JAKARTA - The Home Sweet Loan film from the production house Visinema Pictures has won 1.7 million viewers since its premiere in Indonesian cinemas on September 26, 2024.

"The breakthrough in the number of 1.7 million viewers is a very meaningful achievement for us. Seeing Kaluna as an inspiration and a reminder for many people to continue to fight is a matter of pride," said Home Sweet Loan film producer Cristian Imanuell, quoted from his official statement in Jakarta, Saturday, October 26, 2024.

He added, "Thank you for embracing this story. Hopefully this film can continue to provide strength for those who are struggling in life".

The film Home Sweet Loan tells the story of Kaluna (Yunita Siregar), a middle-class worker who still lives with his parents and siblings who are already married.

He tries hard to save and live a simple life in order to realize his dream of buying and owning his own home. However, the reality of life as a sandwich generation that has to finance the life of his extended family, plus his minimal income, makes it difficult for Kaluna's dream to materialize.

This condition makes Kaluna feel like she is not at home every time she returns home. Will Kaluna manage to find a "home" for her to return home?

Brought with full sincerity by Yunita Siregar, Kaluna's character is a reflection of many viewers, especially those who feel the weight of responsibility between meeting family needs and pursuing their own dreams. The film captures the reality of life that is so close, invites the audience to reflect, laugh, and cry together.

"Witing Kaluna and her journey being so warm makes us all so grateful. This film is a simple portrait of a meaningful life struggle," said Home Sweet Loan director Sabrina Rochelle Kalangie.

Interestingly, the film is liked by the audience not only because the story is close to the lives of the sandwich generation, but also a way to open up so that Millennials and Gen Z care more about financial planning.

Seeing that Kaluna can save despite having many responsibilities, makes viewers want to record their finances as Kaluna does through the spreadsheet application.

For viewers who want to have spreadsheet data in the style of Kaluna, templates can be accessed in bit.ly/kaluasspreadsheets. The spreadsheet is the result of collaboration with the film Home Sweet Loan with @andreqve so that more people can be used and distributed for free.

Meanwhile, Home Sweet Loan stars Yunita Siregar, Derby Romero, Risty Tagor, Fita Anggriani, Ayushita, Ariyo Wahab, and Wafda. Now, the film can still be seen in cinemas throughout Indonesia.
