Gawaza Mery brought to the big screen a new favourite trio, with Yasmine AbdElAziz, Hassan Elradad, and Karim Mahmoud AbdElAziz. The trio made a perfect combination for a hilarious storyline. Discussing the complications of love triangles with a comedic twist, Gawaza Mery is considered to be a social comedy with a touching plot. While we laughed from the depths of our hearts, we also experienced heartbreak alongside each and every character.
