Mendadak Dangdut

From the most memorable dialogue (Neng, ikut abang dangdutan yuk? NAJIS LO!) to the most iconic dangdut soundtrack (Jablai, TITI KAMAL SANG), Mendadak Dangdut will always be remembered as one of the best Indonesian comedy-drama films ever. With ambitions like an independent film production, this film focuses on the strength of the dialogue, brilliant acting, and the simplicity of the production design which makes this film a classic or even a cult. This film also marks an era of Indonesian cinema that prioritizes originality, which produces films that are fresh, entertaining and timeless. Moreover, Mendadak Dandut gives a message about the complicated relationship between sisters which seems tacky but in fact this is what we miss.
