Tosun Pasa

it's a real funny film that will guaranteed to make you laugh. an incredible cast and brilliant performances make this film a master piece for Turkish cinema. it's about a poor (and a bit stupid) man who acts as Tosun Pasa who is a strong, rich and famous commander. lucky for the poor man that the people who he tries to deceive have never seen Tosun Pasa before. from then some romance and lots of comedy is waiting for you to watch and have fun. it's not a wonderful story by all means though, but it doesn't mean that the film isn't good. it's a wonderful film that will make you laugh and feel good. definitely 5 out of 5! and if you like this film (you're gonna like it!), then check out "Sut Kardesler" and the series of "Hababam Sinifi".

Tosun Pasa is the masterpiece of Kemal Sunal's career, and the funniest Turkish film i saw.It is also the funniest film i saw after "Airplane!".In this comeedy classic, Kemal Sunal is the stupid housekeeper of the "Tellioglu" family who turns out to be playing the role of "Tosun Pasha", the most powerful Pasha of Alexandria, to gain ownership of "Green Valley". Sener Sen and Kemal Sunal do magnificent acting in this film which i recommend everyone to see.

Thanks to incredible skills of Kemal Sunal, this film is a real piece of art. It also shows us a glimpse of what Sener Sen had in stock those days, when he wasn't as famous as today. Famous Turkish actress Mujde Ar also shows herself in this film. As usual, Halit Akcatepe is the partner of Kemal Sunal in the frenzy. The struggle of two families for Green Valley and their strange methods of occupying the area, women's musical fight in Turkish bath and the moment of truth are to be seen. Although this film looks like Sut Kardesler in terms of atmosphere, in my opinion, Tosun Pasa is the better one for sure. One cannot stop laughing. Non-stop fun!

I think most of the Turkish people are agree with me that tosun paþa is the one of the best films in turkey. First of all in the film there are lots of great players like kemal sunal,sener sen,adile nasit,aysen gruda..etc. They are great players who were played usually in comedy films which become classics like süt kardeþler,gulyabani and davaro. And film scenario was written by yavuz turgul who directed eskiya,muhsin bey and golge oyunu. Well they are great movies too. Finally words cannot be enough to describe the greatness of this great film,you have to watch this film.(but i think its DVD is not on the sell)

If someone says I can watch a movie 5-10 times a year of course you don't believe. But this film makes it true. In Turkey there is no one who doesn't know Tosun Pasha. When you are a child you watch and laugh at the performers (especially Kemal Sunal, Sener Sen facial expressions) ,then after years you realize the film is satirical by many ways.Every time you watch the movie you can realize a different point.But it is sad many of the performers in this film are not between us.Yavuz Tugrul is a good film writer,still making good films and day by day he is getting better.I'm impatient to watch his last film Gonul Yarasi.
