Widya Arifianti

Widya Arifianti’s name pops up in some of the more interesting corners of Indonesian cinema lately. She’s got a knack for picking projects that don’t just blend into the background, you know? Take “Arini by Love.inc” from 2022, for example. That one’s got all the hallmarks of a romance flick, but it’s not your typical, paint-by-numbers love story. There’s a bit of tech thrown in, a dash of longing, and Widya brings this realness to her role that makes you root for her character even when things get messy. Then there’s “Nussa: The Movie” from 2021. Honestly, it’s wild how she can jump from a grown-up romance straight into a family-friendly animated feature and still deliver. “Nussa” isn’t just a cute kids’ movie—it dives into themes of family, faith, and growing up without coming off as preachy. Widya’s voice work? Spot on. She brings warmth to the role, which is probably why the film hit home for so many families. Fast forward to 2023 and she’s in “Kitab Kencan.” Now, this movie’s a bit of a curveball. It’s got dating, drama, awkward encounters—basically, all the cringe and chaos that comes with trying to find love in the digital age. Widya’s performance is sharp, bringing out both the comedy and the heartbreak without missing a beat. If you’re into films that feel honest about how weird relationships can get, her work in this one is a must-see. Bottom line: Widya picks roles with some bite, and she’s not afraid to switch things up.
