JAKARTA - Mumun's film increased the number of viewers significantly on the first weekend of its broadcast. If Thursday, September 1, the film, starring Acha Septriasa, gets 60,628, the number will increase to 286,755 after four days of airing.

Mandra, who initially wrote the story of Mumun being the soap opera So Pocong, said he was happy and optimistic about this achievement. According to him, this is a form of appreciation for the figure of Mumun who really lived.

"This Mumun figure really exists. The story becomes urban legend like the Sweet Ancol Bridge," said Mandra when contacted Monday, September 5.

After the premiere, Mandra gave a message not to make fun of people named Mumun. "Because of what? Mumun is your favorite child. Not to be poked at, he is called Eneng because everyone loves Mumun," he explained.

Mumun, continued Mandra, disappeared one day when he was invited to a rubber plantation by a man. "The man who drove him said that at that time he entered the city area. Even though at that time in the Cibubur area, he was still wearing rubber. After that Mumun disappeared without a trace," he said.

It was this story that made Mandra hesitate to use the name Mumun as a title at first. "I was cold for three days and three nights because Mr. Dheeraj asked Mumun to be the title. That's why I ask the crew to take care of themselves during filming, nothing should be arbitrary," he explained.

With the selling of the Mumun film, Mandra hopes that the community can appreciate the people they love more. "The story is not just scary and laughing. But there is a family story raised in this film. Hopefully, it can touch the box office. Thank you to the audience for their support," concluded Mandra.
