Babah, a proudly Malaysian-made film recently made available on Netflix, was first released in cinemas in December 2024. It also marks Mohd Shah Faizul Ibrahim’s directorial debut. Ibrahim previously worked extensively as a cinematographer, including on the film Butak (2020), directed by Sabri Yunus.

Babah tells the heartfelt story of Isyak, a hearing-impaired father portrayed brilliantly by Qi Razali, and his wife Hayati (Cristina Suzanne) as they navigate the challenges and sacrifices of raising their only daughter, Maya (Sweet Qismina).
