Indonesia's expanding superhero universe finds a female-led entry in Sri Asih, a 2022 fantasy-action feature built around an ordinary young woman's discovery that she carries an extraordinary inheritance.
What is Sri Asih about?
Alana has spent her life believing she is nothing unusual, until a string of unexplained events forces her to confront the truth about where she came from. She learns she may be bound to Sri Asih, a protector figure whose power could shield people from harm, or, left unchecked, turn against them. The film follows her attempt to understand and master that inheritance before circumstances make the choice for her, set against a modern Indonesian backdrop where ordinary life and myth sit side by side.
About the cast
The cast is led by Pevita Pearce alongside Jefri Nichol, with veteran actress Christine Hakim and Reza Rahadian, two of Indonesian cinema's most recognizable names, rounding out a lineup that also includes Dimas Anggara, Surya Saputra, Randy Pangalila, and Jenny Zhang. Director Upi Avianto oversees a production that leans on genre spectacle while keeping its central performance grounded.
Context & significance
Sri Asih sits within a wave of Southeast Asian genre filmmaking that draws on regional folklore and comic-book traditions to build large-scale action stories with a local identity. At 134 minutes, it gives its origin story room to develop before its larger set pieces arrive, and it blends fantasy, science fiction, and drama rather than staying inside a single genre lane.
Watching Sri Asih on Ktime
Sri Asih streams on K-Time with Persian dubbing and Persian subtitles available, making it accessible to Farsi-speaking viewers who want the film in their own language or with the original track subtitled.
