Reza Attaran headlines Akhlagheto Khoob Kon, a 2011 Iranian comedy with a fantasy twist from director Masoud Atyabi. The premise is right there in the title — roughly, "fix your manners" — and the film's brisk 78 minutes are built around exactly that promised correction, with Hamed Komaily and Javad Razavian along for the chaos.
What is Akhlagheto khoob kon about?
At its heart the film sets up a comic morality tale. A bad-tempered man whose short fuse and sharp tongue have soured his relationships must confront how he treats the people around him — and the film's fantasy billing signals that the push arrives through circumstances well beyond everyday farce. That premise is the engine of the comedy: a world in which improving your behaviour stops being advice and becomes a matter of survival. It is fertile ground for poking fun at family expectations, social niceties and the gap between how people want to be seen and how they actually act. Produced by Seyyed Amir Parvin Hosseini, it is a compact comedy that never strays far from the lesson written into its own title about temper and courtesy.
About the cast
Reza Attaran tops the bill, exactly the kind of comic presence a film like this is built around. Hamed Komaily and Javad Razavian complete the central trio, giving the mayhem more than one register to bounce between. Masoud Atyabi directs, keeping the pace tight and the tone unapologetically mainstream.
Context & significance
Iranian popular cinema of the early 2010s leaned heavily on star-driven comedies, and Akhlagheto Khoob Kon sits squarely in that tradition: a high-concept hook, recognisable comedy faces, and a runtime under ninety minutes built for family viewing. Its blend of comedy and light fantasy was a common recipe of the period, using a supernatural or absurd premise to smuggle in gentle social commentary about manners and modern urban life. For diaspora viewers, it is a snapshot of the crowd-pleasing end of Iranian filmmaking in that era.
