What happens

Ketika Cinta Bertasbih is a 2009 Indonesian Islamic romance film directed by Chaerul Umam. Starring Cholidi Asadil Alam, Alice Norin, and Oki Setiana Dewi, it follows a young Indonesian student of Al-Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt, who is caught in a love triangle with the daughter of an ambassador and a master's student. Based on the novel of the same name by Habiburrahman El Shirazy, Ketika Cinta Bertasbih was released following the success of Ayat-Ayat Cinta (Verses of Love, 2008). Dissatisfied with the earlier adaptation of his novel, the filmmakers cast amateurs through a lengthy open audition process and emphasized the film's Islamic nature. Produced with a budget of approximately Rp 40 billion (USD 4 million), Ketika Cinta Bertasbih was released on 11 June 2009 to commercial success, becoming the best-selling Indonesian film of the year. The film received several awards, as well as a sequel and two television series. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
