Shabhaye Barareh

I used to watch it when i was little and now I'm watching it again. It's awsome I just love it.

Actually mehran modiry gave us the new generation of movies that I don't think it'll happen again owing to some jerks in our national television

i am a great fan of British, American and iranian comedy, and before i ever saw barareh my favourite comedies were nbc's 'scrubs' and bbc's 'only fools and horses', but i can honestly say these have been taken over by the amazing 'shabhaye barareh'. no comedy i have seen has been so funny and so poignant and so true to life in Iran, and on so many levels, as this series. perhaps the very fact that it wasn't finished off properly gives it more of a legendary status, much like 'only fools and horses' had before they started doing the one-off specials. and when you consider the budget and the schedule these guys were doing, it makes you wonder what sort of level of genius mehran modiri et al work at. he is said to be working on a new comedy, but i hope fans won't be too critical by comparing it to barareh, as this surely was his finest hour.

Shabhaye Barareh, is a mirror to Modern Iran, the struggle of tradition and contemplation. It is through this struggle that Modiri (the director) makes us to laugh, and to enjoy our time. There is a lack of pretension, a sincerity and a candor in all the scenes which makes us to love People of Barareh, to laugh at them, to criticize them, and to see ourselves in them. A show that you will not regret to watch it twice!!! The story is seen through the eyes of Keyanoosh, a Journalist who seeks to change and modernize this forgotten village as he too like the audiences is stuck with something within these people, and he keep asking: "Do you know why I am here!!!" . And no one does!! It is a world of imagination and reality, or a paradox!!.

It is one of the most creative and best Iranian comedy series. The story of this series takes place in a village around Tehran called Barareh. This village is not real and all the characters and dialects of the villagers are made by the creative minds of the series' writers. This series can be considered as one of the best series in the whole history. Even at the global level, it has to be discussed a lot. The dialogues and creations used in all episodes of this series are very beautiful and have raised the comedy level of the series very high.
