The film itself, which translates to 'Father, I Want to Tell You,' focuses on the crucial role of fathers and family within a narrative. Vino G.

This night is very special for all of us. Because this is a tribute to our parents, to our family, to our loved ones. Without them, perhaps a house has no meaning.

'Ayah, Aku Mau Cerita' is an official adaptation of the 2013 Malayalam film 'Drishyam.' The Indonesian version is written and directed by Danial Rifki. The film's theme, 'Malam 10.000 Ayah' (Night of 10,000 Fathers), celebrated during the premiere, is intended as an appreciation for fathers who strive to protect their families.

The premiere was attended by cast and crew, including Marsha Timothy and Ziva Magnolya. Magnolya, who performed the film's soundtrack 'Pelindungmu' (Your Protector) with Andmesh Kamaleng, described the song as a preview of the movie's story. The film is scheduled for release in Indonesian cinemas on August 20, 2026.

From the song 'Pelindungmu,' everything was created by Kak Andmesh Kamaleng, with all the stories I've told about this film, resulting in the song 'Pelindungmu.'
