Childhood friends, Buchek and Jaha, met again in Kuala Lumpur after being separated for so long. Now young adults - their attitudes and views about the world differ from one another.

However, Che' Nor could not fulfill Buchek's wishes and when a tragic accident took Jaha's life, he blames Che' Nor for it.

Worth watching
Quite impressive to see such dark and serious subject matter portrayed in a Malaysian movie. The story doesn't have that predictable resolution of the bad guy embracing religion and becoming good, as other Malay language films I've seen do. I think the acting is very good. The transitions from one scene to the next are sometimes sloppy, but overall I really appreciate the originality in Budak Kelantan. Nice to hear the way they speak too, cuz it reminds me of when I lived in Tganu.
