One Millionaire and Two Have-Nots is an Iranian comedy film directed and co-starring Mohammad Motevaselani, written by Ahmad Najibzadeh, and produced in 1972 (1351 in the Iranian calendar). The film presents a classic clash of wealth and poverty through sharp comedic situations rooted in everyday Iranian social life.

What is One Millionaire And Two Have Nots about?

The story follows three characters whose lives become entangled through circumstance: a wealthy man of considerable means and two ordinary citizens who have very little to their names. When these worlds collide, comic misunderstandings and social contrasts drive the narrative forward. The screenplay by Ahmad Najibzadeh uses the gap between social classes to generate humor, placing the characters in situations where money — and the lack of it — determines how people treat each other. The film keeps its tone light while shining a mirror on real inequalities familiar to Iranian audiences of that era.

Cast & crew

Mohammad Motevaselani serves as both director and a lead performer, bringing a dual creative investment to the project. Mansour Sepehrnia, a familiar face in classic Iranian cinema, leads the ensemble alongside Motevaselani and Garshasb Raoufi. The tight three-character core allows each performer to anchor a distinct social position, giving the comedy clear human stakes throughout the film.

Context & significance

Iranian comedies of the early 1970s — made before the 1979 revolution — captured a society in rapid modernization, where wealth gaps were visible and charged with social meaning. Films like this one used laughter as a tool for social observation, drawing audiences who recognized their own circumstances on screen. For diaspora viewers, these productions carry a particular weight: they preserve the look, sound, dialect, and rhythm of pre-revolutionary Iranian life. Watching them is both entertainment and a form of cultural memory — a window into a world that shaped a generation and the communities that grew from it abroad.
