    Pretty surprising ending!

    I really liked the ending though the whole movie was so ordinary.

    Awful

    Really a piece of garbage and an insult to Iranian art. It is in particular insulting towards Iranian musicians outside of Iran who depsite all the hardship and being banned in their own country, managed to keep Persian music alive for 40 years in exile. Truly shameful.

    Boring

    It wasn't worth it my time. It's neither a good drama nor a good comedy, although it's advertised to be a comedy. I'd label it as a boring drama. Don't recommend!

    Very good

    I really like it. It's a different comedy movie from mostafa kiaee

    Garbage and Trash and Garbage.

    Its supposed to be a comedy but it doesn't make you laugh. The actors were good but they played artificially. It has a highly stupid story and its also very low class.
