JAKARTA - Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy (Menparekraf) Sandiaga Uno appreciated the film Money 'Panai' 2 or the dowry money by Finisia in collaboration with Rumpi Entertainment and 786 production.

"This film raises cultural issues that are packaged in a fresher story and remains loyal to the'soul' about the struggle for the bride and groom to collect Panai' money to be appreciated," Sandiaga said virtually as conveyed by the Money Panai 2 film team on the sidelines of his press conference in Makassar, quoted from Antara, Saturday, August 3.

Meanwhile, Director of Money Payai Ihdar Nur said that the Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy's appreciation for the Panai 2 Money was for the ability of the younger generation of South Sulawesi to present a film which is part of this creative industry to be present nationally.

The film tells the story of Iccang's love for the future groom and his girlfriend Icha who are in danger of collapsing, because they are blocked by a 'panai' of Rp. 200 million.

In the midst of Iccang struggling to achieve his true love, but hindered by the high money of the dowry, he finally found the first 'Panai' money consulting service company in the world founded by Tumming and Abu after successfully helping Ancha raise Panai Money' in the first film.

"That's what became a different story idea from the first film," explained Ihdar.

Meanwhile, Panai 2 Money Screenwriter Elvin Miradi said the Film Money Panai 2 brought a message and described the culture of panai money created by Bugis-Makassar ancestors to encourage the independence of men.

According to him, this fosters work ethic for Makassar Bugis men and at the same time as a form of respect and appreciation for women.
