The story of Badarawuhi di Desa Penari (Dancing Village: The Curse Begins) not only emphasizes the impression of horror but is also magical and magnificent. Added to that, the figure of Badarawuhi played by Aulia Sarah is so “dark” that it transmits a negative aura to anyone near her. Since the film is also shown in America, the quality displayed is certainly not half-hearted. Here are testimonials from the audience in Gala Premiere Badarawuhi: a world-class film with international quality!
International Quality World Film, That’s the Story of Badarawuhi di Desa Penari in the Eyes of the Audience
Aulia Sarah as Badarawuhi appears different from the first KKN Universe film, namely KKN di Desa Penari. Kimo Stamboel as the director explained that the appearance, including the make-up worn by Aulia Sarah as Badarawuhi is “darker” than before because that is her identity.
Badarawuhi is not just a beautiful dancer, but a snake spirit figure who is always looking for dawuh (dancers) to dance and entertain the spirits in the supernatural world with her forever. However, this mission to find dawuh is not an easy mission, because there will always be victims who die because of the terror given by Badarawuhi.
Well, the film Badarawuhi di Desa Penari is not only shown in Indonesia but also in America. In fact, MD Pictures is working with Lionsgate to distribute this film to the international scene. This film is showing in IMAX and 4DX, so the experience you get when watching on these two platforms will certainly feel more real.
