Khalli Balak Min ZouZou (Arabic: خلي بالك من زوزو) is a 1972 Egyptian movie directed by Hassan El-Imam starring Soad Hosny, Hussein Fahmy and Taheyya Kariokka.
With its musical numbers and dance sequences, it has become one of Hosny's best loved films and a household favourite in Egypt.
The movie focuses on the tensions within Egyptian society between tradition and modernism, as well as social pressure towards liberalism.
Being a professional belly dancer in Egypt during this period was understood to be a low profession, one loosely associated with prostitution, or a lack of morality.
Her professor was shocked and ashamed at first, but in the end, all is resolved as Zouzou decides to return to her studies and embrace a bright future free of the need to work as a Muhammad Ali St. dancer.
