Antim Sanskar is a thriller that skillfully balances excitement with a well-crafted storyline. Director Pradeep Shahi orchestrates a tense narrative, enhanced by standout performances from the cast. The plot, filled with unexpected twists, kept me engaged, although at times, the complexity left me questioning the finer details. Visually stunning, This film delivers a thrilling cinematic experience that, while occasionally demanding, ultimately pays off with its visuals and memorable moments.
Looking forward to more thought-provoking and pulse-quickening films from this promising director and crew in the future.

It's a fresh breathe of air for Nepalese Audiences and certainly breaks the status qua of Nepalese cinema. Director Pradeep Shahi's passion and will to change the face of Nepalese Cinema is visible through this Movie. The way he incorporates Nepalese culture while telling nail biting story is work of an true artist. The movie has a unique plots and twists which really engages the audiences. Also the actors have equally done great work. All the characters are believable and actors have given there best effort for their role. Cinematography of the movie is the crown jewel of all. Its cold and blue color make it more thrilling. Overall this movie can be example to Nepalese filmmakers for what we can achieve with shoestring budget. Absolute Masterpiece.

It is a commendable effort from the director and the entire team to provide Nepalese audience with a different and unique concept.
Riveting cinematography and polished colour grading does complete justice to capture the praiseworthy visuals seen on the celluloid; especially the beauty of the mountains, the dark ambience also serves to build the mood of the film.
The story of the movie tries to delve into very sensitive subjects and complex human emotions. It is a very mature take on issues such as trauma, drug/ alcohol abuse, resentment, loss, regrets etc. And they are very well portrayed by impressive acting performances. Without giving any spoilers away, watch out for 'That' scene! When the movie reaches it's crescendo near the climax, must say the scene was very Gorgeous! "Pun intended"
Notwithstanding the fact, the movie has its flaws and areas for improvement, especially sound design and background scores; however, this movie is a huge stride forward towards a hopeful and promising future for Nepali cinema. Kudos to the whole team involved with the project!

Caught this gem in its limited UK theatrical release-what a ride! A two-hour Himalayan murder mystery that offers a refreshing twist on the cop drama genre. Balancing drama and light-hearted moments, it seamlessly guides the audience into unexpected darkness. A departure from the ordinary Nepali film, it's a unique cinematic experience. The cinematography captures the essence of the Himalayas beautifully. With its intriguing plot, well-executed drama, and unexpected turns, this film is destined for a wider audience. Wouldn't be surprised to find it on Netflix soon! OST is one of the best I have heard.
Pradeep Shahi's fantastic work shines in this unique Nepali film, boasting amazing performances and picturesque photography. The film's amazing color grade stands out, making it a solid entry in world cinema from Nepal. Exploring the ancient Himalayan ritual of sky burial was surprisingly captivating, adding depth to the narrative. The film's strength lies in its portrayal of cultural nuances. The ending is a showstopper, leaving a lasting impact. A must-watch for those seeking a cinematic journey that blends tradition, artistry, and a touch of the unexpected. Good to see Nepali cinema on the rise👏👏👏👏👏👏
I walked into this movie without any expectations-just needed to kill some time while waiting for a friend. But I'm so glad I did, because it ended up being an unexpectedly heartfelt and beautifully made film. The story gradually pulls you in, balancing emotional depth with moments of lightness. The lead performances were genuinely moving, and the chemistry between the characters felt natural and unforced. The direction and cinematography were thoughtful, enhancing the emotional weight of each scene without being overbearing. What started as a random choice became a meaningful experience. I left the theater with a smile and a few things to reflect on. Would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a film that quietly leaves an impact.
