Posht'o Khanjar is a 1977 Iranian Film Farsi drama directed by and starring Iraj Ghaderi, set against the back alleys and domestic tensions of pre-revolution Tehran. The film follows the unraveling of a family torn apart by temptation, addiction, and pride — a story that spoke directly to working-class Iranian audiences of its era.

What is Posht'o Khanjar about?

Gholam is a father who discovers that his grown son Heshmat has become entangled with a woman of ill repute named Pari. Determined to intervene, Gholam demands she end the relationship — yet the confrontation backfires when his son refuses to listen and Gholam himself begins spending more and more time in Pari's orbit. His wife Effat is left behind as the household disintegrates. A scheming figure named Karim draws Gholam into the grip of addiction, and with no face left to return home, Gholam wanders the streets through the long Tehran nights. What follows is a portrait of how one family's fractures deepen until silence and shame become the only currency left between them.

Cast & crew

Iraj Ghaderi — one of the most commercially potent figures of the Film Farsi era — takes both the director's chair and the lead role of Gholam, a signature combination in his career. Forouzan, the beloved actress whose screen presence defined a generation of Iranian melodramas, portrays Pari. Farhad Hamidi, Pouri Banaiy, Bahman Mofid, and Ali Parsa round out an ensemble steeped in the classic studio talent of the period.

Context & significance

Film Farsi — the popular genre cinema that flourished in Iran from the 1950s through 1978 — was built on stories of family honor, street-level vice, romantic longing, and moral consequence. Posht'o Khanjar sits squarely in that tradition: a film about men whose dignity is bound up in the fates of women and sons, where addiction and wayward desire signal not just personal failure but social collapse. For diaspora viewers who grew up watching these films or who heard their parents speak of them, this title carries strong nostalgic weight. It is part of a pre-revolution archive that is increasingly rare to find in good condition, making its availability on K-Time culturally significant for Iranian communities worldwide.
