From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Si Doel Anak Sekolahan is an Indonesian soap opera produced, written and directed by Rano Karno who also plays the main character as Doel/Kasdullah. This soap opera has a storyline about the life of Doel and his family, a Betawi family who still maintain traditional values even though they live in the midst of the current modernization of urban Jakarta.[1] In addition to Rano, this soap opera also stars Benyamin Sueb, Maudy Koesnaedi, Cornelia Agatha, Aminah Cendrakasih, Mandra, Suti Karno and Basuki.
Consisting of 6 seasons and 139 episodes, the story is a modern version of the novel Si Doel Anak Betawi by Aman Datuk Majoindo and the film of the same name directed by Sjumandjaja in 1972. In the film version, Rano Karno also plays the role of little Doel and Benyamin S. plays Doel's father. It's just that at that time, Doel's father's name was Asman, not Sabeni like the soap opera version.
