daulat. Good job!

Daulat gives strong message in its stories. The revealation made the points. Good job!
