Throughout the 1970s, Taghvai continued to refine his style. He made works that engaged with the landscapes and people of southern Iran, portraying them with empathy and realism. His films from this period often depicted social contradictions—between wealth and poverty, modernity and tradition, ambition and resignation. He refused to romanticize his characters, preferring instead to portray them with quiet dignity and moral complexity. This ethical and aesthetic rigor made his cinema both demanding and deeply rewarding.
