OSN has announced a stellar Arabic entertainment line-up for Eid Al Fitr, which includes the launch of OSN ‘Howa w Heya’ Pop-Up, a channel combining all iconic on screen duos of Egyptian cinema over the past fifty years including a marathon of Egyptian megastar Adel Imam’s best movies and much more. The network is set to airing 30+ classic films featuring most famous comedies, dramas, action and suspense films from May 13 until June 5. Captivating audiences with charming duos who have graced red carpets and sizzled on (and often off) big and small screens alike, OSN Pop-Up ‘Howa w Heya’ will bring Egyptian cinema favourites from the Golden Age boasting drama, romantic comedy and more. Viewers will bring out the rose-tinted glasses for a date with the most-loved sirens and Casanovas including Fouad Al-Muhandis and Shweikar, Tamer Hosni and Mai Ezz El-Din, Shadia and Abdel Halim Hafiz, and more. The selection includes picks such as 1967 family comedy Maa'boudat Al-Gamahir, where Shadia and Abdel Halim Hafiz come together in the story of a diva who falls in love with a rising actor and faces the wrath of a jealous producer when she decides to marry. Plus, 2004 thriller/drama Tito, where Egyptian star Ahmad Al Sakka plays a criminal whom, after spending many years in a correctional facility for murdering a police officer, is released; will love, and physician Nour (played by Hanan Turk) be enough to save him? OSN Pop-Up ‘Howa w Heya’ will also air the Omar & Salma trilogy, with the first production released in 2007. The movie follows a funny married couple played by Tamer Hosni and Mai Ezz El-Din. Starting with the beautiful, albeit comical story of how they met in the first film, they find themselves in a rut after a few years of marriage in the second; after having twins, Salma let's herself go, and Omar starts reminiscing about the days when he was single. In the third movie, Omar and Salma learn that their daughters were kidnapped by a mafia cell based in South Africa, prompting the pair to undergo a series of adventures in that part of the world.
