Niyazi Gul Dortnala is a Turkish comedy-adventure movie that tells the story of a unique and quirky journey that starts from Istanbul and ends in the beautiful area of Cappadocia in Turkey. Directed by Hakan Algül and starring Ata Demirer, Demet Akbag, and Sebnem Bozoklu, the movie manages to successfully balance humor, romance, and adventure.

The central character of the movie is Niyazi Gul, played by Ata Demirer, a man who lives in Istanbul and works as a barber. He is a middle-aged man who has always wanted to see Cappadocia but has never had the chance to do so. Niyazi is just like any other ordinary person living a dull and monotonous life, but his destiny takes an unexpected turn when he meets a magical horse named Dortnala.

Dortnala is not just any regular horse; he is an extraordinary creature who can speak and communicate with humans. The horse knows about Niyazi's dream to see Cappadocia, and he asks Niyazi to take him there. At first, Niyazi is hesitant to take the horse with him because it sounds impractical and difficult, but the horse manages to convince him. The movie then follows the journey of Niyazi and Dortnala as they make their way to Cappadocia.

The journey is not easy, and they face several obstacles along the way. One of the challenges they encounter is a group of hunters who are after Dortnala because they want to capture him and sell him to make a profit. Niyazi and Dortnala manage to avoid them by going through a dense forest.

Another notable scene in the movie is when they come across a group of eccentric characters who are part of a travelling circus. This group of people is made up of unique and quirky individuals, including a tightrope walker, a clown, a fortune teller, and more. Niyazi and Dortnala get to know these people and spend some time with them, which is a lot of fun.

The journey to Cappadocia is also filled with several comedic scenes that are sure to make the audience laugh out loud. Ata Demirer, who plays Niyazi, is known for his comedic acting, and he delivers some memorable moments in the film. His witty one-liners, fast-paced dialogues, and exaggerated expressions add to the film's overall light-heartedness.

Apart from the humor, the movie also touches on the theme of love and relationships. Demet Akbag plays the role of Ayten, a woman who runs a guesthouse in Cappadocia. Niyazi and Ayten's paths cross when Niyazi and Dortnala arrive at the guesthouse, and they instantly develop a connection. The chemistry between Demirer and Akbag is excellent, and their romantic subplot is a highlight of the movie.

The climax of the film takes place in Cappadocia, where Niyazi and Dortnala finally reach their destination. The finale features some gorgeous scenic shots of Cappadocia and a heartfelt moment between Niyazi and Dortnala.

Overall, Niyazi Gul Dortnala is an entertaining movie that manages to capture the essence of adventure, comedy, and love. Ata Demirer's performance as Niyazi is commendable, and the chemistry between him and Demet Akbag is brilliant. The film also features some stunning cinematography, capturing the beauty of Turkey's Cappadocia region. It's a must-watch for anyone who loves light-hearted comedies and has a sense of adventure.
