Dalam Mihrab Cinta

About This Movie

Dalam Mihrab Cinta is this intriguing blend of drama and thriller that pulls you into the intense world of a pesantren in Kediri. The story follows Syamsul, a young man who steps away from a comfortable life to pursue knowledge and, incidentally, a complex relationship with Zizi, the owner's daughter. The film has this palpable tension, weaving through themes of faith, sacrifice, and personal ambition. The atmosphere is thick with the rituals and struggles of life in a religious boarding school, and the pacing feels right, maintaining your engagement without rushing through the emotional beats. Performances, especially from Dude Herlino and Meyda Sefira, feel genuine and layered, providing depth to their characters. It's not your typical narrative, which makes it stand out in the Indonesian cinema landscape.
