In the midst of the flood of praise that was praised by Agak Laen, this film did not escape criticism. A number of netizens disagreed with the jokes that appeared in the film.

On social media, this film is considered a misoganist, which is a form of discrimination and hatred against women. A number of netizens are less creative about the use of the word actor aimed at the woman played by Indah Permatasari.

In addition, Agak Laen is also accused of being a enabler, namely discrimination and social prejudice against persons with disabilities or people who are considered disabled.

However, criticism of Laen is a bit less having a big impact on timeline X, because the main flow of conversation is still being met by speech that is preparing for appreciation.

The film Agak Laenkini has officially become the best-selling Indonesian comedy film of all time after breaking through more than seven million viewers until February 24, 2024, since its premiere on February 1.

"SAH! 7,000,000 spectators and all Indonesian people are ready to witness the glare of Batak Silper & Batak Emas. Maulite Godang, Troops!" Imaginari wrote on his X account.

The figure of seven million viewers, Agak Laentelah, shifts the position of Warkop DKI Reborn: Jangkrik Bos! Part 1(2016) which received 6,858,616 spectators.

It's a bit Laen is still under the film KKN Penari Village as the best-selling Indonesian film of all time. The film, which was released in 2022, managed to collect 10,061,033 viewers.

However, seeing that Agak Laen is still strong in Indonesian cinemas, the popular film and cultural observer Hikmat Darmawan predicts that this film will be able to penetrate nine million viewers.

"This film is still shooting strongly. There are still many who get 2-3 screens [per cinema]. It could be up to more than eight million, maybe even up to nine million, maybe," said Hikmat.

"It remains to be seen whether in 1-2 weeks there has been a drastic decline. But my guess is, it can be [achieved] with this situation," he continued.

With more than seven million viewers, Agak Laen temporarily ranked sixth in the list of best-selling films in Indonesia. This list contains a row of films that have been screened in Indonesian cinemas, including foreign films.

The filmAvengers: Endgame (2019) still leads with 10,976,338 spectators, followed by KKN in Penari Village.

Next order isAvengers:Infinity War(8,220,812),Spider-Man: No Way Home(8,215,014), danAvatar: The Way of Water(7,096,768).
