Modiri’s commentary—whether on war, society, or governance—has occasionally attracted both praise and backlash. His concerts, including international performances (such as in Dubai), often sell out quickly. His fictional worlds—Barareh, Shahr-e Qahveh, Ghahve-ye Talkh’s historical kingdom—are considered modern cultural landmarks. Modiri listens to ideas but ultimately follows his own artistic instinct.
He often rewrites scenes hours before filming if he gets a better idea—something cast members say has resulted in some of his funniest improvised moments.
Some of his most beloved series ended before their natural conclusion due to political sensitivities. His fictional worlds mirror real social behaviors, sometimes more clearly than news or political analysis. Though Modiri has announced multiple times that he plans to leave TV, his creativity ensures he never stays away for long. His evolving artistic identity suggests he will continue experimenting while maintaining his signature comedic style.
