It is surprising how Ata managed to get a generation back to their childhoods.
Those times were the ones everyone value the real musicians and stage shows.
Ata Demirer generally prefers to set he scene in small towns to maintain the sincerity of people and the simplicity of the life. Once again, we are on the shore of Agean see which I will never fed up.
I personally, like the cast of the movie. Ozge Ozacar an Cem Gelinoglu fit in their roles however, I need to mention Toygan Avanoglu separately. He is very successful and added a lot of flavor to the film with Dr. Fatih role.
Watch it. It is entertaining with a lot of dramatic scenes as well.
Forgot to mention. Musics were awesome.
Well done Ata.

First of all I am a huge fan of Ata Demirer. I watched his movies and stand up show many times. He is a perfect talent. In my first review I said I didn't like the movie because it is not a comedy and I didn't laugh at all but I misjudged the movie, this is a musical drama and when I think like that, I can say Ata Demirer executes perfect job. It is so naive with lots of details and also very well observed of period... Also it has a deep story about being looser or I don't know unlucky maybe.. I really loved it. Also I loved the woman singer voice so much,very arabesque.. I hope we can see second movie with happy final. Good characterizations, nice scenes and lovely 80s atmosphere... Really Good job. Watchable and recommended.
Bursa Bulbulu (The Nightingale of Bursa) is a melodrama from Ata Demirer and his crew. The movie features the story of a wedding singer, who sings "taverna muzigi" (tavern music) in a pianist (or keyboard player) singer-songwriter style in 1980's. This style, which the singers often sang songs of personal troubles, impossible-loves, love-sickness, sadness, and tragedies, was famous in that era. Ata Demirer, known for his sincere comedies, drifts from this style and moves to a different style, which has lots of famous examples, in which real singers had sung and played in movies of that era. However this movie falls beyond expectations, with lots of poor acting (except Özge Özacar) and and fragmented narratives. The movie can be said to be mediocre, except amazing songs made and sang by Ata Demirer himself.
Before starting the film, I had some prejudice, wondering if this film would be like the others, but it was beyond my expectations, especially in terms of resembling the "Yesilcam" cinema in a positive way.
Although it had many shortcomings in terms of musical aspects, it was emotionally powerful and made one feel the warmth of the past. Although the first 10 minutes were cringe-worthy, the film reached its maximum potential by highlighting the emotional part in the last 30 minutes, and Ata Demirer delivered a decent performance.
We need such films in Turkish cinema because of where it has come to. This film was exactly at that point of need. Although it had a simple scenario, it didn't bore me at least. It wasn't very successful in terms of jokes, but it warmed your heart at the end.
I hope we can blend this emotional power with a much more advanced scenario in another film. It is sufficient for an evening movie.

Everyone maybe don't understand it's like i think 80's and 90's people can understand. I hope the next move will come. I love his voice in his film and i liked the all musics it's crazy and i love the atmosphere of Bursa Bülbülü. I love the all of Ata Demirer movies and i love him hopefully the next movie will come. I watched with my family they both like it my family has a good film and music taste l. I rated on 10/10 maybe this is crazy many people don't give high point this film and i don't understand turkish viewers maybe has a bad film taste you know and. I wish i played with him this is gonna be crazy thats all thank you.
