Good Movie."Sattar: The Return of the Legendary Slap" is a highenergy Saudi actioncomedy directed by Abdullah AlArak, blending underdog ambition with wrestling spectacle. Released at the Red Sea International Film Festival (2022), the film hit Saudi cinemas in December and broke boxoffice records, becoming the Kingdom's topgrossing film-surpassing even Avatar:
Sattar is an exhilarating, feelgood triumph-a crowdpleasing mix of heartfelt underdog storytelling, authentic cultural detail, and wrestling spectacle. Its record-shattering run in Saudi cinemas demonstrates the hunger for locally grounded stories. AlHajjaj shines as the earnest protagonist, and the comedic synergy between him and Alshehri fuels the film's charm.
Yet its reliance on genre staples, shallow female roles, and occasional visual-sloppiness hold it back from greatness. It doesn't fully escape formula, but for what it aims to be an enjoyable, culturally rooted upbeat comedy-it succeeds spectacularly.

You are going to regret if you don't watch the show in cinema .. Acting, directing, performing and filming .. All is more than what you think .. We are so proud of them .. The way how they are acting looks like they are really professional with long experience .. Telvaz11 made the impossible possible ...
The whole time in the movie we are laughing and really enjoying watching .. The story of the movie is so good ..
Bravo Telvaz11 .. Since they started in YouTube and in my mind am thinking those people going to do something that no one can expect .. They are working like one family .. They like to give us only perfect results not just anything .. So proud of that .. Thanx Telvaz11 team.

The movie was genuinely funny and creative. The director really took care of this project, everything from dialogue to references are refreshing in Saudi cinema as it's original and feels Saudi unlike previous movies we've seen in the past. Saudi movie to the core. I laughed so much and that's a first in local movies, only egyptians managed to do that before and that says a lot. The music, my god the music was so good and very representative of both our different local cultures and the mixture of ethnicities that we've lived with here in Saudi from egyptians to sudanis to pakistanis. Telvaz11 are pushing the boundaries of Saudi cinema, a must see!
