Gajalu Works

PC: merocinema.com

Movie: Gajalu

Director/ Writer: Hemraj BC

Actors: Anmol KC, Shristi Shrestha, Menuka Pradhan, Salon Basnet, Gaurav Pahari, Ritik Shahi and Gauri Malla, Krishna Malla, etc.

In My Eyes:  3/5

Gajalu is a rom-com that primarily focuses on the relation between an ex-Kumari and a guy helping her to live an independent normal life rather than succumbing to the cultural pressures of being Kumari, which is the main highlight of this movie.

Good things first, Gajalu turns out to be one decent movie with a good presentation of pretty average story. The flow is smooth and the movie, overall, is entertaining. This is director Hemraj BC’s best work till date. The little sibling chemistry between Anmol KC and Menuka Pradhan’s characters is sweet and seems realistic.

A Bored Evening with Tin Ekanta

Director: Anup Baral

Translation: Aashant Sharma

Story: Nirmal Verma

On stage: Menuka Pradhan, Aashant Sharma, Deeya Maskey, Suraj Malla

(Play is being staged on Theater Village, Lazimpat till 25 August, 2015)

I was eager to watch this play and when I finally did watch it this evening, I feel bad to say that I’m disappointed. I won’t say that play is not good because it has all the good intentions but I, individually, felt it boring. Good stories, better performances, attractive set design and lighting, nice music, dosage of humor, a good use of videography on background to support the narration, but still I couldn’t help but feel bored.

Resham Filili – A Wholesome Entertainer

Movie: Resham Filili

Director: Pranab Joshi

Starring: Vinay Shrestha, Kameshwor Chaurasiya, Karma, Menuka Pradhan, Sisheer Bangdel, Arun Regmi, Ashutosh Raj Shrestha, Laxmi Giri and more.

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.
