The Most Beautiful Girl in the World (2025) is an Indonesian romantic comedy directed by Robert Ronny, featuring Reza Rahadian as Reuben and Sheila Dara Aisha as Kiara. The film explores themes of love, personal growth, and the influence of media in modern relationships.
Reuben, a charismatic playboy and heir to a media empire, has long dismissed his father’s obsession with television ratings and dating shows. Upon his father’s unexpected passing, Reuben faces an unusual stipulation in the will: to inherit the family fortune and take over the TV production company, he must marry “the most beautiful girl in the world.” To fulfill this condition, Reuben reluctantly agrees to produce a reality dating show titled The Most Beautiful Girl in the World, aiming to find his future wife on-screen.
Kiara, an ambitious and sharp-witted assistant producer, is tasked with overseeing the show. Skeptical of Reuben’s intentions and the authenticity of reality TV, she strives to bring genuine connections to the program. As the production progresses, Reuben and Kiara frequently clash over creative differences, leading to a dynamic filled with tension and witty exchanges.
Despite the show’s glamorous facade, Reuben begins to question the superficial nature of his quest. His interactions with Kiara reveal her dedication and resilience, qualities he grows to admire. An unexpected turn of events leaves Reuben and Kiara stranded on a remote island, forcing them to rely on each other for survival. This experience deepens their bond, challenging their initial perceptions and fostering genuine affection.
Upon their return, Reuben faces a dilemma: proceed with the show’s outcome or pursue his true feelings for Kiara. Choosing authenticity over pretense, he cancels the televised wedding and proposes to Kiara, acknowledging her as “the most beautiful girl in the world” in his eyes. Initially hesitant due to the unconventional circumstances, Kiara eventually accepts, leading to a heartfelt conclusion that emphasizes the importance of genuine connection over superficial appearances.
The Most Beautiful Girl in the World combines humor and emotion, offering a fresh perspective on love and the impact of media on personal relationships. The film was released on Netflix on February 14, 2025, aligning with Valentine’s Day to underscore its romantic theme.
