    Lessons of Ashura and Mokhtarname

    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.

    Historical series

    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

    The revenge that attacks hard.

    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.

    Beautiful and complex story

    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.
