Ministers and Members of Parliament Watch 'HABIBIE & AINUN 3', Manoj Punjabi: Support is not just about money, but belief

Kapanlagi.com - Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartanto held a watch party for the movie HABIBIE & AINUN 3 at Plaza Senayan XXI, Central Jakarta. Not only in one location, the event initiated by the Golkar Party was also held simultaneously in 26 cities with a target of 3000 viewers.

This event was greeted with emotion by Manoj Punjabi, the producer from MD Pictures. Because it is real support like this that he and all the film producers need so that people dare to go back to the cinema. As we know, people are still hesitant to visit cinemas even though the entertainment services have been allowed to operate.

"Today I watched HABIBIE & AINUN with Mr. Airlangga. I am grateful that the Ministers care about national films. I think this is positive and very good after we met the President, the ministers acted quickly. Touched, this is what we need, a request to the President that we can have watch activities together in the cinema. Support is not just about money, but belief," said Manoj during the watch party, Wednesday (31/3/2021).

1. Attended by Representatives of the People

The event of watching the movie HABIBIE & AINUN 3 together in Jakarta was attended by members of the DPR. Reza Rahadian considered this as an illustration that if representatives of the people can watch while still implementing health protocols, it is time for the people to dispel their fears.

"This movement is not only beneficial to project that cinemas are safe, but also to encourage people to believe. This event was attended by representatives of the people, there are members of the DPR, it is important that they can represent their people and feel safe. At least the trust is present," explained Reza in the same interview session.

2. Not Facilitated by MD Pictures

Furthermore, Manoj Punjabi expressed his gratitude for the screening of the film directed by Hanung Bramantyo. Because it means that it has helped the cinema and of course the economic wheel of the production house that supports it.

"I thank Mr. Airlangga for this initiative. He did it himself, financed it himself to help the cinema, help the producers. This was not facilitated by MD," emphasized Manoj.

"I believe that the experience of watching in the cinema cannot be replaced. I mean, it's different from watching digitally," concluded Reza.
