A thrilling burst of humor and mystery that captivates audiences with its bold style and unstoppable energy

The film Agak Laen: Menyala Pantiku! has become a standout in the Indonesian film industry toward the end of 2025. Released nationwide on November 27, this comedy-investigation title quickly gained remarkable momentum by surpassing two million viewers in just five days. This achievement makes it the fastest-growing local comedy film of the year and reinforces the strong public enthusiasm for Indonesian cinema.

On its first day, the film drew 272,846 viewers, marking the highest opening day for an Indonesian film in 2025. From there, positive buzz spread rapidly across various platforms, supported by enthusiastic reviews from audiences and entertainment media. Within three days, the film’s viewership rose beyond 1.2 million, becoming the fastest release of the year to reach one million viewers. Another milestone was achieved on the fifth day, when on the afternoon of December 1, 2025, the film officially recorded two million viewers.

Directed by Muhadkly Acho and produced by Imajinari in collaboration with Ernest Prakasa and Dipa Andika, the film features four well-known comedians: Boris Bokir, Indra Jegel, Bene Dion, and Oki Rengga. They serve as both the leads and the comedic foundation of the story. Their roles as four detectives who go undercover in a nursing home to investigate a mysterious murder create a unique mix of absurd humor and investigation that appeals to viewers of all ages.

Acho crafted the film as a stand-alone story, while still presenting the same characters from the first film, which captivated audiences and reached nine million viewers. This approach allows new audiences to enjoy the film without needing prior context, while preserving the signature Agak Laen humor that fans already appreciate.

The film’s success is further strengthened by an effective promotional strategy. Creative social media engagement, behind-the-scenes content, and the popularity of its comedic cast helped build public curiosity. The swift and positive audience response created strong momentum, ensuring the film remained widely discussed across various platforms.

In a market where horror and family dramas dominate, Agak Laen: Menyala Pantiku! offers a refreshing shift with its comedy-investigation approach. This direction reflects the evolution of Indonesian comedy, moving beyond slapstick and verbal jokes to incorporate additional genre elements that enrich the storytelling. With its impressive achievements and fresh concept, the film marks a significant moment that showcases the growing potential of local comedy to attract audiences on a large scale.
