Mevlana Celaleddin-i Rumi

Marvelously told very touching awakening story. Cast is very good, story is very accurately written, historical realism is so good that you are experiencing that age in every aspect.

TRT digital channel Tabii is already very successful with most of the films on that channel. So I really advise film lovers to follow that digital channel to get some fresh air who feels so bored with old stereotype movies like me.

About this tv series started so good I am hoping will be contiue in this quality till end.

I would also like to thank specially to screen writers. They do great job by capturing the spirit and teachings of the Rumi very deeply.

I started the first episode with great excitement, just because Rumi is the poet who makes me cry so easily. No one before or after Rumi has reached such depth, love and breadth of humanistic intellect. No nationalist or religious propaganda can fit around him, and unfortunately this production does exactly that. It takes away from Rumi his greatest achievements, his design of a unique society in the history of humanity that allowed it to flourish through the equal value of all its citizens, religious tolerance and justice.

Let's get to the spicy stuff. The total acceptance of same-sex love in times when the West was experiencing executions by the Inquisition is something great, just imagine it. It is known that Rumi wrote his most beautiful poems about his beloved Dervish (whispers of the Beloved), one can compare them with those of the Buddhist bibliography of Japanese monks or with the poetry of the Greek Sappho, before the 15th century there are few but significant poems that highlight same-sex love in world culture and many of them belong to Rumi. And yet, none of these aspects of him were included in the script. I saw a character dry of human qualities, well-polished and made to appeal to a very specific television audience. Everything looks pretentious and obviously ... "straight", even the Sufi transcendence scene of the first episode reminds of a bunch of hooligans or Vikings preparing for battle, nothing that moves from humility to ecstasy.

Here, the Transcendence is just CGI.

Another sweaty imitation of Game of Thrones in terms of cinematography, direction, photography and art direction - nothing new or original, too many boring slow shots and quite mediocre CGI. The music is fine, leading and permanently present, but the Sound Department is absent. Huge carelessness there. The actors' performances are bearable to good. Costumes are weird.

It's a shame to burn such a complex and creative spirit along with its words and wisdom, to make a mediocre war drama. It's a shame to vulgarize Sufism, too. Perhaps the last true filmmaker's approach to Sufism is "Bab'Aziz (2005)" by Nacer Khemir, I highly recommend it to those who love "spins" and tears.

This is a story of herald of Love, renowned globally as an advocate cherished by all. His influence surpasses geographical boundaries, races, religions, and hues, embracing equality, blessing all, and honoring the worth of each soul. His teachings transcend the realm of hatred, fostering love's sanctuary.

Under the revered epithets of Mevlana and Rumi, Celal ad-Din Mohammad Rumi graces the world as a erudite scholar, eloquent poet, and devoted sufi. While watching this television series, I had the honor of paying homage to this esteemed mystic, a saint venerated by many, who, in common parlance, is simply known as Rumi.

The plot is mesmerizing and captivating. There are surprises around every corner and only mystics can explain the logic. Historical masterpiece that provides viewers with the fitna of the time, the mongols. A must watch for history buffs.

Mevlana Celaleddin-i Rumi is a mesmerizing television series that delves into the life and teachings of one of the world's most revered mystics. Spanning multiple seasons, this Turkish production takes viewers on an enchanting journey through the life of Mevlana, offering a profound exploration of his philosophy, poetry, and spiritual legacy.

Mevlana Celaleddin-i Rumi is a captivating television series that serves as a profound tribute to one of history's most influential mystics. With its exceptional performances, meticulous attention to detail, and exploration of Rumi's teachings, it offers a mesmerizing journey into the depths of spirituality. While it may not be suited for those seeking fast-paced action or casual entertainment, for those interested in Rumi's life and philosophy, this series is an enriching and enlightening experience that is not to be missed.

In general, people know Mevlana after his acquaintance with Shams, but this series tells the story of who Mevlana was, how he was on an inner journey and how he became Mevlana very well. I highly recommend watching it for Mevlana enthusiasts as it also conveys the military, political and social aspects of the period he lived in.

Finally, the fact that it directs people to their own inner journey in this century, where being an individual and the sense of self is glorified the most, differentiates the series from all other series and opens the doors of humility and decency to us to the end.

Let's get ready for your inner journey.
