Although it is still screening in theaters, Yango Play is treating its viewers to a delightful Eid al-Adha gift by making "Siko Siko", the buzziest Egyptian comedy-action film of the summer, available on the platform. 

"Siko Siko" boasts a cast that includes Taha Desouky, Essam Omar, Tara Emad, Bassem Samra, Ali Sobhy, Khaled El Sawy, Diana Hisham, Ahmed Abdel Hamid, and more.

Released on April 24, the pic has dominated the box office and garnered EGP 181 million and SAR 3.5 million in just eight weeks.

Omar El Mohandes helmed the film from a script by Mohamed El Dabbah, which took two years of writing and production to come to light and was initially set to be a TV series before it turned into a film.

“Siko Siko” is a social comedy that revolves around "Two cousins, both from a middle-class background, finally see their dream come true when their inheritance is rightfully returned to them following their uncle’s death. Soon after, and to their shock, they discover that the inheritance is in the form of illegal goods. In order to liquidate these goods, they create an elaborate mobile game in order to sell the goods through it. They call this game… “Siko Siko”. The cousins enjoy a brief moment of spectacular success before a mob boss appears in their lives, and claims to be the real owner of the goods!".

The feature marks Desouky and Omar's first major role in a film. It is co-produced by United Film Production, Film Square, and producer Ahmed Badawy.
