Ata Demirer wrote Eyyvah Eyvah 2, a Turkish comedy directed by Hakan Algül. A sequel to the hit comedy Eyyvah Eyvah (2010), it opened across Turkey on January 7, 2011, at number one at the box office. In its first three days 801,863 people saw it, and by its fourth week it had reached 3,123,000 viewers, placing it among the ten most-watched Turkish films of all time. Necati Akpınar produced it for BKM Film, UIP distributed it, and it runs about 106 minutes. The series continued with Eyyvah Eyvah 3.

The story follows Hüseyin Badem (Ata Demirer), a young clarinet player who, in Geyikli, goes after the girl he loves. His old car collides with a newer one, and Hüseyin, though trying to be humane, argues with the driver, who turns angry and aggressive. That evening he goes to ask for the girl's hand, and his heart sinks: her father is the man he argued with that morning. Ata Demirer and Demet Akbağ lead the cast, with Özge Borak, Salih Kalyon, Tarık Ünlüoğlu and Ayşenil Şamlıoğlu. Beyazıt Öztürk appears as himself.

The music is by Fahir Atakoğlu and Serkan Çağrı, and the cinematography by Gökhan Atılmış.

Through different eyes

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

Ata Demirer's warm small-town humor is the kind grandparents and kids can laugh at together. Most of the comedy comes from mix-ups: the man Hüseyin argues with on the road in the morning turns out, that evening, to be the father of the girl whose hand he has come to ask for. The driver is angry and aggressive, but not in a way that makes family viewing awkward. If you want a comedy everyone can sit down to at the weekend, it's a good pick, and having seen the first film adds to the fun.

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

Eyvah Eyvah 2 faces the familiar dilemma of any sequel to a well-loved film: keep the familiar world, or try something new? Ata Demirer's script takes the safe route. The backbone of the story is a single coincidence, the man argued with on the road in the morning turning out to be the prospective father-in-law that evening. It's a set-up that promises a strong start, but it struggles to carry roughly 106 minutes, and the film at times feels as if it is repeating itself. Hakan Algül's direction is functional and unshowy, leaving the scenes to the actors. The comic timing of Demirer and Demet Akbağ is the film's strongest asset. Over three million admissions by its fourth week show the formula worked; in terms of film language, though, it adds little to the first.

History & Society Lens Asks about the period, the social background and what the work reflects.

The film's comic knot is tied to a tradition that is still very much alive, the formal visit to ask for a bride's hand: that tense evening when the would-be groom waits for her family's approval is a situation audiences recognize at once. The accident that sets the story going carries a small social signal too; Hüseyin's old car collides with a brand-new one, and you can read that gap in the tension between the two men. Setting it in Geyikli brings a small-town air unlike big-city comedies. The film doesn't dig into these themes, it simply uses them as material for laughs; still, it's no surprise that millions of viewers saw themselves in such familiar situations.
