Tosun Pasa

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!

One of the funniest Turkish movies Tosun Pasa requires that it must be seen in its original language Turkish... Unfortunately, if a non-Turkish speaker tries to enjoy the movie via subtitles, s/he will probably fail so. Besides, the movie will appear to be absurd. However, for Turkish people, it is a golden classic as can be seen from the ratings. Kemal Sunal and Sener Sen who were the most famous comedians of that time resembles Jack Lemon and Walter Matthau or maybe Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin. They have many other movies acting together where Kemal Sunal plays the dumb but the lucky one and Sener Sen plays the person frustrated by the acts of the other and unlucky one. "Hababam Sinifi" is another wonderful movie of this couple...

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.

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.

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)
