If you’ve ever found yourself laughing out loud at iconic Roderick Paulate clips on social media, you’re not alone—kakatuwa talaga, ‘di ba? The beloved comedy legend is back on the big screen in Mudrasta, a CreaZion Studios release from the creative minds behind Patay Na Si Jesus and Deadma Walking. This time, get ready for a rollercoaster of laughter and puso in a family-comedy film that’s as touching as it is hilarious.
Directed by Julius Ruslin Alfonso, the brilliant filmmaker behind the MMFF favorite Deadma Walking, Mudrasta stars Roderick Paulate in a role tailor-made for his signature blend of wit, charm, and emotional depth. He’s joined by a powerhouse ensemble cast: Tonton Gutierrez, Elmo Magalona, Carmi Martin, Awra Briguela, Arkin Magalona, Ruby Ruiz, Joel Saracho, Sunshine Teodoro, Debbie Garcia, Odette Khan, and the legendary Ms. Celia Rodriguez.
The Story:
The newly dropped trailer introduces us to Victor “Beki” Labrador (Paulate), who reconnects with his long-lost love Enrique Santillanes (Gutierrez)—only to discover Enrique has already passed away. But there’s a twist: Beki has been left half of Enrique’s estate and a stake in the family business. The catch? He must move into the Santillanes mansion and live with Enrique’s orphaned sons (Elmo and Arkin Magalona) and their intimidating grandmother (Celia Rodriguez). What follows is a laugh-out-loud, heart-tugging journey as Beki navigates old wounds, new beginnings, and the challenge of earning the trust of a family that never expected—or wanted—him around.
“Sa aming pelikulang Mudrasta, sana po ay matutunan ng mga manonood ang kahalagahan ng ‘chosen family’ at ma-enjoy nila ang mga katatawanan sa mga eksena,” shares Roderick Paulate. “Gusto ko humalakhak ang mga manonood sa sinehan.”
Miss mo na bang tumawa nang walang patid?
