Producer Did Not Expect 'NGERI NGERI SEDAP' Film to be Watched by 1.5 Million Viewers in 15 Days

Kapanlagi.com - The film NGERI NGERI SEDAP which has been showing in theaters since June 2, 2022, apparently received a lot of appreciation from the public. Proof of this is that on the 15th day of its screening, the film had already been watched by more than 1.5 million people.

For this reason, producer Dipa Andika is grateful because Imajinari production house can return the initial investment to the investors.

"Yes, thank God now we can return the initial investment and return (the funds) to the investors, so the burden is gone," said Dipa in a press conference held in the Manggarai area, South Jakarta, on Friday (17/6).

1. Standard Film Capital

In addition, Dipa said that the initial capital for the film was considered standard, considering that Imajinari is a production house that has only released one film.

"Maybe we feel uncomfortable talking about the amount, but it is equivalent, the amount of the budget is still standard. It's a drama budget," said Dipa.

"Honestly, for a production house that is new, we were given a budget that was not too minimal but just standard, still normal compared to other drama film budgets," Dipa continued.

2. The Story of a Batak Family

The film NGERI NGERI SEDAP tells the story of a Batak family living in the outskirts of Lake Toba, North Sumatra.

The family consists of Pak Domu (Arswendy Beningswara), Mak Domu (Tika Panggabean), Domu (Boris Bokir), Sarma (Gita Butar-butar), Gabe (Lolox), and Sahat (Indra Jegel).
