Top 5 Nepali Movies of 2071 B.S.

The past year, as always, saw about 100 movies released and as always, only a few of them proved to be the remarkable ones. 2071 was the year that gave us wonderful Kabaddi and strong Talakjung vs Tulke. The love-story flicks November Rain and Jerryy became both the money-spinner and audience-pleaser.

Some movies with high expectations let down the audiences. Sadanga, Tandav, Shree Paanch Ambare,  Sambodhan fall in this category. Few masala movies fared big at the box-office. Himmatwali, Lajja, Hawaldaar Suntali, Nai Nabhannu La 3 are examples. There was nothing new to point out in these ones but they were surely entertaining for the targeted audience.

And there were some movies attempting something new, which were good too but the box-office factor didn’t go well for them. Suntali, Mala, Red Monsoon are few to name.

Here I have picked my favorite ones. (Although the post title says Top 5, here are 7 in numbers actually)

One word that sums up all the beautiful features of Suntali is “fresh”, ‘fresh’ in terms of location, storyline, presentation, music, cinematography and performances.
