The Turkish romantic comedy Dönerse Senindir reached cinemas in 2016. Erol Özlevi directed it, and the producers Timur Savcı and Cemal Okan made it under the TAFF Pictures banner. It opened on December 23, 2016, runs 109 minutes, and sold about 610,000 tickets for a gross of roughly seven million lira. Its English title is If She Returns, She's Yours.

The story follows Mehmet, a young man hopelessly in love with Selin, his girlfriend of many years. Things change when Selin's dream of a singing career comes true and a production company signs her; the couple split soon afterwards. Mehmet cannot accept it. With help from his friend Defne he sets out to win her back, and the difficult and often ridiculous schemes he tries along the way supply much of the film's humor.

Murat Boz plays Mehmet. İrem Sak and Yasemin Allen appear in the role of Selin, and the cast also includes Uraz Kaygılaroğlu, Serhat Özcan, Burak Sevinç, Hasan Üner and Merve Sarıtaş. The screenplay is credited to Gizem Elçi and Oğulcan Türe, with Ömer Kılınç behind the camera and Emre Tuncel editing.

Through different eyes

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

A romantic comedy with no big violence. Mehmet goes through comic attempts to win back his girlfriend, and most of the jokes come from those mix-ups. Grown-ups and teenagers can watch it easily. For small children the subject, love and break-ups, is not very interesting. Fans of Murat Boz will be happy. Some gags repeat a little too much. A light film for a relaxed evening with the family, especially suited to adults and teens.

Cinephile Looks at script, editing and directing choices; keeps a distance from formula films.

Dönerse Senindir leans on the best-known romantic comedy pattern: the break-up, the effort to win her back, the help of a friend. Because most of its jokes feed on the mix-ups Mehmet creates, the story becomes a string of comic situations, and a sense of pattern builds between scenes. Murat Boz has screen charisma but the character's depth stays limited. Selin's dream of becoming a singer could have offered an interesting conflict, yet it mostly remains the reason for the break-up. Technically tidy, a predictable production that rarely steps outside the formula on the page.

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

I look for the warmth of our old romantic comedies in this film and partly find it. Mehmet's effort to win back the woman he loves is sincere, yet most of the jokes and comic attempts felt familiar and somewhat shallow. Murat Boz's likeability keeps the film standing. The depth of feeling and the lasting power of music found in Yeşilçam love films are hardly felt here. A light, harmless film that makes you smile for a short while; not one that etches itself in memory.
