Excellent series. A historical series related to Mukhtar, who took revenge on Hussein bin Ali (AS). It is a good and expensive series Of course with an interesting story and action scenes

Epic series about tragic death of imam Hussain with brilliant act of Fariborz Arabnia.

Mokhtar is a Shia Muslim leader who set up a movement in 686 A.D in the town of Kufa to avenge the death of Imam Hussein (AS). 'Mokhtarnameh' is the sixth TV series directed by Mirbaqeri. The series, which took five years to complete, includes 42 episodes and is produced by Sima Films. The story reviews the events leading to the martyrdom of the Imams and ends with the adolescence of Mokhtar. The film also deals with 16 years of Mokhtar's life and includes the death of Mo'awiyah, the succession of Yazid ibn-Mo'awiyah, and the events leading to Ashura and whatever related to the uprising of Mokhtar until his and his companions' martyrdom I saw this film one of the best TV film. real story and history of Mokhtar. I suggest everyone to see this. enjoy and learn.

The war scenes are extraordinary, keeping in mind that Iran's movie industry is 10 years behind Hollywood, technologically. I watch Mokhtarnaame every week and enjoy it. You may find it on YouTube and/or www.soltanworld.com.

I think the series have a message to Iranian people. Watch and listen closely. You may hear the message too.

Some tips: " Imam Hossein (AS) is called MORTAD by Yazid's people. Meaning he doesn't believe in God." " Whomever speaks against the government, will be killed or put behind bars." and many other things.

SOUNDS familiar????

Mokhtarnameh has been the undisputed champion of Iranian TV.

Despite all the problems of censorship and meeting arbitrary thresholds imposed by the state TV, and the narrow minded criticism from few critics, it remains watchable even today, after multiple airings every year around the same occasions. It also tailors itself to a broader audience with its non-religion-specific appeal. What keeps you interested is well-balanced so as not to be exclusively and neither be devoid of any cultural background.

The most gripping part is the brilliant well-thought screenplay, so Shakespearean I'd dare say it fares quite well in comparison to timeless renowned TV shows starring the best of Hollywood.

I wish we, as Iranians, got more of this. I wish filmmakers and TV producers put more effort into their work than the hollow mediocre cash grab that everything seems to be nowadays. I wish every show was a Mokhtarnameh.

Mokhtarnameh(2010-2011) is Very goog tv series in Historical genre.

The history and events of Ashura are quite clear and true.

I hope you watch this series.

after imam Hossein killed in Karbala ( city in Iraq ) a revelation happened in shies heart in Kofeh and different group of shies Muslims raised because of that event and also Mokhtar was one of the who could take the revenge of people who killed in karbala . it's the second work of Mirbagheri after imam Ali . lots of history-religion movie have made by Iranians director but lots of people believe that Mirbagheries work are the best between them . his work are so close to the real and the dialogs are attractive and exiting . this series took around eight years to make and you can see that most of cast choose correctly and they matches to their characters .

Mokhtar proved everyone can be looklike Imam hossein in Ashura The lesson of this part of history is the worst people are people who do wrong and makeup that wrong looklike right they are look like a coin who one side of it is picture of god and other side is evil wise persons see the evil and stupids see the god cause they come with cloth of humanity honesty and god but all they done is what evil do and the one who make them be effective are people who see the evil behavior but be quiet because of stupid reasons There are 1000 reasons for running away of truth But one reason is enough for action correctly.

MOKHTARNAMEH is a romance drama, and a bloody tragedy. Scenes, cinematography and special effects have been done with finesse. The strength of the film is the skillfully written dialogues of actors. The author's deep impression of historical events and the artistic narrative of historical gray tales brings your trust in the film. If you are ready to understand "Imam Hussein's great Ashoura movement", I invite you to see this fascinating series.

Director done his work very fabulously .. want more series like that . Complete history till 11 th imam

A detailed and historical series about one of the most important periods in the history of Shiite Islam. The story of a clever man and a politician waging a massive uprising to avenge the tragic death of Imam Hussein. However, the series was produced by IRIB/Iran and the director was forced to censor and remove parts of the series. But it is definitely a fascinating story for Shiite followers. Production of this series took 12 years

One of the best Iranian motion pictures that has been ever made. You can sense the high quality of the story, the great ability of the actors/actresses, and historical and religious value of this major work. Not forgottable, not deniable. This movie is and will remain great.

It's been around 10 times or more i've watched these series.one of the best and most effective series in my whole life.i'm proud to see a realy time taking series (it took seven years to make it) To have such a great point among other series Thank god :)

Best series of my life I never seen this type of series before it is a good series I am giving this series 10 stars it is my favourite series. Best Direction Best Casting Best performance best music best scenes.

The series is old but the story is amazing it is the best historical show i have ever seen. Imam hussain was the hope of humanity to live in god order but the unbelievers killed him.

Watch the stars shine, acting in this master piece.

Saga of a blood seeking avenger, who won't let down until he gets what he wants!!!!

Remember the name "Mukhtar" the one who rised against the unrighteous caliph "yazid" and the corrupt caliphate "omavids"

Let's say I have NOT watched a show so many times as much as this one.

Even though I know the story (true story) of a man named mokhtar althakafi who avenged the death and slaying of Imam Hussein the son of Fatima the daughter Prophet Mohammed peace be upon them.

Yesss! The lady of heaven!

I am writing this review a couple of days after the release of The lady of heaven, which tells the story of lady Fatima the daughter of Prophet Mohammed and the mother of Imam Hussein the Prophet's grand child.

I think this review is late but its just becuase I made a late account here on IMDB.

Long story short.. They director does amazing job just like reliving everything from locations to buildings and clothing etc.. Just watch it and enjoy.

It was so cool movie.i so love it It was perfect I'm so glad to see this movie You can see it too.
