Aga

Bakhytzhan Abdulayev — the former sword of the three Zhuzes — after high-profile cases in the past, having suffered the loss of loved ones, leaves the criminal path. Secluded in the mountains, he lives his life as a hermit. However, the news of the brutal murder of his nephew disturbs his peace and idyll. Baha learns that the culprit is Saken, the son of the local oligarch Sansyzbai, a dangerous and influential man who is not subject to the laws. Baha decides to go on the warpath against the most powerful and influential clans of the three Zhuzes. He is ready to do anything to restore justice.

Directed by Farkhat Serkebayev, Aga leans on a strong ensemble — Murat Bisenbin, Azamat Ibraev, Bolat Abdilmanov — 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 action titles of 2021.
