Mast-e Eshgh

Iran is the most magnificent historical and cultural country in the world with so many great and talented artists, scientists, poets and mystics and those who left great works from literature to epiphany of some books like Shahnameh and Masnavi Poem by Rumi that in this film they showed some awesome parts of it so these works are from powerful past centuries and millennia. And with all this discrimination and restriction of the government of Iran at the present time we are glad that we can see Iran shine in cinema and other fields. We are so excited to seeing art of Iran again in the the international scenes. Thank to all actors and directors to create the film.

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.

This movie was one of the most awaited and controversial movies of Iranian cinema that I was waiting for, a philosophical and mystical story that at the same time deals with war and its consequences, and also deals with a love story. .... A complete and amazing movie, especially with the beautiful acting of Shahab Hosseini and Ibrahim Celikkol .

The point that exists is that besides being one of the great Iranian mystics, Rumi and Shams are also among the great poets of Iran. I think their poems should have been used more as a dialogue.

This movie had the ability to be made at least as a mini-series, pay attention, I say at least, because the story has the capacity of a long series, and I don't know why it was not made as a series.

In general, the editing work was good, the jumps to the past and present were well done.

The Farsi dubbing and dubbing of the Turkish actors was poorly done.

All in all, it was a great movie of Iranian and Turkish cinema. I definitely suggest you see it.

And finally, for a better understanding of Shams and Rumi's life, I suggest reading the book The Forty Rules of Love written by Elif safak.

Having delved deeply into the relationship between Molana and Shams, I can confidently say their story is one of the most powerful and stirring narratives of spiritual and emotional connection. Although Intoxicated doesn't exclusively center on their journey, it beautifully distills its spirit, offering viewers a glimpse into that profound love.

The film is more than just a retelling-it's an invitation to reflect. With its exploration of themes like love, war, identity, and societal structures, Intoxicated challenges us to reconsider how we live and relate to the world around us. It urges a conscious embrace of the present and highlights love as a radical force-one that can bridge divides, dissolve prejudice, and even bring peace where there was once conflict.

Ultimately, Intoxicated isn't just a film-it's an experience that stays with you long after the credits roll. It has the power to shift your worldview, and I wholeheartedly recommend it.

The film MestiAsk has break record, has attracted more than 50,000 viewers on its first day and grossed more than 3.5 billion tombs, achieved great success by breaking the first day sales record in Iran.

Many Iranians who have seen MestiAsk praise among other things about the film such as the great performances, the great production and the great soundtrack, the wonderful performance of Hande Ercel who brings Kimya to life and conveys and makes you feel everything she feels, and being very saddening the end of her character, and congratulate Hande Ercel and the whole team for their great talent and hard work, and for the great success of the film.
