Kapanlagi.com - Surprising achievements come from the national film industry. The film JALAN PULANG produced by Leo Pictures has successfully broken into the box office with an audience of 1,033,674 people on Wednesday, June 25, 2025, exactly one week after its premiere on June 19. Interestingly, this film is the debut work of first-time director, Jeropoint.

The success of JALAN PULANG shows that the growth of the Indonesian film industry is very dynamic. New filmmakers do not need to be intimidated to dive into the film world because there is a significant appreciation space from Indonesian audiences. Jeropoint, who was previously known only through horror story threads on social media, has successfully transformed into a director whose debut film has immediately hit the box office.

The success of JALAN PULANG marks that Indonesian cinema is currently in a dynamic and increasingly open phase. Not only for big names but also for newcomers who have the courage to present stories with a different approach. Today's film industry provides a wider space for any production house to offer memorable cinematic experiences to the audience.

The producer of JALAN PULANG, Agung Saputra, stated that the success of Jalan Pulang shows that Indonesian cinema is open to anyone to make their mark. Good for both new directors and various production houses. "The audience will appreciate it if we can provide a memorable cinematic experience for viewers," said Agung.

1. A Fresh Breeze for New Directors

What Jeropoint has done in his debut film, Agung said, shows that the courage to stand out can be a strength. A fresh perspective from a new director can bring a new color to the audience. JALAN PULANG serves as a real example of that strength," he said.

Although it cannot be directly compared, the success of Jalan Pulang reminds the public of the success of the film JUMBO, which was also handled by debut director Ryan Adriandhy. Both films demonstrate that a first work is not an obstacle to breaking achievement boundaries
