Cosmic Raya 2026 – Jalan Balik

ProjectA Malaysian Raya short film produced for CosmicExpress, Jalan Balik follows Adam, a young man who has been avoiding the journey home — not because of distance, but because of everything waiting for him there. Set against the backdrop of the Raya travel season, the film explores the quiet weight of unresolved relationships, grief, and the kind of pride that keeps families apart even when love never left. Shot across kampung roads, bus stations, and the open highway in Malaysia, the story unfolds largely on a CosmicExpress bus, where a chance conversation with a stranger becomes the nudge Adam didn't know he needed. Directed by Naveen Bala and produced by Storyfrontier in Kuala Lumpur, this branded short film lets the brand sit gently in the background, allowing an authentic, emotionally driven Malaysian story to lead.
