JAKARTA - Watching old films can be a fun choice on the weekend. Like the film Lara Jonggrang, which is based on a legendary story about the kingdoms of Baka and Pengging, where the two main characters are Bandung Bondowoso and Lara Jonggrang.
Bandung Bondowoso, who had just been appointed senopati, was assigned by King Baka to attack the kingdom of Pengging, and seize his consort, Candrawati. While in Pengging he was even recognized as the crown prince of Pengging, because of the necklace he wore. He was kidnapped by the Baka when he was one and a half years old and then kept by someone he called grandpa. Since that incident, Bandung has changed its attitude. Knowing this, King Baka was furious and then led the attack on Pengging himself. Raja Baka died, witnessed by his own daughter Lara Jonggrang, who actually secretly loved Bandung.
Bandung Bondowoso then asked Lara Jonggrang to be his consort. Out of revenge for the death of King Baka, Lara Jonggrang refused. Lara Jonggrang just wanted to become his wife on the condition that Bandung could build a thousand temples in one night.
The film stars Benny G Rahardja, Minati Atmanegara, Sri Gudhi Sintara, WD Mochtar, Sofia WD, Azwar AN and Pong Hardjatmo. Can Bandung Bondowoso meet Lara Jonggrang's requirements? Watch the full story on tvOne on Sunday, May 29, 2022 at 20.00 WIB.
