Synopsis
‘As a tribute to National Laureate Usman Awang, Uda dan Dara 2015 is a re-telling of the classic Malaysian story of two star-crossed lovers. Dara, a young woman from an affluent family, and Uda, a young man born into hardship; Both equally shaped and driven by circumstance, yet both equally in love with one another. It is a story of love, transcending notions of wealth, class, and – in this adaptation – culture and ethnicity. ‘
The 2015 Uda sees a young Chinese man drawn to the bright lights of Kuala Lumpur with his single mother in search of ambition and a better life, but in doing so, meets and falls in love with the daughter of an affluent Malay family, Dara. Although they both live in the same city, a velvet rope divides their families; for while Uda is trying to make ends meet in Kampung Penchala which is now overrun by immigrants and hence nicknamed Kampung Pendatang , Dara is just a stone’s throw away in an affluent gated community that is Taman Tun Dr Ismail. This adds distress to the mothers of the lovers, especially Zaiton, Dara’s single mother whom has raised her daughter using the political and societal connections her husband built in his time, albeit desperately as living conditions are getting harder with her dwindling savings.
Enter Alang, the son of Dato Bakhil, a noted developer of the area, with his wealth and influence. Not content with the riches he has acquired, Alang has set his eyes on the land that is Kampung Penchala, the home of Uda. But, that is not the only thing he is wishing to steal…
Uda and Dara 2015 injects a breath of fresh air into a contemporary classic, and brings it into the present and the future. Join the star crossed lovers in their journey of attaining what their hearts’ desire, of love, life and land that is rightfully theirs.
