Puteri Gunung Ledang, Malaysia’s first-ever big budget film production was epic in every way: from its period fantasy setting to the star-studded cast. The 2004 film, directed by Saw Teong Hin and starring Tiara Jacquelina, M.

With the film now available for streaming for the first time, we revisit this Malaysian classic and see how it holds up.
