Gundala

Gundala (2019) is an Indonesian superhero action film you can watch online on iFILM. Director Hoко Anwar adapted the classic 1969 comic book character to launch the Bumilangit Cinematic Universe, with Abimana Aryasatya in the lead and Tara Basro as an investigative journalist whose story converges with his.

Sancaka grew up alone on the streets of Jakarta after his father was killed during a labour protest and his mother never came back from her search for work. Survival taught him one rule: stay out of other people's fights. He carries that rule into adulthood — until a lightning strike leaves him able to channel electrical charges, and the city's escalating violence makes neutrality impossible. The threat he faces isn't a generic villain; it's a political machine built on poverty and mob rule.

What separates Gundala from the standard origin-story playbook is the weight it gives to class and injustice — the superhero is almost incidental to a story about what happens to people the system discards. For a debut entry in a new cinematic universe, it earns its ambitions. Stream Gundala (2019) online on iFILM.
