Novia Puspa Sari

Novia Puspa Sari isn’t just another name floating around the Indonesian film scene—she’s got a knack for picking projects that hit you right in the feels. Take “Arini by Love.inc” from 2022, for example. It’s not your run-of-the-mill romance. There’s this raw honesty in the way relationships are shown, messy and awkward, but also kind of beautiful. Novia brings Arini to life with this blend of stubborn independence and vulnerability that honestly, just makes you root for her even when she’s making questionable choices. And hey, don’t sleep on “Kancil,” or “Nanti Kita Cerita Tentang Hari Ini” from 2020 either. The latter, which translates to “One Day We’ll Talk About Today,” is the kind of family drama that sneaks up on you. It’s not all melodrama and tears—there’s this subtle tension simmering through the whole thing. Novia isn’t the main character, but when she’s on screen, it’s like the air shifts. She’s got this understated style—nothing flashy, just a steady presence that makes the emotional moments land even harder. She doesn’t need a ton of screen time to leave a mark. What’s cool about her picks is they’re never cookie-cutter roles. Each one peels back another layer of how complicated people can be, whether it’s dealing with love, loss, or just trying to figure out where you fit in. Basically, Novia Puspa Sari is low-key building a reputation for bringing heart and depth to every project she touches.
