‘Katyusha’ hits Iranian home screens

Iranian feature ‘Katyusha’ has entered the domestic market of home entertainment.

Directed by Ali Atshani in 2017, the comedy juxtaposes a rich spoiled young man with a soldier from the poor districts.

Khalil, the soldier, is a pious man known as Khalil Katyusha. He has to spend some days with Arshia, a corny loaded guy. The gap that exists between their social levels and worldviews creates some problems.

“If I want to be successful in my life, I do not have to look at life like you do," a tagline for the flick reads.

Hadi Hejazifar, Ahmad Mehranfar, Mitra Hajjar, Linda Kiani, Mehran Rajabi, Khashayar Rad, Bijan Banafshe-Khah, Arjang Amir-Fazli, Leila Otadi and Qasem Zare are the most notable among the movie actors.
