Troublemakers (Belalılar) (translated)

Belalılar is a 1974 Turkish adventure-comedy directed by Melih Gülgen from a screenplay by Bülent Oran. The film is a loose local adaptation of the 1973 American hit The Sting.

It tells the story of Selim, who is taken in as a boy by Babalık, a master con artist, and raised like his own son. Selim grows into a skilled swindler, but during their latest job the pair unknowingly steal the money of Uskumru, a mafia boss posing as a produce commission agent. When Uskumru's henchmen kill Babalık, Selim teams up with his mentor's old friend, Beleşçi Ahmet, to set up an elaborate con and take revenge on the gangster.

Cüneyt Arkın stars as Selim, with Erol Taş as Uskumru and Ahmet Mekin as Beleşçi Ahmet. Shot in color, the film was released in 1974.
