Nepali movie ‘Lanka’ was the solo release on November 16, 2012. And the only Nepali movie to relase on the following week, ‘ATM’ was also banned from the theater on the accusation of trying to cheat the censor board. In that way, ‘Lanka’ was lucky to be the only Nepali movie in theater for two weeks. That was one of the reasons ‘Lanka’ has been successful so far.
Lanka is made on regular masala story of the clash of good and evil. The movie features actress Rekha Thapa in the leading role as a police officer. Kishor Khatiwada (Satya), Rekha Thapa (Saraswati Pandey) and Nandu Sribastav (Babubhai) are the main characters of the movie directed by Shayam Bhattarai.
Actress Rekha Thapa’s upcoming movie ‘Lanka’ is to be released next week on November 9, 2012. The female centric movie features Rekha in a role of a police inspector.
The movie directed by Shyam Bhattarai features Rekha Thapa, Kishor Khatiwada, Dhruba Koirala, Nandu Sribastav, Malati Shah etc. in main roles. The story of the movie is written by the producer and Rekha’s husband Chhabiraj Ojha.
UPDATE – 2016:

Divorce in Nepali movie sector has become a common happening these days. Divorce brings in pain and problems and doesn’t come easy for both the parties involved. The traditional Nepali society has made it even worse in terms of setting a ‘bad example’ in the society.
Let’s analyze some of the high profile problems in marriages of the personalities of Nepali movie industry:
Bhuwan KC / Sushmita KC – Bhuwan KC is known for his affairs with various ladies. Bhuwan KC’s first marriage with Bijaya KC ended when Bijaya went to USA with their kids. Bhuwan found Sushmita KC as his second wife. That too didn’t lasted long and they ‘divorced’ until they reunited again after the release of “Ma Timi Bina Marihalchu”. But, they have divorced again. Bhuwan’s affair with Sharmila Dangol didn’t go far and he is living alone these days. We won’t be surprised if Bhuwan and Sushmita get together after the release of ‘Sathi Ma Timro’ as predicted by friends in Films Nepal. (update- they didn’t get together, but there is rumor that Bhuwan is having an affair with Jiya KC)
Nepali film ‘Mousam’ is a hit movie featuring Rajesh Hamal, Aryan Sigdel, Ranjana Sharma, Ganesh Upreti, Sharmila Malla etc. The story of the movie is written by the director Shyam Bhattarai.
Shyam’s wife of that time, Ranjana Sharma is also one of the actress in the movie.Ranjana has left Shyam to go and live in the USA. According to reports, Ranjana might have to go back to Nepal as her Green Card application hasbeen rejected by the US government.
