"12 LOTUS" tells the story of singer Lian Hua (Mindee Ong) and the heartless men in her life who use and abuse her. Spanning over 1980s, 1990s till the present day, this film will play out against the backdrop of poignant hokkien songs, which will touch the audience with their resonance with the lead character. Movie starring Qi Yi Wu, Liu Ling Ling and Mindee Ong; huge household names following the success of the previous film "881".

Certainly, this film is average. Certainly, this film isn't very accessible to the masses. Certainly, the storyline seems too over-the-top. Certainly, it is not as good as 881. Certainly, there are a lot of negative points that one could bring up. But, i am willing to overlook these misforgivings as the committed performances of the cast and director moved me. One doesn't has to look or search too deep into the movie to see the amount of work and effort that went in. Special kudos to Liu and Ong, for splendid acting chomps that was simply a pleasure to watch.
