KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 6 — After ruling the local box office for seven straight weeks, Papa Zola: The Movie has finally been knocked off the top spot by Taiwan’s Sunshine Women’s Choir.

Hot on its heels is Indonesia’s Sampai Titik Terakhirmu, which storms in with a strong debut at No. 2.

While cinemas are packed with options, it’s the streaming scene stealing the show. Netflix’s Can This Love Be Translated? — a limited series starring Kim Seon-ho and Go Youn-jung — has captured the K-drama crowd, winning praise for its gentle pacing and soft, slow-burn romance.

On the local front, Kelas Belakang continues to perform well on Viu, earning positive reviews, while Disney+’s The Medalist season two proves to be an anime worth watching.

February is underway, making it a good time to catch a movie at the cinema, dive into a new series, listen to top music, or pick up a good book to pass the time.

Malay Mail has you covered with a curated a list of entertainment picks to explore.
