Homework – is short of homework

Movie: Homework

PC: www.isansar.com

Director: Nirak Poudel

Script: Shibham Adhikari

Starring: Aryan Sigdel, Gauri Malla, Namrata Shrestha, Bijay Lama, etc.

In My Eyes: 1.5/5

The social drama Homework has tried to show the clash of two generations and deliver the message on the importance of education through an old man’s journey of schooling in his sixties. Now, this very content is actually interesting and when I first saw the trailer, I thought there’s something new, substantial and authentic in this one. Turns out disappointing.

The old man in the movie is a rich businessman, who has ever supporting and loving and caring wife, a son ashamed of his lack of education and a childhood friend in the form of a school principal. An incident or two happens that leads the old man to disappear from his home, only to be found later in the school of his friend, as a student in full uniform. While he continues his study staying at school for years, his son back at home destroys the business due to his arrogance.

Classic: Not Really!

Movie: Classic

Director: Dinesh Raut

Starring: Aryan Sigdel, Namrata Shrestha, and others

In my eyes: 1.5/5

When it comes to movies, love stories are the ones that we have watched so many times. What makes a love story interesting? Answers differ. While happy ones are loved most, I guess the tragic ones are the most famous among others. Classic has one tragic love story to tell, which I found similar to something like ‘the old wine in a new bottle’. Sadly, wine tasted no good.

Honestly, the first half was very boring. The flashback and a couple of twists and turns did not help enough to arouse any engagingness. The second half was better though. The story moved at a good pace and it somehow became interesting to watch, slash the awkward looking conversations. Perhaps, the tragic sentiments helped post interval!

Singing Ladies from Nepali Movie Industry

Acting and singing – they’re interrelated. This has to be one of the wonderful traits of performance art.

We have pretty cool singers in Namrata Shrestha and Priyanka Karki. They can literally go professional on the lines of other good singers we have in our country.

Namrata Shrestha crooned the cover for Bistarai Bistarai (original by Rohit John Chhetri) in her movie Soul Sister. Her voice is damn good; it's soothing and beautiful.

Movie: Sambodhan

Director: Hemraj BC

Starring: Dayahang Rai, Namrata Shrestha, Prashant Tamrakar, Binaya Bhatta

In My Eyes: ** (out of 5 stars)

Oh yes, corruption is indeed the most challenging problem of Nepal in present scenario. Movie Sambodhan tells the fact that corruption lies somewhere within each one of us and in many daily doings, so the change must start from ourselves to eradicate corruption from its roots.

Plot:

Ramji Gole (Dayahang Rai), senior inspector is leading an investigative case of serial murder, which has taken place in a very similar manner – coins scattered over dead body.
