Kapanlagi.com - After being unheard of in the entertainment world for a long time, the names Indah Permatasari and Kevin Julio once again attract attention, after both were reported to star in a film together titled 'Akad'. Interestingly, this film tells a love and family drama inspired by the song of the same title created by Moh. Istiqamah Djamad (Is).

In addition to Indah Permatasari and Kevin Julio, this film, which will be released in theaters starting February 2022, will also star Mathias Muchus, Debo Andryos, Jennifer Coppen, and Nino Fernandez. Not only presenting an interesting story, the film 'Akad' will also pamper the audience with the beauty of the Super Priority Tourism Destination (DPSP) The Mandalika in Lombok Island, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), which is the shooting location.

Interesting Love and Family Drama to Watch

In brief, the film 'Akad' tells the story of Pak Abdi (Mathias Muchus), an online taxi driver. He wants his daughter Indira (Indah Permatasari) to meet her soulmate and get married. However, Indira is an independent woman who feels that she doesn't need to get married in her life. She feels that it is not important yet to build her own family because she doesn't want to experience the sadness she felt when her mother passed away.

Meanwhile, Dion (Kevin Julio) is a nature conservation expert consultant who works in Lombok. During his childhood, he lived in Jakarta, then he and his family moved to Lombok to take care of his late father's land and garden. Dion is currently working on the Mandalika nature conservation project, and he has to return to Jakarta to work on some administrative tasks. Indira and Dion will meet in an inappropriate atmosphere, but the universe determines differently.

Film Inspired by Hit Song Lyrics

The uniqueness of the film 'Akad' is that its story is inspired by song lyrics. Reka Wijaya, who directed and wrote the film's story, said, "This film is a story of translating the lyrics of the song titled 'Akad' created by Mas Is, I call him. By using a simple and easily understandable storyline, I want to depict the verses of the song 'Akad' into certain feelings, such as: hope, longing, sacrifice, affection, fear, rejection, prejudice, anger, hatred, and falling in love. In principle, this film Akad is a film about how humans meet and live with their loved ones."

This film is intentionally packaged very simply but impressively. The reason the producer chose the song 'Akad' as the story idea and original soundtrack for the film is because of the song's popularity, which has been viewed more than 132 million times on the YouTube channel. Akad is also one of the songs that has been covered a lot, with more than 75 thousand videos and over 200 million views on YouTube.

The Collaboration of the Film Industry and Tourism

What's even cooler is that the film 'Akad' is a creative breakthrough that is the result of synergy between the film industry and the tourism sector. In line with the government's efforts to continue promoting domestic tourism and tourism in Indonesia only. This film is produced by PT Pengembangan Pariwisata Indonesia (Persero) or Indonesia Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC), a state-owned enterprise that develops DPSP The Mandalika, along with IFI Sinema, E-Motion Entertainment, and Maxstream. The Mandalika itself has recently successfully hosted the international events World Superbike (WSBK) and Idemitsu Asia Talent Cup (IATC) at the Pertamina Mandalika International Street Circuit, which will also appear in the film 'Akad'.

In addition, the professionalism of the actors and crew in carrying out their work during the Covid-19 pandemic is also an extraordinary achievement. That's why this film has received enthusiastic response from all national film lovers, and, importantly, it can boost the revival of the film, music, and tourism industries in the country. This work is also expected to become a new spirit in the midst of limitations in the pandemic era, so as to drive the advancement of the film, music, tourism sectors, and of course, other sectors in order to stimulate the nation's economy.

So, don't miss the opportunity to watch the film 'Akad' which will be released in theaters starting from February 2022. Especially for young couples, or maybe those who don't have a partner yet, it is a must-watch, because it can give a glimmer of hope that they can meet their soulmate anywhere and anytime.
