Ali ile Veli (1970)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

Ali and Veli come to Istanbul from their villages. Unfamiliar with the city, the young men are swindled in their first experiences of debauchery. Thanks to their uncles, who are experienced in nightlife, they decide to play by the rules of the game. Their uncle is Şaban Pekşaban, the famous pastrami king of Kayseri. The two naive friends constantly get involved in trouble. Ali and Veli rescue a singer who has gotten into trouble with the mafia, and thus step into the world of organized crime. They quickly accumulate many enemies. However, dealing with Ali and Veli will not be easy.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
