Si Doel Anak Sekolahan (literally translated as Doel the Schoolchild) is an Indonesian television series produced, written and directed by Rano Karno who also stars as Doel/Kasdullah. This series has a storyline about the life of Doel and his family from Betawi, who still maintain traditional values even though they live in the midst of the current modernization of urban Jakarta.[1] Besides Rano Karno, this series also stars Benyamin Sueb, Maudy Koesnaedi, Cornelia Agatha, Aminah Cendrakasih, Mandra, Suti Karno and Basuki.

Consisting of 6 seasons and 139 episodes, the storyline is loosely based from the novel Si Doel Anak Betawi by Aman Datuk Majoindo and also loose continuation from the film with same title directed by Sjumandjaja in 1972. In the film version, Rano Karno also plays Si Doel and Benyamin Sueb plays the role of as Doel's father. The difference is, Doel's father's name is Asman, not Sabeni like in this series.

When it first aired in 1994, the Si Doel series immediately became a favorite TV show for the Indonesian people, and was able to beat foreign serials which at that time were widely broadcast by several Indonesian television stations. The success of Si Doel Anak Sekolahan then made Rano Karno develop this story again in other versions, including Si Doel Anak Gedongan, the television movie Si Doel Anak Pinggiran, and three cinema titles although of all of them only cinema films received good success. Together with the Keluarga Cemara and Lorong Waktu, Si Doel Anak Sekolahan is often referred to as the golden masterpiece from the Indonesian television series.[2][3][4][5]

Plot

Kasdullah, commonly known as Doel, is a native Betawi boy who strives to uphold the noble values of his family in modern-day Jakarta. His parents have always encouraged him to work in a reputable company, unlike his father Sabeni, who works as an oplet driver.

In the second season, Doel faces the challenge of finding a job after graduating from college. He secures employment in several companies but is later forbidden by his father from working outside of Java. However, Doel remains determined, especially after developing a close bond with Sarah, an Indonesian-Dutch girl who has feelings for him. Additionally, Doel finds himself entangled in a complicated situation with Zainab, his childhood friend whom he was supposedly engaged to. The season concludes with Sarah inviting Doel and his family for a vacation in Anyer.

The third season brings tragedy as Sabeni passes away in an accident during their return from Anyer. Doel's burden grows heavier, particularly because he remains unemployed. Moreover, the dynamics between Doel, Sarah, and Zainab become more complex, resulting in conflicts among the trio. Towards the end of the season, Doel finally secures the job he desired but is faced with new challenges. He is required to travel to France and Switzerland to learn new machining systems. Fueled by Sarah's love and Mak Nyak's blessings, Doel embarks on this task.

In the fourth season, after returning from Zurich, Switzerland, Doel finds himself waiting for a new assignment from his company. In the meantime, he resumes driving the old oplet left by his father. However, tensions arise in Doel and Sarah's relationship due to Doel's secretive gift-giving to Zainab.

The fifth season is marked by the passing of Engkong Ali, which brings sadness to the Doel family. Amidst the sorrow, there is good news as Atun is soon to marry Karyo. Additionally, Doel receives a long-term assignment from his office, requiring him to travel to Kalimantan. Sarah, who genuinely loves Doel, requests permission to accompany him and asks him to marry her.

The sixth season delves into Doel's life as an office employee. His deployment to Kalimantan is temporarily postponed. Meanwhile, he continues to struggle with choosing between Sarah and Zainab. Eventually, Zainab marries a man named Henry. In the final episode, Doel finally marries Sarah.

Production

Rano Karno revealed that the plot of Si Doel Anak Sekolahan was only slightly taken from the novel Si Doel Anak Betawi written by Aman Datuk Madjoindo. Unlike in the film version in the 1970s, Rano admitted that he did not agree if his series were fully adapted from novels because he saw that times had changed and Doel in the novel version only graduated from elementary school. That's why in the series version he tells the more modern Si Doel by being described as a college graduate.[17]

There were three actors who were illiterate during production: Bendot, Pak Tile and Nacih. To get around these obstacles, said Rano, he gave directions verbally and directly to the three players. However, Rano added, the three of them were able to absorb the scenario well. In fact, it can provide acting improvisation beyond expectations.[18]

