Rekha Thapa slips down to 7th position – Top 10 actresses chosen by 10 directors

The Number 1 actress is no longer the top actress in the Nepali film industry – according to a survey among 10 well known Nepali directors. In fact, Shilpa has gone a rank higher than Rekha Thapa. It seems, she is on her path to be the top actress.

Watch the top 10 actresses:

Personally, I think other actresses deserve the top position rather than actress Keki Adhikari. It could be either Namrata Shrestha or Priyanka Karki. Namrata has won all the film awards this year. She has a very good track record of successful movies. Priyanka Karki is also a good actress and one of the busiest actress in the film industry.

Keki is a good actress but, she hasn’t been careful in her choice of movies. Although she has done a very good job, none of her movies have been that successful.

Judge Directors

This list of top 10 actresses was chosen from the views of the following directors by ‘Today’, a weekly of Annapurna Post:

Priyanka Karki, Rekha Thapa, Deepa Shree etc. on Shiva Ratri and Ganja (Marijuana)

The festival of Shiva Ratri is synonyms with Bhang, dhaturo and Ganja (Marijuana or Cannabis). Although the use of ganja is prohibited in other times, it is usually free during the time of shiva ratri. In the festival, youths and older people go to Pashupati area to smoke ganja.

Shiva Ratri for different age group

  • Children and youths – they ask for alm on road by blocking the road and asking for money. The collected money is usually used to purchase wood for the fire used in the night.
  • Married women fast and worship lord Shiva for the longevity of their husbands.
  • Unmarried women also fast and worship Shiva and ask for the husband like him.
  • Older males – worship shiva and enjoy the festival by drinking juices and laddu containing bhang and smoking ganja.

Fasting for their husband and future husband is a tradition in declining trend. I believe, that is the remains of the male dominated society.  Continue reading

Diarry release delayed, No movies of Rekha Thapa in 2073, 4 movies next year

After the release of her last movie ‘Rampyari’ on the last week of last year (in 2072 BS), no new movies of the actress were released this year. Till now, no new movies of Rekha are scheduled to release this year. This year, Rekha didn’t produce any movies either. In the past she used to produce one movie every year. Next year, she has announced ‘Rudrapriya’.

In addition to her home production movie, Rekha has worked in three movies out of her banner this year. The shooting of ‘Palas’ and ‘Diarry’ has completed. The third movie ‘Hero Returns’ is in its last stage. The movie ‘Diarry’ was initially scheduled to release on Chaitra 11. Now, the scheduled has changed.

Although no dates have been announced, all three movies are expected to release next year. In addition to the outside banner movies, Rekha is also planning to release her next movie ‘Rudra Priya’ on Dashain. So, 4 new movies of Rekha are going to release next year.

Once, the top actress of the Nepal movie industry, Rekha Thapa’s charm in these days has been reduced. In addition to film, Rekha has been trying to get in social work and politics. She had started Rekha Thapa Foundation. Although the initial work of the organization was promising, there are no news of any activities of the organization these days.

In politics, she joined Maoist initially. Now, she is the central committee member of Rastriya Prajatantra Party.

Marriage in Hero Returns

The marriage between Rekha Thapa and the actor of the movie Dil Shrestha was performed at the sets of the movie. Some online magazine had termed it as a real marriage and they revealed the truth at the end of the article. I have prepared a video report about the issue: (I have removed it)

2017 Artists of the Month

Starting the year 2017, I have decided to feature the artist of the month. For the whole month I will be focused on one particular artist while preparing videos, news and movies.

Shilpa Pokharel in Rekha Thapa path – Chhabi’s Mangalam by Shilpa Pokharel

A video report on how Shilpa Pokharel is in Rekha Thapa path:

A new twist has happened in Chhabiraj Ojha’s life in the past few years – after Rekha divorced and new actress,Shilpa Pokharel entered his life. The important events are:

  • Rekha Thapa left Chhabiraj Ojha.
  • Rekha Thapa took Rekha Films with her forcing Chhabi to register Chhabiraj Production. But, Chhabi wasn’t willing to let Rekha go. So, he and Rekha did a joint production movie – ‘Hifajat’ and Rekha was the lead actress.
  • Rekha went solo in ‘Kali’ and Chhabi went solo in ‘Loafer’. They annouced to release both movies on the same date. But, Rekha acted smarter and asked Chhabi to distribute the movie and delay ‘Loafer’.
  • In the mean time Chhabi and Rekha accused each other for betraying.
  • After 4 years of separation, Chhabi asked for the formal divorce.
  • Chhabi was so obsessed with Rekha that, he searched for the actress who looked similar to Rekha. Found Rajani KC to work in ‘Loafer’. The movie failed to win viewers heart.
  • Chhabi found another Rekha look-alike, Shilpa Pokharel. Shilpa’s movie ‘Lazza’ became successful opening the possibility of Shilpa’s entry in Chhabi’s life.
  • Now, actress Shilpa Pokharel is going to be the next Rekha Thapa in Chhabi camp, after being featured as the presenter of Mangalam and the news of her marriage to Chhabi.

In the event, Rekha Thapa claimed that she had never taken the membership of CPN Maoist party. That is an outright lie because:

25 Divorces in Nepali movie industry

It is not only in the Nepali movie industry, divorce among Nepali couple has been in the increasing trend these days. This might be because, compromising is not in the cards of today’s youth. I think, there is nothing wrong to get out of the relationship that is not working out. But, divorce also brings a lot of pain and problems to the both the couple involved. The traditional Nepali society has made it even worse by tagging them ‘bad example’ to the society.

This post was originally written on Jan 29, 2012. In the mean time I had updated it to reflect the changes in the status of Nepali artists. I think, it is the time to rewrite the whole post.

2017 UPDATE

Reema Biswokarma divorced in December 2017

Rekha Thapa and Chhabi Raj Ojha

Right after the divorce, Chhabi has told that he is planning to get married for the fourth time. Will he marry the actress Shilpa Pokharel or is he using the controversy only to promote his movie – that is a huge mystery of the Nepali movie industry.

While shooting and post-production of ‘Himmatwali’ Rekha is having an affair with Sudarshan Gautam. But, right after the release of the movie, Rekha reportedly dumped Sudarshan.

5 milestones of Chhabi Raj Ojha as a Nepali movie producer (Video Update)

5 milestones of Chhabi Raj Ojha as a Nepali movie producer was first published on Feb 9, 2014. I have re-written the post and updated with one more milestone added at the end. So, it has now become “6 milestones of Chhabi Raj Ojha”.

In 2040 BS Chhabi Raj Ojha started the distribution of Hindi movie. Originally from Dharan, Chhabi moved to Kathmandu to start film distribution. The first Nepali movie he distributed was ‘Bhagya Rekha’ – a movie produced by Chiranjivi Basnet and directed by Deepak Rayamajhi. At that time, he had also gone to Madras for the post production of the movie. Although the movie wasn’t successful commercially, it taught Chhabi the film business. The failure of ‘Bhagyarekha’ prompted Chhabi to find out the reason the movie wasn’t successful. After analysis of the cause and the solution, Chhabi proposed a new concept to the director Deepak Rayamajhi and he also promised to finance the movie.

Updated video on Chhabi’s milestones:

Producer Chhabi Raj Ojha’s film production milestones:

Milestone 1 -Yug Dekhi Yug Samma

The movie ‘Yug Dekha Yug Samma’ marks the debut of Chhabi as a producer. The movie was also the debut movie of and action director Rajendra Khadgi. All three new faces in the film industry – Chhabi Raj Ojha, Rajesh Hamal and Rajendra Khadgi made it big in the Nepali movie industry.
