FYI, the movie has managed to surpass legendary actor Tan Sri P. Ramlee’s Tiga Abdul and Do Re Mi, which were previously the highest-rated Malaysian movie on IMDb. These movies got a rating of 8.0 and 8.1 respectively. 

Ever since its release, Paskal The Movie has been very well received by the Malaysian film fraternity and the public as it has collected RM26.1 million just after 28 days of screening. Pretty impressive, eh?

If you didn’t know, the story narrates the success story of the elite force at the United Nations Peacekeeping mission (Pengaman Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu, PBB). In addition to that, it also tells the story of how the elite team managed to stop Somalian pirates from hijacking a Malaysian commerce ship named MT Bunga Laurel.

Fun fact: The abovementioned incident had the entire world shook in 2011.
