Turkish comedian and filmmaker Cem Yılmaz both directs and stars in Do Not Disturb, known to Farsi-speaking viewers on K-Time as "مزاحم نشوید", a 2023 comedy-romance out of Turkey.
What is Do Not Disturb about?
Yılmaz takes the lead role himself, working alongside Ahsen Eroğlu in a story built around the kind of mismatched-expectations comedy that has defined much of his career on Turkish screens. The film leans on rapid dialogue and situational misunderstandings rather than physical slapstick, a style Yılmaz has refined across two decades of hit comedies at home. Supporting turns from Celal Kadri Kınoğlu, Özge Özberk, Bülent Şakrak and Nilperi Şahinkaya round out an ensemble built for comic timing over dramatic weight. At 102 minutes, it sits at a fairly standard length for the genre, giving the cast room to build running jokes without overstaying the premise.

Context & significance
Do Not Disturb belongs to a wave of Turkish-language comedies that have found a growing audience well beyond Turkey's borders in recent years, helped by regional streaming reach and a shared sense of humor with neighboring markets. Yılmaz is one of Turkish cinema's most consistent commercial names, moving between writing, directing and starring roles across his filmography. The film has drawn the kind of reception typical for broad comedy, warmer with a live audience than in critical roundups, where its brand of humor is easier to underrate on the page than to sit through in a room.
Watching Do Not Disturb on Ktime
Do Not Disturb streams on K-Time with a Persian dub track, so Farsi-speaking viewers can watch the Turkish original with Farsi audio; no Persian subtitle track is currently attached to this title. A free K-Time account and login are required to watch, though the film's page is open to browse without one. K-Time's fully Farsi interface is built for Iranian diaspora audiences who want regional comedies like this one without switching to an English-language platform.
