    The best Iranian movie
    Jamshid Arya is the superstar of Iranian cinema and the father of Iranian cinema. I loved his movie Taraj and it was one of the best movies I have seen in my life Balash and Taraj movies are memorable for me. The movie Eagles with the presence of Saeed Rad was one of the most beautiful movies.
