With the implementation of government regulations and rules amid the pandemic, the cinema halls across the country have remained closed for the last six months, losing investments worth over NPR 1 billion.

According to the Nepali Film Development Board Chairman Dayaram Dahal, around 60 Nepali films were severely hit by the pandemic, pushing 300,000 people into unemployment.

“Around 22 Nepali movies which were about to be released have been held, and the pandemic has seriously frustrated the further investment in the movie industries in Nepal,” exclaimed Dahal.

One such Nepali film ‘Dal Bhat Tarkari’ did the same magic!

Director Sudan KC’s flick kept the audience awestruck with outstanding comedy, while speaking about a serious social issue of the country in the background.

We know ‘migration to foreign nations for jobs’ is one major happening trend in Nepali society. Sudan KC picked up the same concept with ‘Nepalis to US’ as the target.

The movie presents Hari Bansha Acharya and Niruta Singh in lead roles as a well-established Nepali family who wish to settle in US by earning more.

While Haribansha enthralled the audience with his unique style of comedy dialogue delivery, Nirtuain wife’s character did her best to the role.

Wilson Bikram Rai and Basundhara Bhusal also did their best performances as comedians in the movie.

Though in comedy genre, the movie did not refrain from speaking about key social elements such as Nepalis inclination to settle in foreign nations, gold smuggling, patriotism, and more.

Rest is all about the must-watch!

Overall, the movie runs for 125 minutes duration with an entertaining screenplay, decent performances, exciting music, enthralling comedy and enthusing concept.

No doubt! Dal Bhat Tarkari is one film that Nepalis will remember forever!

The National Film Development Board has taken this decision to streamline record maintenance of ticket sales and get better reports on gross collections.

Currently, the Box Office system is in place across Kathmandu Valley.

Out of the total 394 movie theatres across the country, only 215 are operative, and 13 new theatres began operations in the current fiscal year.

Meanwhile, the Box Office Film Club of Nepal nominated 12 Nepali films for the ‘Blockbuster Award 2075’.

The Film Club’s decision to choose 12 films comes as a surprise in view of the fact that only a few Nepali films reported success in 2018.

Lily Bily, Chhakka Panja-3, Jaya Bhole, Bobby, Nai Nabhannu La 5, Kayara, Bhaire, Intu Mintu Londonma, Changachet, Ramkahani, Prasad and Captain are the 12 movies selected for the awards, informed RK Subedi, Box Office Nepal.

The beautiful melody with a voice that tugs at the heart of every listener is accompanied with the song’s lyrics and stills from the movie.

Lai Lai spans the story of a young couple who are trying to keep their relationship alive despite the absence of a child.

The song has received 351,750 views so far and fans can’t stop talking about the lyrics, the music and most of all their favorite stars Bipin Karki and Namrata Shrestha.

Talking about his character in the movie Karki says, “I have tried to give the character some real-life resonances so that the audience can relate and empathize with him. In any project, be it in the past or now, my approach remains the same, which many have said goes against the grain of what a ‘hero’ in a Nepali film should be.”

The movie is yet another story from Nepali Director Dinesh Raut’s treasure trove of romantic dramas. Sharing his perspective on the song he said that the song captures the essence of the film to a certain extent.

The movie is Script writer Sushil Paudel’s first attempt at bringing a transition in the Nepali Film Industry which is characterized by poor stories and lack of creative portrayal.

Love Station in the Making
In the meanwhile, veteran Director Ujwal Ghimire is gearing up for his ‘dream project’ Love Station. The Nepali director is currently preparing for the principal photography scheduled in October 2018.

Ghimire’s upcoming ‘love story’ will feature Pradeep Khadka and Jassita Gurung in the leads, along with Siliguri Shraddha Chhetri and veteran actress Niruta Singh who will make a comeback with the film.

Ghimire has chosen Darjeeling for the movie, that’s where the film name gets its inspiration from.

Actors Khadka and Gurung have both expressed their excitement about working with the veteran director. Gurung says, “I’ve wanted to work with such a successful director for long, who wouldn’t?”

Conclusion:
Well, looks like the Nepali Film Industry has a lot in store for its audience. Did you hear Lai Lai yet? Tell us what you think?
