This is a great romantic movie ever made! I love the storyline, actors soundtracks and everything on this movie.Btw, this movie is based on the best-selling book of the same name by Habiburrahman El Shirazy.I think if you read the book you would like the movie more. And honestly, I haven't read the book.Overall, I think Verses Of Love is an Indonesian version of all the romantic movies based on Nicholas Sparks' books because it will touches the audiences. I'm not crying while watching this movie, but maybe if I'm in the good mood when I watch this, maybe I will crying. Who knows??

For a regional movie, it was OK. I would have liked it to be a little more fun and funny, but overall I think it was a watchable effort. Some parts were a bit over-acted, but it moved along quite fast.It does offer glimpses of Muslim thinking and culture (at least as practised in some parts of Egypt/Indonesia). Nevertheless, remember it's a fictional movie, guys.For those not from the Asean region - suggest you watch it with an open mind, and I'm sure you can enjoy it too....don't pre-judge based on your religious prejudices. BTW does anyone know whether the actress who plays Maria (Carissa Puteri) is a Muslim in real life?...just curious.....

two thumbs up and hats off to the director of this movie, Hanung Brahmantyo.from this movie, you could see another side of Islam. I guess the director is success to bring the core idea of this movie that Islam is not always related with brutality.rianti cartwright as Aishah has played her role perfectly. Her eyes is so magnificent. I can see her emotion through her beautiful eyes although she used a 'cadar' ( i don't know this word in English, a piece of fabric that covers his mouth ).cant say nothing else, i have watched it for 6 times on the cinema, the most highest appreciation that i have given to an indonesian movie!

What a great movie this is, supported by a strong story line based on a famous novel with the same title by Habiburrahman El Shirazy, an Indonesian writer that has produce several quality novels. The quality of directing isn't bad either, it deserves a compliment, hats off to Hanung Bramantyo, he keeps on delivering good movies lately. keep it up!The overall look of the movie is beautiful, although mostly show indoor/studio scenes it made me believe that they were really in Egypt while actually the outdoor scenes was shot mostly in India, it's not perfect but it's pretty.The center figure, Fahri has a character of what Indonesian boys traditionally taught to be, modest, religious, brave and sincere. However the movie shows that even though you have all that qualities, you still have to go through realities in life which can be painful at times, in this case Fahri is wrongfully accused of raping a girl whose actually in love with him.At the same time Fahri has to go through an unordinary marriage life of polygamy, which he refused initially but had to go through with it, His first wife is actually the one told him to do it.Overall this movie tells a good story of life, brave in telling that polygamy isn't always bad, and pictures a poetic love story in Islamic way.I hope Indonesians will produce even better movies in the future, Cheers!
