Motreb (Template:Lang-fa, meaning The Singer) is a 2019 Iranian comedy film directed, written, and produced by Mostafa Kiaie and starring Parviz Parastui, Elnaz Shakerdoost, Mehran Ahmadi, Ayşegül Coşkun, and Mohsen Kiaie. The film is about a Iranian nightclub singer, Ebrahim, who is forced to say goodbye to his dream of holding a concert in Iran because of the 1979 revolution. Pretending to be a classical singer, he is sent to Turkey to represent Iran in a musical festival, but Iranian official discover that he is a nightclub singer and prevent him from performing. He ultimately pulls off to perform a concert in consort with his bride who is a famous singer in Turkey.
Selling IRR 385,464,540,000, it is the highest-grossing Iranian movie as of 2021.[1] The Film screening was delayed because of the alleged similarities between the protagonist of the film and Ebi, an Iranian dissident singer.[2][3]
