Mega-famous Iranian director Asghar Farhadi’s film ‘The Salesman’ has been added to UK daily The Guardian’s 2017 list of top movies.

Farhadi’s Oscar-winning film ‘The Salesman’ was selected as number 17 of 50 top movies on US screens curated by The Guardian.

Recently, Asghar Farhadi’s ‘The Salesman’ won a spot among best 2017 movies chosen by US review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes.
