A high school love story set in Bandung has reportedly entered the all-time top-five of Indonesian cinema.
Production house Falcon Pictures announced on Instagram on Wednesday that the movie, Dilan 1990, had so far been watched by 4,166,000 people – after just 13 days of screening.

As reported by tempo.co, that number means the flick’s popularity has shoved Warkop DKI Reborn: Jangkrik Boss Part 2 from the all-time box office's top five, relegating it to sixth position with a total audience of 4,083,190, according to filmindonesia.or.id.
As it has only been out less than two weeks, Dilan 1990 is estimated to soon surpass other popular films, like Pengabdi Setan (Satan's Slave), Habibie & Ainun and Laskar Pelangi (Rainbow Troops), which all attracted an audience of around 4 million. It might even claim the number one spot, held since 2016 by Warkop DKI Reborn: Jangkrik Boss Part 1 with 6,858,616 viewers. (kes)
