Bazi Khooni
Bazi Khooni (فیلم بازی خونی)Bazi Khooni is an Iranian historical drama directed by Hossein Mirzamohammadi and produced by Saeed Parvini. Inspired by events from Iran’s contemporary history, the film combines suspense, action, and human conflict within the tense atmosphere of the early 1980s.
Story
In the autumn of 1981, a mysterious armed group begins operating in the forests surrounding Amol. As reports of violence and civilian casualties spread, Ahmad and his companions enter the forest to confront the threat.

Rather than presenting the conflict only through action scenes, Bazi Khooni explores the personal pressure placed on individuals during a period of political instability. The story examines loyalty, courage, responsibility, and the consequences of making emotional decisions in a dangerous situation.
