The Oh Belinda or Aaahh Belinda trailer revives the original 1986 Turkish fantastic comedy film. The upcoming modern 2023 adaptation is directed by Deniz Yorulmazer, with its screenplay written by Hakan Bonomo Neslihan Atagül, while the production has been helmed by OGM Pictures for Netflix.
Set to have a runtime of 1 hour and 37 minutes, the film stars Neslihan Atagül, Serkan Çayoğlu, Necip Memili, Meral Çetinkaya, Beril Pozam, Efe Tunçer, Gamze Karaduman, Sacide Taşaner, Kamil Güler and Anıl Çelik. Oh Belinda’s teaser was released on March 10, 2023, and now the full-length trailer has fully invested in the forthcoming comical mayhem that’s about to unleash in the movie.
In the 2-minute trailer, Neslihan’s character dons the role of Handan, a scripted and fictional character in the commercial for a shampoo called Belinda. As she washes her hair for the shoot, the actor suddenly gets transported to the real-life bathroom of her character. Once she walks out of the bathroom, she realises that the crew has gone missing and finds herself in a proper house, with her or Handan’s husband eating for her. For Necati, she may be his wife, but Neslihan’s original character, Dilara can’t come to terms with any of it.
Trying her best, she conveys the truth to her doctor, but it doesn’t bring her any good news as no one seems to recognise her. She even attempts to undo the mystical works of the shampoo by washing her hair with Belinda yet again. Although everyone around her seems to play their respective parts and lead a fulfilled life, Dilara or Handan, in this case, is hung up on figuring out the truth veiled underneath the switch-up.
Neslihan Atagül Doğulu is a Turkish actress well-known for contributing to Kara Sevda (Bittersoet), the only Turkish TV series to have won the International Emmy Award. She’s also appeared in the drama series Fatih Harbiye, The Ambassador’s Daughter (Sefirin Kızı) and movies like Araf and Senden Bana Kalan.
