JAKARTA - History today, 10 years ago, April 30, 2016, the film Ada Apa Dengan Cinta (AADC) 2 became an Indonesian film that was successful in Malaysia. The film created by Mira Lesmana and Riri Riza has been shown in 90 cinemas with an increasing number of audiences throughout Malaysia.
Previously, the first AADC film was often considered a sign of the revival of Indonesian film which was sluggish. The story of Rangga-Cinta's love then stuck in memory. All film enthusiasts then waited for the continuation of the story of Rangga and Cinta through AADC 2.
Indonesian film was once considered to be dead in the 2000s. The problem is quite complex. The trend of television soap operas is one of the causes. Most film filmmakers believe that the turnover of money in soap operas is more and faster, than in feature films which tend to be long.
Not to mention the problem related to the world of Indonesian films being attacked by Hollywood, United States-produced films. A series of problems are seen as the cause of Indonesian films to be in place. However, everything changed when Rudi Soedjarwo, Mira Lesmana and Riri Riza presented the film AADC in 2002.

Memories of the love story of Rangga-Cinta continue to roll. However, the continuation of each is still unclear. Each of the filmmakers involved in the first AADC seems busy with various other projects.
The longing was then repaid. Mira Lesmana and Riri Riza promised to prepare the continuation of the story of Rangga and Cinta. The two are adults. Rangga's poetic drama and Cinta's emotional drama. The film's owner also tried to delve into the characters of Rangga and Cinta who have been separated for a long time.
"In the second film, Rangga actually remains himself. We can still imagine who Rangga is then and the feelings, expressions, expressions expressed in that language remain one of our strengths," said Riri Riza as quoted by liputan6.com, January 28, 2016.
The result was brilliant. The film AADC two was able to get 65 screens at its release on April 28, 2016. The audience was full. Enthusiasm increased so that the number of cinema screens continued to increase. However, it was not only Indonesian audiences who were fascinated by the story of AADC 2, Malaysian audiences also followed.
They can't wait to see the continuation of the story of Rangga and Cinta. The premiere of AADC 2 in Malaysia was greeted with high audience enthusiasm on the same day as Indonesia. The film was shown in 90 cinemas across Malaysia with an increasing audience.
