Video report:
In recent times a number of movies are made into thriller and horror genre. Movies like ‘Soul Sister‘, ‘Tandav‘, ‘Mukahuta‘, ‘Chhadke‘ and likes are trying to scare the viewers and create an uneasy suspense for the entertainment of the viewers. But, are the Nepali people ready for such type of thriller movies? The question is not easy to answers. But, based on the track record, the movies that appeal the most viewers in Nepal are the masala films with love, romance, suspense, and entertainment. A trailer of a new movie ‘Zhigrana’ was recently released and it seems the film also follows the same trend with a bit of sex and kiss scene added in it. Will it appeal the audience? We will know in less than a month when it is released in theater in March.
The Nepali movie scheduled to release in theater on March 6, 2015, ‘Zhigrana’ seem to contain a bit of racy scenes in addition to violence and blood. The kissing and bed scenes shown in the promotional trailer of the film features actor Nikun Shrestha and Menuka Pradhan is intimate cuddling and sex.
The trailer gives an impression that the film is full of suspense and terror in the journey of seven friends. In addition to the story and suspense, the film makers are also try to cash on the sex scenes.

It is no secret that the Nepali film market is limited and there are not many viewers of Nepali films. Because of the competition created by the high budget Bollywood and Hollywood films, Nepali films don’t have that big viewer base for a lot of Nepali films. In this context, release of multiple Nepali films every week is scary for the genuine film producers.
This week, 4 new films are releasing in theater. Whatever may be the case, such a release doesn’t make any business sense. Dividing the viewers in a lot of films don’t help the film industry.
