New movie, HAQ, ready to blast into Malaysian cinemas
“With power in your hands, what would you do?” Consumed by hatred, man often takes the wrong path, away from God, and into evil ways to fulfil the insatiable need for destruction nurtured by hate. Human values are dishonoured and brotherhood forgotten. This is the message intended by HAQ, a film about the struggle of morality and the battle of inner values in the hands of two brothers with extraordinary powers, which will be shown in Malaysian cinemas starting 27 January 2011. HAQ is the action-packed story of two brothers gifted with special powers, one good and the other evil, who must either overcome or succumb to their own demons when they finally confront each other.
