Manuskrip Cinta

# Manuscript of Love The story follows Aryani, a full-time writer. Aryani enjoys experimenting with manuscripts to find something unique in every manuscript she writes. Her fourth manuscript is not approved for release by her editor, Kak Adibah, who feels that the love story she wrote is too empty without an antagonist character. Kak Adibah challenges Aryani to fall in love if she wants to write a love story that touches people's hearts and is more dramatic. The original character written in Aryani's manuscript is actually based on Dr. Rian Akasyah, a heart specialist doctor, a cardiologist who rents the house next door to hers. Aryani always observes Rian's movements, learns about Rian's career and matters concerning the life of a heart specialist doctor. Rian's fiancée, Helena, is also included in her manuscript. Because Kak Adibah tells her to fall in love, Aryani is forced to find a white mouse boyfriend to experiment with love in her manuscript.

Directed by Jamal Khan, Manuskrip Cinta leans on a strong ensemble — Siti Saleha, Fadlan Hazim, Hafidz Roshdi — 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 screen titles of 2019.
