Egyptian action-comedy ‘Darwish' to release in cinemas on July 17
The film is a co-production between One to One, Film Clinic, Vox Studios and Film Square.
Egyptian feature film Darwish is set to release in cinemas on July 17, 2025. Directed by Waleed El Halfawy and penned by screenwriter Wissam Sabry, the film offers a blend of action and comedy set against the backdrop of 1940s Cairo.
Darwish centres on the life of a cunning con artist who finds himself wrongly accused of murder, triggering a whirlwind of events that catapult him into the public spotlight. As the story unfolds, the character navigates unexpected fame, a rekindled rivalry with a former partner, and the beginnings of a new romantic connection, all while trying to clear his name.
The film stars Amr Youssef in the lead role, supported by a notable cast including Dina El Sherbiny, Tara Emad, Mohamed Shahin and Moustafa Gharieb. Together, they bring to life a fast-paced narrative infused with humour, suspense and period charm.
Produced through a collaboration between One to One, Film Clinic, Vox Studios and Film Square, Darwish will be released simultaneously across cinemas in the Arab world, marking a significant entry in the region's 2025 film calendar.
