Maling Kutang (literally The Bra Thief) is a 2009 Indonesian comedy film directed by Rako Prijanto.
Starring Arie K. Untung, Indra Birowo, Deswita Maharani, and Kinaryosih, it follows two neighbours who steal a bra they think is magical.
That night he sneaks into Yuyun and Syamsul's home, dressed as a demon, to take the bra, but must leave after he is spotted.
When Ina tries to pick them up, the cycle starts again: the new neighbours think she is praying, and begin planning to steal the garment.
Maling Kutang was directed by Rako Prijanto, best known for his comedies,[1] and produced by Ody Mulya Hidayat of Maxima Pictures.
A review of the film in The Jakarta Globe suggested that Dika had an "incongruous style of observational humour", which remained evident in Maling Kutang.
[2] The film starred Arie K. Untung, Indra Birowo, Deswita Maharani, and Kinaryosih, with minor roles played by actors including Fanny Fadillah and Nani Widjaja.
[2] In an interview, Kinaryosih – who had several years' experience working in comedies – stated that she had been told the title was Kutang Kutangkap (I Catch a Bra) during casting.
The reviewer praised several aspects of the film, including Untung's "Jim Carrey-esque" performance, and summarised that Maling Kutang was sufficient for "a few light laughs", but audiences might find it better to wait for Menculik Miyabi.
[3] A review on the entertainment website KapanLagi.com found the film better than its title suggested, with a clear plot and good performances by Birowo and Maharani, but considered the reliance on sexual innuendo to be poor form.
