Average Lukamari

Movie: Lukamari

PC: facebook.com/lukamarimovie

Director: Shree Ram Dahal

Screenplay: Binod Khatiwada

Actors: Saugat Malla, Karma, Bikram Singh Tharu, Surabina Karki, Rista Basnet and others

In My Eyes: 2.5/5

Lukamari is a suspense drama packed inside a box of comedy. The basic storyline is how two police officers go undercover to investigate a crime and how they carry their task. It is, as the title suggests, a hide-and-seek between cops and criminals.

Good things first, Lukamari carries good content. The presentation is well and so is the characterization of lead characters; the performances compliment it rightly. Making the movie not get overly serious by the use of comic factors helps the entertainment value of the movie. The punch lines and the few scenes make sure to get audience lol. The nuances of basic Kathmandu life in the first half are well-displayed. The last half hour is dramatic and keeps you hooked.

In my eyes: *** (out of 5)

First thing first, it’s all about entertainment! And this entertainment flick is wonderful, total paisa-wasool. Resham Filili literally makes the audience filili and how!

Resham Filili is the story of two friends, Resham and Hariya, who are common poor men residing in Kathmandu valley and struggling to achieve their goals. As its genre goes comedy, it has a grand package of humor and comic elements, stuffed with the appropriate emotions and sensitivity too. The hype song Jaalma had created for movie is justified, as the movie does not let you down; instead, it refreshes you, makes you laugh out loud and put a pleasing smile on your face.
