Plot: This film is a very entertaining comedy.The first time i watched this movie i loved and enjoyed it very much and i still do whenever i see it again.The story of this film is a dramatic one and it deals with a serious social problem shown in a very comical and sarcastic way.It is the story of Mahrous the barber,played by Bechara Wakim who wishes to be rich but at the same time he always says negative things about them. Suddenly he becomes rich.Now that Mahrous is very rich his views changes and starts to look down on the poor and ignores their needs.The acting is very good through out the film especially the roles of Mahruos and his family in particular his wife Fulla played by Ehsane El Gazaerli and her brother Yunis played by Abdel Fatah Al Kasri.If you like this film i recommend Taqiyyat Al Ikhfa also staring Bechara Wakim.
