Kapanlagi.com - Max Pictures officially released the poster and trailer for its latest film titled BIDADARI SURGA towards the end of 2025. This romantic religious drama is scheduled to be screened in theaters in early 2026 and has immediately attracted attention for its themes of love, faith, and the inner journey that are relevant to contemporary life.
In the film, Rey Mbayang plays Taufan, a wealthy and famous YouTuber who often stirs controversy through his content. The popularity and glamorous life he leads slowly changes direction when he meets a woman with very different life principles.
The woman is Nadia Suciningrum, portrayed by Dinda Hauw. Nadia is depicted as a simple, religious person who firmly holds her life values. She is the daughter of a charismatic cleric, H. Suciningrum, played by Indro Warkop.
Conflict begins to arise when Taufan asks Nadia to remove her hijab for the sake of his digital content. Nadia's firm rejection becomes a catalyst for change within Taufan. The differences in background, perspectives, and the issue of parental approval become a significant test in their relationship.
This film is directed by Indra Gunawan, who is known for consistently presenting stories filled with emotion and moral messages. He emphasizes that this film does not merely present a romance story, but also reflects on life choices and personal transformation.
"Through BIDADARI SURGA, we want to show that true love does not demand, but invites growth. This film is not just about romance, but also about the process of change and the search for meaning in life," said Indra Gunawan.
