About The Tiger of Mazandaran
A simple village boy, a wrestler with extraordinary strength, catches the eye of a famous coach from Tehran who happens to be at a village festival where local wrestlers are competing. The coach invites the boy to the capital to take up wrestling professionally, and soon the talented wrestler becomes a celebrity and the darling of all Iran, which arouses the envy of his teammates. A chance encounter with the mother of his future opponent for the national championship title turns his whole life upside down. A separate storyline follows the love affair between Habib, the main character, and Sitar, the daughter of a local wealthy man.
Directed by Samuel Khachikian, The Tiger of Mazandaran leans on a strong ensemble — Emamali Habibi, Niloofar, Dariush Talayi — 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 screen titles of 1968.
