‘Seventy Thirty’ Ranks 4th Most Watched Iranian Film
TEHRAN -- The theatrical run of ‘Seventy Thirty’, starring Iranian actor Bahram Afshari, has officially concluded, earning the film a historic place as the fourth most-watched movie in Iran since the Islamic Revolution, with nearly 6 million viewers.
Despite a shorter screening period compared to other blockbusters on the list of most-viewed movies after the Islamic Revolution, ‘Seventy Thirty’ also clinched the title of Iran’s highest-grossing film.
“Barat and Parviz try to keep Yaqoub, who won a lottery prize, alive until he receives it, planning to take a share. However, a doctor says Yaqoub will soon die, complicating their scheme to benefit from his winnings,” a short synopsis for the film ‘Seventy Thirty’ reads.
Samuel Khachikian’s ‘Eagles’ topped the list, followed by Karim Amini’s ‘Fossil’ and ‘Hotel’ by Masoud Atyabi.
‘Kani-Manga’ by Seifollah Dad gained the fifth spot.
