El-Limby Arabic: اللمبي is an Egyptian comedy movie that hit the theaters in 2002, starring the stars of Arabic cinema Mohamed Saad that played the role of a husband called El-Limby, Hasan Hosni, Hala Shiha, and Abla Kamel. The movie El-Limby is considered to be a major hit in Arabic cinema as it influenced the demand for Arabic movies and made the people want more movies like it. The movie got such high reviews to the extent that astonished the producers themselves as Mohamed Saad overtook the famous actor Adel Imam.
Saad’s income sprung through the roof as the movie made him around £E 6 million equivalent to 1 million USD at the time which was an extremely high number for Arabic cinema. However, the movie received a number of bad reviews from critics for lacking a main plot and its poor quality which made the audience assume that a sequel won’t be released, but soon after El-Limby a sequel was produced by the name Elly Baly Balak as the producers made sure not to make the same mistakes that existed in the first movie, as to have a main plot and idea.
