Don't Make The Wrong Choice, This Is The Difference Between KKN Films In 17+ And 13+ Dancer Villages

KKN Film in Dancing Village (MD Pictures)

JAKARTA - The KKN film in Penari Village is ready to be screened on April 30 in two versions at the same time of launching. KKN in Penari Village is a phenomenal story that was shared in a Twitter thread from an account called Simpleman in 2019, and then made into a novel until it was finally translated into a film.

KKN Di Desa Penari told about six students who carried out KKN in a remote village. They did not expect the chosen village to be no ordinary village. They were warned by the village head not to cross the gate to the Tapak Tilas area. Then Nur (Tissa Biani) discovers the fact that one of them violates the most fatal rule in the village.

KKN in Dancing Village is broadcast in two versions, namely uncut and cut. Uncut includes a full cut of adult scenes in Tapak Tilas for the age segment 17 years and over, while the cut version does not include these scenes so that it can be watched by minors.

According to the CEO of MD Pictures, Manoj Punjabi, the presence of the film in two versions is a strategy that he runs so that the audience has a choice when they will watch KKN in Penari Village.

He said that his party did not want to disappoint fans of the "KKN di Desa Penari" story so that he did not want to eliminate parts of the scene in Tapak Tilas, but on the other hand Manoj wanted the film to be accessible to all people, especially for the family segment who wanted to watch the film together during Eid momentum. .

"We're here thinking, if we put a special scene in Tapak Tilas that must be 17 years old and above, what will happen to the audience who are 13 years old or 10-11 years old who dare to watch it with the guidance of their parents too. They can watch because they have a choice? So we have a strategy, I thought how about making two versions," said Manoj at XXI Epicentrum, Jakarta, Friday, April 22.

Manoj added that some theaters had planned to show both versions at the same time, but there were also theaters that chose only one version. According to him, the two versions only have a difference of about eight minutes.

According to him, the enthusiasm of the audience for the KKN film in Penari Village has been seen since the opening of the Advanced Ticket Sale (ATS) last week. The ATS theater seats for today's screening are full. In addition, MD Pictures also held a sneak preview in several theaters on April 28.

"This is a sign that people are impatient. Netizens complain, 'I don't want to watch, I don't want to watch'. But I think it's hate but love. I think the content already knows it's good, feels real. I think this is a new formula from MD and I think the hype is pretty strong," he said.
