Bülbül Ailesi

The Bülbül family consists of Hazım Bey and his wife Asiye Hanım, their daughter Nevin, their son-in-law Ramazan, and their son Tosun. Hazım Bey retired after thirty years of civil service. Ramazan is caught between enduring his mother-in-law's sharp remarks, trying to fulfill his father-in-law's various requests while he stays home all day, and dealing with his brother-in-law Tosun. Tosun, who cannot hold down a job, falls in love with every woman he sees, and when he receives a negative response, he attempts suicide. He will once again cause trouble for his family.

Directed by Oksal Pekmezoğlu, Bülbül Ailesi leans on a strong ensemble — Halit Akçatepe, İlhan Daner, Leman Çıdamlı — 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 comedy titles of 1976.
