Iran crime thriller ‘Negar’ hits domestic box offices

Iran crime thriller ‘Negar’ directed by Rambod Javan has started public screening at cinemas in the country.

Javan and his wife Negar Javaherian who stars in the film joined a public screening session for the flick held Wednesday at Kourosh Cineplex in Tehran concurrently with its opening in Iranian theaters.

‘Negar’ tells the story of a girl whose economically-struggling father dies due to excessive pressure in life. Fishy circumstances surrounding the case lead a historian to review the last days of the man's life in order to understand the origin of his story.

The picture’s other cast includes Mohammad Reza Foroutan, Mani Haqiqi, Ashkan Khatibi, Peyman Moadi, Alireza Aqakhani, Afsaneh Baygan, Atila Pesyani, Alireza Shoja Nouri and Rambod Javan.

The film’s script is written by Ehsan Goudarzi and it is produced by Javad Farhani.

‘Negar’ premiered at the 35th Fajr Film Festival earlier this year, going on to win an award for Best Soundtrack at the event.

Rambod Javan began stage acting in 1991, although he is known more for being a comedic actor.
