List of Warkop films

Warkop is a comedy group comprising Wahjoe Sardono (Dono), Kasino Hadiwibowo (Kasino), Indrodjojo Kusumonegoro (Indro), Nanu Moeljono, and Rudy Badil. Dono, Kasino, Nanu, and Rudy were students at the University of Indonesia, while Indro attended Pancasila University. They initially gained popularity with the radio show Obrolan Santai di Warung Kopi, broadcast by Radio Prambors. In this show, Dono portrayed Slamet from Central Java, Kasino played various characters including Mas Bei (Javanese), Acing/Acong (Chinese), Sanwani (Betawi), and Buyung (Minang), and Indro took on roles like Mastowi (Tegal), Paijo (Purbalingga), and Ubai or Ansori. Nanu played Poltak from North Sumatra, and Rudi Badil portrayed Mr. James (Chinese) and Bang Cholil.

The group transitioned to the silver screen with their debut in the 1980 film Mana Tahaaan... under the banner Warkop Prambors. However, Rudy Badil withdrew due to stage fright, leaving four members to participate. The film was successful, but shortly after, Nanu left the group and died in 1983.

In 1980, Parkit Film, led by Raam Punjabi, became the primary producer for Warkop films, a partnership that lasted until 1985. Subsequently, Warkop collaborated with Soraya Intercine Films under Ram Soraya's leadership. Their first film with Soraya, Atas Boleh Bawah Boleh (1986), marked the transition from Warkop Prambors to Warkop DKI (Dono-Kasino-Indro). Other production companies, such as Garuda Film under Hendrick Gozali, also contributed to producing Warkop films.

From 1980 to 1995, Warkop starred in a total of 34 comedy films and one docudrama. Their films were typically released during major holidays such as Christmas, New Year, or Eid Al-Fitr. According to Indro, Warkop films consistently performed well at the Indonesian box office, despite occasional disappointments like IQ Jongkok and Setan Kredit.

The story begins with Slamet, Paijo, Sanwani, and Poltak meeting as students in Jakarta. They rent rooms in Aunt Mira's house and develop an affection for Halimah, the maid there. Later, it's revealed that Halimah is pregnant, which angers Aunt Mira since none of her boarders admit responsibility. After a thorough investigation, it's uncovered that Aunt Mira's boyfriend, Sugeng, is the father. Aunt Mira expels Sugeng and Halimah from her house. Despite initially evicting all the boarders, Aunt Mira rejoices upon discovering they have all graduated from university.

This film marks Nanu Moeljono's sole appearance with Warkop. He left the group shortly after its release, and the character of Poltak was subsequently portrayed by Dorman Borisman in the film Gede Rasa.

Slamet, the son of a wealthy tobacco merchant, Paijo, the son of an oil tycoon, and Sanwani, the son of a small workshop owner, are all studying at the same university. They each fall in love with Rita, the daughter of a lecturer, and compete eagerly for her affections. However, their hopes are dashed when they discover that Rita's father has already arranged for her to marry a pilot.

Dono, Kasino, Indro, and Dorman Borisman decide to venture into the detective agency business. However, misunderstandings arise among them, causing their friendship to split into two factions: Team Kasino-Dono and Team Indro-Dorman. Both teams compete fiercely to prove themselves as top detectives. The rivalry intensifies as they vie to hire a beautiful secretary and showcase their detective skills. Little do they know, their secretaries betray them by dating each other and leaking confidential information back and forth.
