An epic biographical feature film honouring the early life, love, and formative journey of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
From the quiet streets of Alor Setar to the dawn of national leadership, RIMAU 1925 tells the story of the boy, the man, and the making of a legacy.
The making of a man before the making of history.
RIMAU 1925 follows the formative journey of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad from his birth in Alor Setar in 1925 to his appointment as Malaysia's fourth Prime Minister in 1981.
Before the office, before the policies, before the weight of history, there was a young man shaped by family, discipline, war, medicine, service, and love.
Before the nation knew the leader, there was the boy, the student, the doctor, and the husband.

A life that shaped Malaysia. A story now shaped for cinema.
Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is one of Malaysia's most recognised modern figures, known across generations for his role in shaping the nation's development, identity, and place in the world.
RIMAU 1925 looks beyond the public figure to the formative years that shaped him: the child in Alor Setar, the son of a disciplined educator, the student who lived through war, the doctor who served his community, the lifelong partner of Tun Dr Hasmah Mohamad Ali, and the man whose convictions would one day carry national weight.
This is the story before the statesman. The life before the office. The private journey before public history.
