Filmfarsi
Filmfarsi ( fa, فیلمفارسی, literary ''Persian Film''), is a term used in Pre-revolutionary Iranian cinema criticism that was coined by Iranian film critic Hushang Kavusi. The term is used to describe what was perceived as low-quality films mostly copied from the Bollywood cinema and with poor plots, mostly arranged with dance and singing. ''Filmfarsi'' were suppressed after the Iranian Cultural Revolution by more strict laws on relations between men and women, as well as religious opposition to the content of the films. The suppression of the ''Filmfarsi'' genre encouraged the Iranian New Wave of modern films in Iranian cinema. Many ''of the Filmfarsi'' that survived the Iranian revolution did so thanks to the existence of illegal VHS copies.
