Kodrat feels the loss after his friend, Solikhin, is shot dead by the police. They both come from poverty and are brought up in an orphanage. In return, they always donate the money they earn from their crimes to the orphanage. Kodrat wants revenge but his boss gives him an order to execute Solikhin’s girlfriend, Susy. He is not willing to do it. Instead, he brings Susy to the police, and goes to the orphanage to give away everything he owns. Mustakin, the patron of the orphanage, reveals Kodrat’s identity. He also tells Kodrat that the person who shot Solikhin is Sofyan, a friend from the orphanage. The bloody climax is inevitable, and the patron who tries to intervene becomes a victim.
Directed by Slamet Rahardjo, Kodrat leans on a strong ensemble — Slamet Rahardjo, Anna Tairas, Piet Pagau — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1986.
