Following numerous controversies, this much-anticipated film finally hit theaters. With a narrative centered on two significant Iranian historical figures and poets, Molana "Rumi" and his mentor Shams, the storyline held immense promise. However, the execution falls short of expectations. The movie suffers from a confused and inconsistent plot structure, frequently jumping back and forth between various points in the story. Moreover, it tends to focus more on peripheral side stories rather than delving deep into the core narrative. As a result, what could have been an epic Iranian historical biography movie is instead reminiscent of a Turkish romance drama. The film fails to fully capture the essence and significance of its central characters and their historical context. Despite its potential, it ultimately disappoints, leaving viewers wishing for a more cohesive and impactful cinematic experience.
