Mokhtarnameh

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

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.

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 .

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

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.
