Najwa Shihab is one of the public figures who was also present at the Buya Hamka premiere gala which took place at XXI Epicentrum, South Jakarta on Sunday, April 9.

After watching the film directed by Fajar Bustomi, Najwa admitted that she was impressed by the acting of Vino G Bastian who played Buya Hamka and Laudya Cynthia Bella who played Siti Raham.

Najwa saw that their acting managed to show how Buya Hamka loved his wife, Siti Raham.

"Especially Vino and Bella, it was extraordinary, earlier I said 'the ring looks really good'. Because Buya Hamka is described as a very romantic figure," said Najwa Shihab after watching the film Buya Hamka.

The son of Quraish Shihab also said he was satisfied with what he was watching. Even though he talked about Hamka, he saw that the portion given to Siti Raham was quite large.

"Then, I'm happy that this film is a depiction of Siti Raham's figure. Usually, when a biopic about national figures only focuses on one character, but here it is described how Siti Raham becomes an extraordinary wife and companion for Buya Hamka," he said.

Najwa herself sees the figure of Siti Raham as a tough woman who can accompany big figures like Buya Hamka. He saw how Siti Raham was a sincere wife, even when she had to face her child who died while Hamka was out of town.

As a woman, Najwa feels that Buya Hamka's film also presents an important role for women, even though the character told is a man.

So I am very happy that this film also highlighted the role of women, highlighting the role of wives. Something that feels rarely explored, when we talk about films that describe the character of a man or father. So this is not only about Buya Hamka but also about Mrs. Siti Raham. I think that's amazing," concluded Najwa Shihab.
