It is a sad news of the passing of a legendary singer of Nepal, Robin Tamang. Born to a British Army family in Singapore as the youngest of five siblings. Because of his father’s posting in various countries his family had to move from country to countries till he was 17 years old. He lived in Singapore, Brunei and Hong Kong. He did his schooling in Singapore where he was influenced by the rock singers Jimmy Hendrix and Deep Purple. During his school years he started his first band and titled “F Troop”.

Nepali Movie – Mukhauta (Saugat Malla, Rajesh Hamal, Dayahang Rai)

Posted on January 31, 2018January 31, 2018 by Anand Nepal

Nepali Movie – Mukhauta
Starring – Rajesh Hamal, Sunil Thapa, Saugat Malla, Dayahang Rai, Robin Tamang, Nisha Adhikari, Harshika Shrestha, Prashant Tamrakar, Arpan Thapa etc.
Director – Arpan Thapa

About ‘Mukhauta’

Being a multi-starrer, the movie was highly awaited. But, the wait resulted in higher expectation – more than what the film had to offer. So the most awaited, gangster/crime themed movie wasn’t successful in the box office. The movie tells the story of the underground mafia operating in Kathmandu. Because of violence and vulgar dialogues, the movie was given an ‘A’ certificate. The grading is given to films only suitable for the audience aged 16 years or older.

I wrote about the movie previously – ‘Mukhauta’ was released on June 13, 2014. The reason movie didn’t get the viewers as expected was attributed to various factors. The world cup football game was running at the time of the release – so, the film makers had also blamed the game for the failure of the movie. ‘Mukhauta’ producer Rabin Shrestha had recently announced the start of the production of the sequel of the movie titled ‘Mukhauta 2’. I had appreciated the participation of Harshika Shrestha in the premier of the movie in spite of her broken leg. The affair between Nisha Adhikari and cricketer Sharad Veshwakar became more apparent when they were seen together at the premier of the movie. This is the debut movie of the director Arpan Thapa as an actor.
