Ajari Aku Islam

A Much-Needed Conversation Starter-In Indonesia's current climate, this film bravely tackles interfaith dating with sensitivity. What could have been preachy becomes profound thanks to balanced writing-Kenny's conversion stems from genuine curiosity. Some subplots, like Chelsea's sudden reappearance, feel contrived, but the core emotional truth remains strong. The Friday prayer scene where Kenny participates is one of Indonesian cinema's most moving spiritual moments, making it a significant film for contemporary discussions.

Tbh, I'm quite excited to see this movie cause Indonesia proven to produce high quality of islamic romantic movie such as Ayat2 cinta etc. But this movie is not up to their par. The story is a little bit clichè and expected. Certain supporting actors are quite stiff during acting. The script especially is rubbish. Somehow I think this is not the right way to teach a non muslim about islam. There is no part in this movie which makes me attracted more to Islam which this should be their main objectives. Overall, kudos to both main actors and fidya's bestfriend. These people are superb

Ajari Aku Islam tells a heartfelt story about love that crosses cultural and religious lines

Kenny a Chinese Indonesian man, falls for Fidya, a Muslim Batak woman, and together they face family expectations, prejudice, and questions of faith

The film is simple and sincere, with genuine chemistry between Roger Danuarta and Cut Meyriska (who later married in real life, adding sweetness for fans) It's not a technically groundbreaking film storytelling and pacing feel old school, and side plots are predictable but its strength lies in showing real emotional struggles many Indonesians can relate to

Overall, it's a warm, relatable romantic drama that gently explores identity, love, and acceptance.

Stunning Performances Make a Familiar Plot Feel New-Roger Danuarta and Cut Meyriska give great performances that make this familiar love-across-religions story feel new. Their chemistry shows through in quiet moments, such when Kenny tries to read Quran verses. The tempo of the movie slows down sometimes because of Islamic teachings, but the emotional payoff, notably Fidya's agonizing decision scene, makes up for it. The photography does a great job of showing Muslim life in Medan, which adds to the film's depth and emotional impact.

Stunning Performances Elevate Familiar Plot-Roger Danuarta and Cut Meyriska deliver standout performances that make this familiar love-across-religions premise feel fresh.