Oplet, based from Morris Minor 1000, became an icon in the Si Doel series. According to Rano, he found the oplet from someone in the Kramat Jati area, East Jakarta. Previously the oplet was being used as a chicken coop. Rano bought it for 525,000 rupiah in 1993.[19] He later repaired the oplet although it still retains some of the original elements in the engine. After the filming of the Si Doel series ended, Rano then restored the oplet by replacing the engine with a Mini Cooper engine.[20] The interior was also replaced with teak wood chairs.[21]

Broadcast

Si Doel first aired on January 16, 1994 on RCTI. For the first season, it was mini-series with total six episodes. The success of the premiere season then made Rano Karno resume production for the second season which premiered on October 14, 1994. The third season, which premiered in 1996, became the longest season with 48 episodes. While the fourth season which aired in 1998 became the shortest season with 16 episodes.

Since the fifth season in 2000, the broadcast has shifted from RCTI to Indosiar. In the sixth season (2003), the image format of Si Doel was changed to 16:9 aspect ratio, although for television broadcasts itself, letterboxing was carried out to a 4:3 aspect ratio.

Since August 25, 2006, Si Doel was re-aired on RCTI from the first to the fourth season and then jumped to the sixth season due to copyright issues for the fifth season with Indosiar. Currently, in addition to conventional television, this series is also broadcast online through the RCTI+ application.

Further development

Si Doel Anak Gedongan (2006)

After Si Doel 6 which was released in 2003, Rano Karno had chosen not to continue Si Doel.[22] But because of the enthusiasm of fans, Rano melted and continued Si Doel's story with the title Si Doel Anak Gedongan.[23] Still continuing the plot after Si Doel 6, in Si Doel Anak Gedongan it was told that Doel has become a rich man with an established position in his company. Meanwhile, Mak Nyak lives with Mandra, who opens a homerental business with an inheritance from Nyak Rodiah. Atun and Mas Karyo are also happy because Atun is pregnant. Problems arise when Sarah is pregnant and Zainab is having problems with her husband. When Sarah was in need of Doel, Doel was even more concerned with Zainab who was sad because her husband had neglected her. Sarah was finally sad and chose to return to the Netherlands after learning that Doel helped Zainab who had a miscarriage.[23] This storyline was then continued in a television film titled Si Doel Anak Pinggiran in 2011.

Si Doel Anak Pinggiran (2011)

In Si Doel Anak Pinggiran, it is explained that Doel lost his job and was even expelled by his mother-in-law because of Sarah's flight to the Netherlands, who for almost six years did not want to return to Jakarta. Now Doel's life is back to square one. He returned to the house left by his father with Mak Nyak who was sick. Atun was just left by Mas Karyo who died. Henry, Zainab's husband, chooses a divorce and on the advice of Mak Nyak, Doel marries Zainab.[24][25] After marrying Zaenab, Doel was contacted by Sarah's mother to come to her house. There, Doel was met with a child he had helped while on the beach. It was there that Doel was informed that the child was his son named Abdullah/Dul.

This storyline was later developed again in the Si Doel film trilogy which was released in 2018.

Si Doel's trilogy

The Doel film trilogy was first released in 2018 under the title Si Doel the Movie. In this film, Si Doel finally meets Sarah again in the Netherlands.[26]

In the second film titled Si Doel the Movie 2, which was released in 2019, it focused more on the figure of Zainab who was sad and unsure whether to let Doel go back to Sarah or stay with him no matter what happened.[27]

Meanwhile, in the third film entitled Akhir Kisah Cinta Si Doel, it is told that Sarah finally chose to divorce Doel after meeting and discussing with Zainab, who was known to be pregnant. Abdullah or Doel Jr. chose to live in Jakarta when his mother chose to return to the Netherlands.[28]

Notes

  1. ^ Even though there was a suggestion for Rano Karno to replace the Sabeni actor with someone with a similar face, Rano chose not to do it for reasons of respecting Benyamin's legacy. Finally, Rano then rewrote the scenario by telling that Sabeni died in an accident.[6]
  2. ^ As a professional lawyer in reality, Djoni is also a legal advisor to Rano Karno and the Karnos Film team.[15]
  3. ^ In reality, Adam Jagwani is Malaysian actor. He was deported by the Indonesian government which made Rano Karno rewrite the storyline by being told that he returned to the Netherlands after graduating from college.[16]
