1. Pashupati Prasad
The 2015 release movie written by the lead actor, Khagendra Lamichhane, ‘Pashupati Prasad’ is a movie about the problem of poverty. The movie directed by Dipendra K Khanal was liked by critics and the viewers. Khagendra’s previous movie ‘Talakjung VS Tulke’ was also a very successful movie. I would recommend you to watch both of them but, let me count both of them as one.
A love-story movie, release in 2013 is set in a very beautiful location in Mustang. The movie featuring Nischal Basnet, Rishma Gurung, Dayahang Rai and Rajan Khatiwada in leading role is directed by Ram Babu Gurung. After the huge success of ‘Kabaddi’ its sequel ‘Kabaddi Kabaddi’ was also released in 2015. If you like ‘Kabaddi’ you won’t be dissapointed by its sequel ‘Kabaddi Kabaddi’ too.
Romantic and action packed Nepali movie ‘Dharma’ was released in 2011, featuring Manisha Koirala in lead role. ‘Dharma’ is a presentation of Aasma Films by Diperndra K Khanal. The story and dialouge of the movie is written by Yougesh Rayamajhi and the movie is produced by Dr. Dugra Pokharel.
There is another old movie titled ‘Dharma’. Watch ‘Dharma’ here.
video not available Star Cast of ‘Dharma’
The movie ‘Dharma’ was promoted as the comeback movie of Bollywood actress Manisha Koirala. Manisha debuted in Nepali movie ‘Feri Bhetaula’ in 1989. But, the movie wasn’t as successful as expected. After that, Manisha went to Bollywood and established herself as the top actress. ‘Feri Bhetaula’ is not available online. The comeback movie ‘Dharma’ also failed to appeal the public. The movie introduces a new actor Samyog Pokharel.
The director of ‘Dharma’, Dipendra K Khanal directed a superhit movie ‘Pashupati Pradad’ last year. He is also the director of ‘Chapali Height’. Other artists in the movie are superstar Rajesh Hamal and action star Nikhil Upreti. This movie was made before Nikhil married Sanchita and left the film industry for five years. Nikhil has made a successful comeback and is busy in the film industry these days. Actress Anu Shah is also featured in the movie. Another actress Rejina Upreti was also a well known actress at the movie’s time. These days, Rejina has left the film industry after marrying her boyfriend. Rejina is expecting a child in November 2016.
‘Dharma’ Story:
The lead character, Rajesh Hamal is called ‘Dharmaa’ in the movie. Dharmaa is posted as the DFO of Kaliban after the poachers killed the previous DFO at the post. Dharmaa leaves his wife Gauri (Manisha Koirala) hat home with his brother Abhaya (Samyog Pokharel) and sister-in-law, Diya (Anu Shah). The poachers and the police in the Kaliban area had teamed up to smuggle the timber from the forest. Nikhil Upreti is featured as DSP Ajit Jung who investigate the incidents at the Kaliban. Watch the movie above to know what happened to Dharmaa and what did DSP Ajit Jung do to take care of the illegal activities.
Nepali Movie – Kampan Starring – Anchila Basnet, Sitaram Timilsina, Anil Kumar Budhathoki, Anu Parajuli, Rajesh Dhunga etc. Director – Dinesh Poudel
About ‘Kampan’
The movie ‘Kampan’ is made on a story of earthquake of 2015. The movie directed by Dinesh Poudel was released on June 17, 2016. Although the movie is based on one of the most serious incident in the modern history of Nepal, its theatre presence wasn’t felt. The movie might have been victim of the released of hit movie ‘Gajalu’ which was released a week before ‘Kampan’ release.
To make it easier for our viewers, I have collected all the sequels of the one of the most popular Nepali movie franchise, ‘Nai Nabhannu La’. Although the initial response was lukewarm, the movie piked up in later days.
The first sequel of ‘Nai Nabhannu La’ was released in August of 2010. One of the movie theatres, Hira Ratna, had removed the movie on the second day of it’s release because of low turn out of the viewers (read my report of 2010 – Did viewers say “Nai” to “Nai Na Bhannu La” the next day?). But, the musical love story movie turned out to be a blockbuster movie and did a good business in the theaters inside and outside of Kathmandu valley (Read the Year end report of the movies in 2010). Let me compare the four sequels of the movie in a tabular form:
Although I have all of these movies in separate post, I am compiling them all in one place so that you can enjoy them at the same time. Please comment which one do you like the most and why.

Nepali Movie – Bhai Tika Starring – Shristi Shrestha, Ashuthosh Basnyat, Dikshanta Sharama, Jenas Banjara Director – Sisan Baniya
About ‘Bhai Tika’
The Nepali short movie ‘Bhai Tika’ is about the relationship between brothers and sisters in the contest of Nepali festival Tihar. The 12 minutes long movie shows the childhood memories of the relationship between brothers and sisters.
The movie is told to be the first movie in a series of short movies to be produced by an entertainment department of Chaudhary Group. In the Past CG had produced a number of movies including ‘Visa Girl’. It is told that short movies will be released every two weeks. under the CG Entertainment banner. The short films are told to be made on the stories on social issues as well as entertainment. There had been a flood of vulgar movies in the name of short films. I hope a reputable group’s entry in the making of short movies will help in creating a market for such movies in coming days.
