Natuk Baytan directed Yedi Bela Hüsnü, a 1982 Turkish comedy, from a screenplay by Ahmet Üstel; Yahya Kılıç produced it and Cumhur Film shot it. The lead role belongs to Kemal Sunal, one of the most beloved comic actors of his generation.

The hero, Hüsnü, is a naive young man whom his friend Cemal persuades to believe he is a handsome fellow. While urging him on to win Hüsniye, the prettiest girl in the neighborhood, Cemal also keeps relieving him of his money. To impress the girl he loves, Hüsnü starts posing as a tough guy, yet the killings pinned on him and the hired killers sent after him make him known, quite unwillingly, as 'Yedi Bela Hüsnü' — Hüsnü of the Seven Troubles. When the wealthy Malik, who covets the neighborhood's land, also marks him for removal, Hüsnü finds himself fighting on two fronts: to win his beloved and simply to stay alive.

The supporting ensemble includes Şevket Altuğ, Oya Aydoğan, Ali Şen, Atilla Ergün and Belkıs Dilligil. Running about 82 minutes, the picture is a typical example of the era's popular neighborhood comedies. Director Baytan also turns up briefly on screen as a bearded man at a minibus stop.

Through different eyes

Yeşilçam Nostalgic A viewer raised on the classics, looking for warm storytelling and strong acting.

Kemal Sunal's naive but good-hearted heroes are among the most endearing legacies Yeşilçam left us, and Yedi Bela Hüsnü is an enjoyable link in that tradition. Hüsnü, egged on by a friend into believing he is handsome and trying to play the tough guy to win the girl he loves, comes alive through Sunal's matchless innocence. Veterans such as Şevket Altuğ and Ali Şen add their own colour to the cast. Of course, the story hardly strays from the familiar moulds of the period's neighbourhood comedies, and it isn't among Sunal's very best. But this light 82-minute entertainment will do good to anyone who misses the smiles of those years.

Family Viewer Asks whether the whole household can watch it; cares about humour and heart.

In many homes, Kemal Sunal films are the ones three generations can laugh at together, and Yedi Bela Hüsnü is a short, light neighbourhood comedy. That said, the story does involve murders, hitmen and a hero trying to act tough. Even though it's all played for laughs, it's worth explaining to young children that being a tough guy is nothing to admire. For grandparents, it's sweet nostalgia.

Action & Thriller Fan Puts pace, tension and set pieces first; little patience for slow drama.

A hero with hitmen on his tail, one bit of trouble barely over before the next arrives: on paper, it's a pure chase story. Yedi Bela Hüsnü uses all that for laughs rather than tension and is done in 82 minutes, and that short running time helps the pace. But most of the jokes rely on the conventions of the period and feel a bit dated today. If you're not a Kemal Sunal fan, it'll struggle to grab you.
