When Menahi, a simple Bedouin guy from the village gets rich quick, he decides to move to the big city but fitting in proves to be difficult.

Comedy starring Fayez Al Malki and Mouna Wasef

Rotana has officially launched its bigscreen film, Menahi, after “Kefel Haal” that was launched in 2006 outside the kingdom to make “Menahi” the first film seen in the Saudi movie theaters since the 1970s.

Starring Fayez Al-Malki, the famous Saudi comedian, the film includes the well-known Mona Wasef and Abdullah Al-Emam, and the rising star, Dana Faraj Al-Ish. It was directed by Ayman Makram and written by Mazin Taha, the comedy scriptwriter. The film music was composed by Nasser Al-Saleh, the Saudi famous composer. “I couldn’t stop laughing when I was watching the film to do my work. I believe it is a remarkable shift in the Saudi newly born film industry.” stated Al Saleh. “An unprecedented media campaign was made for the film in addition to a number of surprises announced in due course when the film was launched in Riyadh, Bahrain, Dubai, and Cairo.” said Ibrahim Badi, Rotana Group’s public relations manager.

The film is about a Saudi 30-year-old simple villager, Menahi, who is single and living with his elderly mother. He is so good-hearted, spontaneous, and naturally smart that he sticks to village manners. When he moves to a large city, he cannot easily adapt the urban manners and gets involved in a lot of interesting twists and comic situations. Movie theaters around the Gulf countries were crowded with movie goers eager to see the first bigscreen experience for Fayez Al-Malki who - in a series of press conferences declared that Rotana has a lot to offer beyond the film itself.
