Sri Asih

Sri Asih (2022) is an Indonesian superhero action film you can watch online on iFILM — a fresh option for anyone tired of Hollywood franchises and curious about myth from the other side of the world. Director Upi Avianto puts Pevita Pearce front and center. It runs 135 minutes.

Alana has never quite fit in. Sudden bursts of rage unleash a strength she can barely control, and it frightens her. Chasing an international crime ring, she uncovers the truth about herself — she's no ordinary woman but the incarnation of the goddess Asih, meant to guard humanity. A mystical fighting scarf awakens her as Sri Asih, able to summon spirits. The catch: the same fury that makes her a protector could just as easily make her a force of ruin.

This is the second chapter of the Bumilangit Cinematic Universe, built from Indonesian comics dating back to the 1950s, and it brings the country's first big-screen heroine. The fights land hard, with none of the polished Western gloss, and the folklore roots give a familiar genre an unexpected flavor. A solid pick for fans of Asian action and anyone wondering how superhero stories get rebuilt outside Marvel. Stream Sri Asih (2022) online on iFILM.
