Abadan is a 2003 drama film by Iranian filmmaker Mani Haghighi. It was his first feature film after making a few short films. Because the film was not pre-approved by Iran's Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance and because of including profanity and spoken references to extramarital relations, it bypassed Tehran's 2003 Fajr International Film Festival and had its world premier in Chicago at the 2003 Festival of Films from Iran. It was also shown at the 2004 Tribeca Film Festival.

One reviewer comments:
It’s disquieting to hear (or read in subtitles) dialogue in an Iranian film that’s obscene and inventive. Abadan has been banned in its native land. Perhaps they found not just the language objectionable but also the rollicking, contrapuntal story, which lampoons touchy subjects ranging from marital fidelity to martyrdom in the Iran/Iraq War. An estranged wife persuades her husband to find her wayward, dotty father. While he hunts for the old man with his raffish best friend, the wife makes pals with her hubby’s young mistress. Meanwhile, the old man gleefully searches for a dead companion while dreaming of running off to the Shangri-la of the title - in fact, a city destroyed in the Iran/Iraq War.
