KALEIDOSCOPE 2023 SHERINA'S ADVENTURE 2 & BUDI PEKERTI Compete Closely to Become the Readers' Choice Film on Kapanlagi

SHERINA'S ADVENTURE 2 successfully brings nostalgic viewers with the chemistry between Sherina (played by Sherina) and Sadam (Derby Romero) after 23 years since their adventure in Boya, Bandung. This time they venture into the interior of Kalimantan. 

Meanwhile, BUDI PEKERTI showcases a story rich in social criticism supported by the outstanding acting of its cast. This second feature film by director Wregas Bhanuteja is set in Yogyakarta. 

SHERINA'S ADVENTURE 2 proves once again that Riri Riza can combine the power of storytelling and nostalgia elements of an IP. Do you still remember how this director brought us WHAT'S WITH LOVE 2?

Meanwhile, BUDI PEKERTI, directed by Wregas, is a dialogue-heavy drama film that subtly touches on societal issues. Sha Ine Febriyanti's acting serves as the driving force of the film, portraying Bu Prani, a teacher who is framed on the internet as a gossiping grandmother and a seller of putu. 

Although presenting a story setting and character development, PETUALANGAN SHERINA 2 still brings the musical genre that is its life. Its songs have also gone viral on social media. 

BUDI PEKERTI presents a challenging life drama for its cast to showcase their best acting. For example, Prilly has polished her appearance, eliminating the image of a soap opera actress, and also learning Javanese accents and dialects to improve her acting. 

What makes PETUALANGAN SHERINA 2 authentic is its setting, which is truly taken in the depths of the Kalimantan jungle. 

Meanwhile, BUDI PEKERTI excels in terms of acting. For example, Dwi Sasono conducted in-depth research on what it looks like for someone to be depressed when their business suffers due to COVID.  

Musical collaboration, authentic story, and a touch of adventure make PETUALANGAN SHERINA 2 successful in attracting 2.4 million viewers. KapanLagi readers also chose it as the Movie Newsmaker 2023.  

BUDI PEKERTI was watched by 525,000 viewers during its release in theaters. This film was also selected for the Toronto Film Festival 2023. Although not as many as PETUALANGAN SHERINA 2, BUDI PEKERTI captivated KapanLagi readers who chose it as the Movie Newsmaker 2023.
