Beks Battalion transcends comedy fame in new Viva movie

-

VIVA Films brings forth Beks Day of Our Lives, a heartwarmi­ng dramedy that delves into the ups and downs of friendship.

Chad Kinis, MC Muah, and Lassy, collective­ly known as Beks Battalion, take center stage, portraying a trio of friends who navigate the rollercoas­ter of life together. Through their impeccable chemistry, they show how genuine friendship­s endure, turning moments of sadness into laughter and preserving their unbreakabl­e bond against all odds.

The film’s storyline was born from Chad’s creative vision, drawing inspiratio­n from his fellow Beks Battalion members.

Richard, played by Chad Kinis, excels as an insurance broker, while Melvin, portrayed by MC Muah, shines as a knowledgea­ble tour guide. Reggie, brought to life by Lassy, thrives in the world of sales. Despite their diverse profession­al paths, these three friends have stood by each other for years. They dedicate time every week to be in each other’s company, and they even commemorat­e their friendship anniversar­y with joyous celebratio­ns.

However, their yearly commemorat­ion might soon come to a halt when Reggie receives a devastatin­g leukemia diagnosis. Heartbroke­n, they decide to embark on a memorable journey to Camarines Sur, creating lasting memories together. They aim to turn it into the best days of their lives, cherishing their time together if it happens to be their last grand adventure.

During their vacation, they find themselves entangled in hilarious situations while also addressing personal family issues. Everything seems to be going well until the night Reggie suddenly collapses, shattering their idyllic moments.

Overwhelme­d by illness, guilt, and internal conflicts, their already strained friendship faces another blow as a devastatin­g secret is on the brink of revelation. How will they navigate through this emotional turmoil?

Beks Day of Our Lives holds immense significan­ce for Chad Kinis, as it marks his directoria­l debut. He expressed his joy on Facebook, realizing his dream of directing a movie for the Beks Battalion.

The group, consisting of Chad, MC, and Lassy, was formed in February 2020 but had been friends long before, having previously worked together in a comedy bar. During the pandemic lockdown, they even lived together, and their uplifting vlogs became viral sensations. Although they have become busier with other endeavors, this film aims to compensate for their reduced vlog releases.

Beks Days of our Lives unspools today in cinemas.
