I love the pious, elegant, patient and mysterious (and sometimes selamba) character of Aisha played by Rianti Cartwright (she's REALLY CUTE btw). The lead actor Fedi Nuril did very well too, potraying an Al-Azhar student named Fahri whom girls are running (quietly) after. Who says a pious-looking, ustaz-wannabe doesn't have admirers?
I thought the film started well, with the potrayal of the REAL Islam, of what Islam should be, which represents peace, respect for others and wisdom. Fahri's innocence was rather humorous, alongside a part of him that cares about the people around him and always wanting to help those in need.
Overall, I'll give it a 3.5 out of 5. Actualli I wanted to list some doubts I had about the storyline, but I'm just too sleepy to type it out now. I promise I'll continue tomorrow. For right now, you guys go watch Ayat Ayat Cinta while its still in the cinemas. Or you can catch it on YouTube. :)
