'PELANGI TANPA WARNA' Still Showing in Cinemas Despite Increasing Omicron Cases, Here's the Director's Explanation

Kapanlagi.com - The number of covid cases of the omicron variant is increasing. This has prompted the government to implement the Community Activity Restriction (PPKM) Level 3 policy in various regions.

Entertainment services such as cinemas are still allowed to operate with a fifty percent capacity of viewers per show. However, some production houses have chosen to postpone screenings.

However, Falcon Pictures production house did not postpone it. They will still screen the family drama film PELANGI TANPA WARNA on February 17th.

This film, directed by Indra Gunawan, stars Rano Karno and Maudy Koesnaedi as a married couple. This is the first time Rano and Maudy act together, not as Doel and Zaenab.

2. Form of Optimism

Indra Gunawan as the director sees the continued screening of PELANGI TANPA WARNA as a form of optimism. Because he believes that every film will find its audience.

"I personally believe that every film has its own way of meeting its audience. When other friends postpone, we are grateful to continue screening. It's not that we want to ignore health or are not afraid of the virus, but what needs to be won is optimism," said Indra when met at a press screening in Kemang Village, South Jakarta, Friday (11/2/2022).

3. Realistic Number of Viewers

Regarding the number of viewers, Indra Gunawan admits that he is open-minded about the results. However, Rano Karno as an actor has his own perspective as someone who often produces a film.

"For the audience, it may not be as much as we think. We don't want to turn a blind eye to this," said Indra.

"Coincidentally, I have also sat as a producer. We see that this film is played by four people, not many locations, which means that the production costs are not high. If we can reach 500 thousand viewers, that would be extraordinary. Realistic," added Rano on the same occasion.

4. Millions Reached During the Pandemic

In the midst of the coronavirus storm, as a filmmaker, Rano Karno is impressed to see a film that can reach millions of viewers. Like KUKIRA KAU RUMAH which managed to achieve one and a half million in just one week of circulation.

"I am grateful that during this pandemic there is a film that can reach millions, even one film that reached one and a half million in just seven days," said Rano.
