Nepali movie – Darpan Chhaya 2 Starring – Pushpall Khadka, Sahara Basnet, Shraddha Prasai etc. Director – Tulsi Ghimirey
About ‘Darpan Chhaya 2’
The successful director of the the past, Tusli Ghimire had told that the movie would make Rs. 120 million in box office collection. But, that didn’t prove to be true. Viewers comment in summary – The story is great, the movie is made great. Some actors are not that good in acting but, in over all the movie is very good. Despite of positive reviews from viewers, the movie however failed to impress the other viewers. The film was released last year (in 2017).

Poster of the movie
The multi-starred movie was a hit movie of its time.
Action star Nikhil Upreti, beautiful and a well known actress Bipana Thapa, top actress of Nepali film industry, Rekha Thapa, pilot actor Bijaya Lama, Ramit Dhungana and Mithila Sharma are the main attraction of the moive. The action and masala love story film will not disappoint you.
This is one of the few movies Nikil is featured with Rekha Thapa before they started having problem with each other. These days they are trying to get together. After, Rekha’s stardom dwindle, she is trying to mend her relationship. Rekha’s attempt to do that with Aryan Sigdel failed in ‘Rudra Priya’.
Yes, comedy actor Deepak Raj Giri is now related to the mayor of Bidur Municipality by a marriage. I hope the marriage ceremony won’t be a secret event this time as it was in the case of his son.

As expected, Anmol KC’s movie ‘Kri’ was houseful everywhere. But, the response were not consistent. While some of the viewers have appreciated Anmol KC’s effort in the movie, others have criticized the movie as being very bad. It seems, a lot of viewers had much higher expectation from the movie.
The film makers had anticipated such response. So, they had released a half-backed song few days before the release of the movie. The film critics have rated the movie very low. For example, Gokarna Gautam of Nepal magazine has rated it 1.5/5. The review is titled “A stale story of revenge”
Summary of what Gokarna said:
Anmol KC is bad at acting (That’s not a new ‘compliment’)
In the past, Anmol was limited into lover-boy character, now he is seen in an action avatar.
Script and directorial aspect of the movie is totally dependent on Anmol KC, like is previous movies. (And, they all were successful.)
The technical aspect of the movie is exceptional.
After reading the reviews and negative reviews in Twitter, I am confident, ‘Kri’ will be a hit movie.
The couple of popular teleserial, ‘Tito Satya’, Deepak and Deepa has performed a love marriage in a new short movie prepared for a government organization in association with and INGO, Save the Children.

The movie is prepared to create awareness among the public about the importance of the social security
The movie features Deepak, Deepa, Deshbhakta Khanal, Laxman Bikram Basnet, Laxmi Giri, Niru Khadka, Deepak Acharya, Kamala Regmi, Geeta Thapa and Apsara Adhikari in main roles.
Shweta Khadka organized a musical night titled ‘Kanchhi Musical Night’ for the fund raising of the Majhi Basti, being constructed in Sindhupalchowk. The residential area is being developed by Shweta Shree Foundation, a foundation registered in memory of actor Shree Krishna Shresta. Shree had died a month after marrying Shweta.

