About Aykhal
Friends and strangers, lifelong friends and sworn enemies, our territory and the enemy's territory. These are the thoughts that Aikhal, the leader of a rural gang, lives with. He's torn between life in the gang, with its violence and fights, and school life—with exams, love, and the future. Aikhal's frivolity and short temper will lead to great difficulties not only in his own life, but also in the life of his younger brother, Darkhan.
Directed by Dyuluskhan Androsov, Aykhal leans on a strong ensemble — Erkhan Sleptsov, Tatyana Legantyeva, Ilyana Pavlova — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 2025.
