Akbar Abdi tightens every purse string in sight as Saber Rafati, the penny-pinching patriarch of Khasis, Ahmad Kavari's 2014 comedy about a miser whose fortune finally slips through his fingers.

What is Khasis about?

Saber Rafati has spent a lifetime guarding his money, and now, in old age, the unthinkable is happening: bankruptcy is knocking at his door. Cornered by circumstance, the old miser hatches a plan with his son Omid — a substantial sum will go to his younger son Aydin, on the strict understanding that the boy puts it to work for the family. For a man who can barely part with small change, handing over that much cash is agony enough; then the money is stolen, and the real chaos begins. What follows is a scramble of schemes, suspicions and family showdowns, as father and sons chase the missing fortune while Saber's tight-fisted habits collide with a household that has run out of patience with them.

About the cast

The film rests squarely on Akbar Abdi, one of Iranian comedy's most beloved figures, whose gift for exasperated, put-upon characters makes the stingy Saber both infuriating and oddly endearing. Mehri Sadat Alagha and Hooman Hajabdollahi — the latter widely known to Iranian television audiences — fill out the family caught in the fallout of his schemes.

Context & significance

The miser is one of comedy's oldest archetypes, and Khasis plants that classic figure firmly in the soil of contemporary Iranian family life, where questions of inheritance, trust between generations and children waiting on a father's wallet give the jokes their bite. Director Ahmad Kavari keeps the machinery light: at around 90 minutes, the film moves quickly from setup to complication, aiming for the broad, crowd-pleasing register that Iranian popular comedies of the mid-2010s did best. Released in 2014, it offers Abdi one of the roles his fans most enjoy seeing him in — a stubborn man whose own flaws set every disaster in motion.
