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: 1.5/5

This movie is yet another example of how the weak screenplay ruins the otherwise heavyweight content raised inside a film. This might also be an example of misbalance between the plots leading to the dilemma that what the primary motive of a movie or of a protagonist is.

The writing is very poor; it just couldn’t justify the theme of a movie. It raises the upper caste-lower caste discrimination problem, like in the first installment, but the developments for so look forcedly input. The whole initial processing between the characters of Yash Kumar, Ashishma Nakarmi and Babu Bogati looks rather unconvincing on the screen; it looked superficial and sadly, this was what the most of the first half contained.
