Synopsis
Gawdar (جودر: ألف ليلة وليلة, 2024) is an Egyptian fantasy epic you can watch online on iFILM. To tame the bloodthirsty King Shahriyar, Scheherazade spins a fresh tale — the story of Gawdar, an Egyptian whose fate was sealed before he ever drew breath.
A merchant leaves three sons behind: Salem, Salim, and Gawdar. The two elder brothers settle into ordinary lives, but the youngest is pulled toward something far stranger. Gawdar clashes with the cunning Shimoun in a race for the four treasures of the sage Shamardal — relics worth betrayal, sorcery, and murder. Jealous siblings, old enchantments, and a string of trials turn his inheritance into a test of will rather than gold. Yassir Galal anchors the lead through palace schemes and desert ordeals.
Director Islam Khairy delivers a lavish Arabian Nights saga aimed at viewers raised on Aladdin who now want the grown-up, darker telling — heavy on treachery and magic, with a sprawling cast and an old-school epic pace. Stream Gawdar (2024) online on iFILM.
