Dashain is the free and fun time for most of the Nepali people. To cash on the festive mood of the people four Nepali movies were released at once on October 19. But, by the end of Dashain it is clear that none of the movie did satisfactory business.
Our reviewer Raunak has found that one of the most talked about movie ‘Dhuwaan yo Nasha‘ had nothing in it. Does that mean our filmmakers take the holidays for granted and release sub-standar
d movies in such times?

Avi has a crush towards his classmate Sameera (Nisha Adhikari) and used a drug to gather the courage to propose her. Avi gets addicted to the drug and at one point he had to choose between drug and Sameera. Both, the drug and Sameera were important to him and he didn’t want to loose any of them. On his friend’s suggestion he helped Sameera get addicted to the drug.
