Watch "Raghav" here

The Raj Ballav Koirala‘s film ‘Raghav’ surprised everybody by releasing it in the internet instead of in theaters like other movies. Every other Nepali movies wait at least a year before releasing in YouTube. In that time they try to make the required profit from theaters and DVD sales. Releasing in YouTube is relatively a new trend and there are some producer still skeptical in releasing their films in internet. When ‘Raghav’ broke the tradition, a lot of Nepali film industry were surprised and some were even scared of the new development.

In response, ‘Raghav’ director Bhupendra Bhattarai wrote a long statement in Facebook (quoted below). The summary of his statement:

They want to try a different approach in distribution of movies.
Targeted audience of ‘Raghav’ is not Nepali theater audience but Nepali students in international institutions.
The film has already recouped the investment and the YouTube version does not earn any revenue.
Before releasing for free 500 copies of the film were sold.

Namrata Shrestha movies Sambodhan and Tandav releasing on the same day

Posted on July 29, 2014July 30, 2014 by Anand Nepal

Two new movies of actress Namrata Shrestha, ‘Sambodhan’ and ‘Tandav’ are releasing on the same day, August 22, 2014. We don’t know the exact reason of such a blunder clash, but it is easy to guess that it is some sort of a clash of ego.

Watch Namrata telling about her plan of promotion:

Releasing two movies of the same actress on the same day doesn’t make any business sense. That too, when most of the Nepali movies have been unsuccessful in recent days. During the press meet of one of the movies ‘Sambodhan’ Namrata confirmed that the movies are releasing on the same day. She told she would spend fifty percent of her promotion time on each movie (see attached video).

About ‘Tandav’, Namrata’s statement aren’t that positive:

We don’t know which movie her fans would like to watch. Researches show, when there are more than one options, people don’t make decisions – that is, they don’t choose any of the. Does that mean, there will less number of Namrata’s fan watching either of the movies? We will surely get the answer in a week!