Karishma Manandhar celebrated her birthday three days ago, on February 4. According to my calculation, she has turned 48 years old – almost half-a-century. But, when you look at the following photo, taken today at Kanchhi Musical Night event, you will be surprised by her beauty and fashion sense.
I think, it was a huge blunder – a move probably bring down the high expectation of the viewers from the movie.
The movie ‘Kri’ is releasing this week.
Last week, Anmol KC and Aditi Budhathoki flew to Scotland for the shooting of a song.
It seems, the travel was more for Bhuwan KC and his girlfriend Jiya KC than the movie. According to a photo Anmol KC shared, they had met Bhuwan’s first wife, Bijaya Malla KC and his daughter Kajal KC in Europe. (watch the following video report)
The trailer of the movie was huge success although, there were accusation of stealing contents from Hindi movies.
The first song of the movie ‘Yeti Yeti Pani’ was also a huge success.
The second song will probably be successful because of the hype created by Anmol KC, trailer and previous song. But, when quality is considered – the voice doesn’t fit Anmol.
The second song was released 3 days before the film’s release, in a program held in Kathmandu. The song features Rodit Bhandari’s voice, Rodit’s lyrics and his music in association with Bishesh Pandey.
The song was shot in 3 days, video edited and released in another three days.
Few questions:
Was the release of the song necessary? Was it released to cool down the popularity and high expectation of viewers?
Was it done for an advertisement of a product Anmol is promoting? There is an advertisement board in the song – for a product featuring Anmol with Samragyee in the background of a scene featuring Anmol andAditi. Anmol was reportedly paid Rs. 10 lakhs to be featured in that ad.
The video is good but the voice of the singer doesn’t seem to fit Anmol. May be it was because the editing of the video was done in a hurry?
The song of upcoming movie of Anmol KC and Aditi Budhathoki, ‘Kri’ is going to release on Monday. The song was shot in Scotland, a couple of weeks before the release date of the film. Aditi, Anmol and Bhuwan KC had gone to Europe for the shooting two weeks before the release dat of February 9, 2018.
The song previously released, ‘Yeti Yeti Pani’ had became an instant success. Anmol fans are eagerly waiting for the second song of the movie. Based on the hype and promotional strategy, the movie will receive a huge initial crowd in theatre. The quality of the film will determine if the film will be successful in a long term.
The song shot in Scotland was shot in three days. The title of the song ‘Maile Jani Najani’ features Anmol and Aditi. The song has the voice of Rodit Bhandari and is made on the lyrics of the singer. The music is composed by Rodit and Bishesh Pandey.
Before the release of the song, few photos of Aditi and Anmol during the shooting of the song was released by the film team.
Nepali Movie – Jatra Starring – Bipin Karki, Rabindra Singh Baniya, Rabindra Jha, Barsha Raut, Prechya Bajracharya etc. Director – Pradeep Bhattarai
About ‘Jatra’
A presentation of Shatkon Arts Production, the comedy movie ‘Jatra’ is the debut movie of Pradeep Bhattarai. The superhit movie was liked by the viewers and critics alike. The the director had previously worked with comedy duo MaHa. Currently the director is directing Maha’s new movie, ‘Shatru Gate’. The movie was released after another successful comedy movie ‘Chhakka Panja’. The success of these comedy movies have created a wave of comedy movies in the Nepali film industry.
Actress Samragyee RL Shah and actor Aryan Sigdel are currently in Philippines shooting for their upcoming movie ‘Kayara’. Samragyee reportedly was paid a whooping Rs. 10 lakh – a new high to be paid to an actress in the Nepali film industry.
While in Philippines Samragyee has got a new tattoo. First watch a video report:
The details of the movie ‘Kayara’ is not available. It seems Aryan is featured as a singer or musician. In one of the photos, Aryan has a tattoo of a guitar on his neck. They seem to be shooting in sea shore and island. Continue reading
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.
The application for the biggest beauty contest in Nepal, Miss Nepal, is going to be held among the contestants to be selected by various auditions in different cities in the country. The Audition will start from Magh 21 and will end on 27 (February 4 to February 10) in eight different cities. The auditions are going to be held in Dhangadi, Nepalgujng, Butwal, Pokhara, Birgunj, Biratnagar, Dharan and Birtamod. The last audition will be held on Falgun 5 (February 17, 2018) in Kathamndu. Birgunj and Birtamod are two additional cities the auditions that will also host auditions for Miss Nepal 2018, this year.
20 to 25 candidates will be selected at the auditions and they will go through 7 weeks of training before the finale to be held on April 11, 2018 on Hotel Annapurna.
What are the requirements of the contestants?
Like last year, the requirements of the contest are similar. Unlike last year, this year girls of age 25 can also apply. Until last year, the maximum age for the applicant was 24-years.
It sounds insane. The cast and crew members of ‘Kri’ have left for Europe for the shooting of a song at the last minute.
It is only 2 weeks before ‘Kri’ releases on February 9, 2018.
The last two week is the prime time for the promotion of the movie.
The shooting of ‘Kri’ took a long time – there were multiple delays and issues. The release date was also postponed once.
Anmol had given his full time to the movie for more than a year.
If the song is added at the last minute, then why should all go to Europe? They could have prepared a set and done the shooting in a fraction of cost and resources.
Hot actress, Sushma Adhikari, is taking over the sensuality of the previous Sushma – Sushma Karki. Sushma Adhikari’s debut movie wasn’t successful and she has been busy in various modelling assignments.
Sushma debuted in Nepali movie ‘Pipal’. After the failure of her first movie, Sushma’s second movie ‘Anautho Premkatha’ also failed to impress the viewers. After that, she has stopped acting in movies.
After not being able to establish herself as a credible actress in Nepali films, she also worked in a couple of Bhojpuri movies. The Bhojpuri films also didn’t help her much. Sushma opened up in two Bhojpuri movies. Bhojpuri movies featuring Sushma are ‘Deewana 2’ and ‘Jaya Madhesh’.
Although she couldn’t leave an impression in movies, Sushma Adhikari has been successful as a model in music videos. She has been featured in hundreds of music videos. She is equally popular in lok geet music videos and pop song music videos. These days, Sushma is featured in a lot of music videos and she is also quite active in social media.
