Not Just Funny, Kemal Palevi Promises Oki Rengga Will Be Romantic and Tearful in 'JADI TUH BARANG'

The Indonesian film industry is once again enlivened by the presence of a new comedy work from the production house E Komik Film titled JADI TUH BARANG (JTB). This film, directed and produced by Kemal Palevi, is set to be released in cinemas across the country starting September 18, 2025.

This film features Oki Rengga in a performance that is very different from his previous roles. JADI TUH BARANG tells a story that is very relevant to the lives of many young people today, especially students from afar who are struggling in a big city.

According to Kemal Palevi, the idea for this story was born from the anxiety about the difficulty of finding a job after graduation. He further explained the inspiration behind the making of this film.

"The point is that most of us make films based on our anxieties, and our anxiety is that finding a job is difficult. That's what is happening in our country. That becomes the inspiration, friendships of those who just graduated and moved to Jakarta, but turned into a comedy film," said Kemal Palevi at Cinepolis Senayan PARK, Jakarta, Saturday (2/8/2025).

This film not only focuses on the struggle to find a job, but is also seasoned with a sweet love story. Kemal added that this story is essentially a portrait of the reality of society packaged with a touch of romance to make it more interesting. "Depicting the people today but with a sprinkle of romance. The common thread is three friends struggling to find a job," said Kemal Palevi.

One of the main attractions of this film is Oki Rengga's performance, which will showcase another side of his acting ability. Widely known for his hilarious comedic roles, this time Oki will appear more romantic and dramatic. Kemal Palevi even guarantees that the audience will see a side of Oki that has never been shown before.

"Oki is usually very funny, but here he is very romantic. Oki plays drama, confusion, anger, and crying. Want to see a different Oki Rengga? It's right here," explained Kemal Palevi.

Playing the role of Bonar, a young man of Sumatra descent, Oki will act alongside the beautiful actress Beby Tsabina who plays Cantika. For the comedian, building chemistry with his co-star is a challenge in itself, especially since he admitted to feeling awkward at first. However, Oki has his own way of lightening the atmosphere.

"I just tried to be friendly with her, I don’t know if she liked my friendliness or not. But as time went on, we tried to joke around so that everything would become more relaxed," said Oki Rengga.

This is the first time for the comedian from Medan to have a partner in a film story, and he is committed to delivering his best performance. This new experience is certainly a significant step in his acting career, where he has to delve into the complex character of Bonar.

The story of JADI TUH BARANG centers around Bonar (Oki Rengga) whose life is being tested from various sides. Just after breaking up with Cantika (Beby Tsabina), he must face his sick father's desire for him to quickly start a family. Amidst the pressure of these problems, Bonar, along with his two friends, Awang (Dicky Difie) and Wongso (Steven Wongso), takes on an unusual job as a rain master.

Although the three of them feel skeptical about the job that has a mystical aura, economic pressure leaves them with no other choice. The adventure of Bonar, Awang, and Wongso as rain masters becomes the main source of humor in the film, while also showcasing the strength of their friendship in facing life's difficulties in the capital. With a lineup of comedians and well-known actors like Arafah Rianti and Ge Pamungkas, JADI TUH BARANG is ready to tickle the audience's funny bone while also touching their hearts.
