Junge: A decent attempt gone failed

PC: nepalimovieworld.com

Movie: Junge

Director: Utkal Thapa

Screenplay: Subash Koirala and M.S. Agraj

Starring: Suraj Singh Thakuri, Reecha Sharma, Naresh Poudyal, Anup Baral, Nazir Hussain, Sushil Raj Pandey, Sushank Mainali, Deepsikha Shahi, Kevin Karki and more.

In My Eyes: 2/5

What started on a promising note ended making it feel like watching a south Indian action flick in spite of the carefully handled complex content.

In a sentence, Junge depicts the story of how the title character rises into a powerful position. It is all about the politics and games people play for the power and position. Modernizing the Junga Bahadur Rana history into the today’s time through modern-day characters is as tough as the subject matter itself. The director Thapa has done a decent attempt in so and quite impressively, but the movie overall lacks the grip due to the weaker screenplay.

In my eyes: 50 % of Five Stars                     

Apparently, the basic story-line is the 'returned quotient' in Hostel Returns where faculty has gone into Engineering this time. Like Hostel, it deals with the college life of students staying at hostel. Overall, it makes an entertaining watch.

Plot:

Four boys: Heroic Pratap (Sushil Shrestha) with toned body and the rich father, too innocent and talented Rameshwor Yadav (Nazir Hussain) all the way from Janakpur Dharampur, the hawa Kumaar (Abhaya Baral) for whom is everything sahi ho except from becoming an engineer and normal-er Sameer (Sushil Sitaula) with the far-western accent.
