Premise

Ijal loses his job while his mother is burdened with debt. He attempts to make ends meet by taking on odd jobs with his best friend, Adut. Facing financial difficulties, they recruit music fans Melodi and Tia to plan a pickpocketing operation at the Pestapora music festival.

Cast

Production

The idea of Operasi Pesta Copet originated when director Edy Khemod received news that a pickpocket had been caught at a music festival wearing merchandise from his band, Seringai. A clip of the film was shown during Pestapora 2025, introducing the film and its cast under working title Operasi Pesta Pora. In June 2026, the film title was changed to Operasi Pesta Copet. Producer Ernest Prakasa explained that the change was intended to make the film's context and central conflict easier for audiences to understand.

Principal photography took place in various locations in Jakarta, including on location during the Pestapora music festival in September 2025.

Release

Operasi Pesta Copet was released in Indonesian theatres on 27 August 2026. It garnered 505,574 admissions during its theatrical run.
