    Modern Balidan

    On November 19th, while watching the movie, people even sat on the stairs and watched it. In the first scenes, the applause echoed. The song "Yo Desh" gave a glimpse of the Balidan movie's song Gaun Gaun bata Utha. Hitaiko Maya song made many eyes wet. Swastima and Khagendra's dialogues vividly shows the usual relationship between husband and wife. And in the last scene of the movie, everyone's applause was heard.

    Manpower cheats a poor Nepali man Indra Sharma. After finding out that the manpower involved was related to the local mayor, Indra has to find a way to get justice. That's what the movie is about.

    Reflects to present Nepal's political situation

    The movie reflects to the ongoing situation of Nepal politics. The story starts from a common man trying to leave the country to earn for his family. But unfortunately due to fraud documents from HR agency, he can't go through immigration in Airport. Thus, his story begins to fight against his Mayor by competing with him for upcoming election.

    The story revolves around a common man, middle level businessman, goons and Politician. Khagendra Lamichhane and Dayahang Rai combination is fun to watch as they are childhood friends in the movie. Arpan Thapa plays a corrupted politician who is also antagonist of the story. These actors keeps the momentum throughout the whole movie. Bijay baral and swastima khadka doesn't provide memorable performance as they don't have much to offer. Nischal basnet is one of the top leading directors in Nepal. After a long break comeback, he doesn't give his best direction. I think the screenplay and Background music would have been better.

    This movie should be watched by Nepalese citizens as this shows the true picture of the current political situation. I enjoyed the movie wholeheartedly . Please don't wait to come in Youtube...Just go to your nearest theater and enjoy the experience.

    Dimag Kharab : Worth the time and money

    First of all, The best part of the movie was its direction and cinematography, its brilliant and finely done. It is a social drama movie, which is full of Entertainment.

    The performance of Each and every actors was totally appreciable. Everyone were fit into their characters, and the characters were finely written. The plot of the movie is like a roller coaster rides, with lots of ups and down and lots of twist and turn, the dialogues are totally entertaining. Every Nepalese will relate to the movie. I felt that the second half of the movie could me more justified if it was not rushed to the climax. But the climax was good. It was overall a engaging and entertaining movie as a whole.

    Contextual and sensitizing

    The much needed movie at this point of time for Nepalese audience. The movie reflects the ongoing political country situation. Past events of Balen, Harka Sampang and many other independent candidates also made this film a realistic one. Desh birami hudai xa. 😢 Tara asha ko kiran pani dekhna sakinxa. 😊 the message of the movie is exactly the diet that we Nepalese need right now. This movie will definitely sensitize us. We should promote this movie so that it can reach other people too.

    The movie is entertaining from the beginning to the end as well. Dialogue is on point. Acting is superb. I would not hesitate to give this movie 10/10. Well done Nischal basnet and the whole crew of the movie. 👏👏👏

    Made for us and may be by one of Us

    Its Monday 10:15 AM show. Normally the crowd wouldn't have gathered so much but its festive season and the stakes are high. This movie is competing with two giants "Tiger 3" and "Marvels" but still crowd is there so word of mouth must be good. I chose my pockets money to this one over the other two, for other two I ll wait for different reviews but this one I did go blindly.

    If Checking the viewers pulse is an art you must say Nischal has nailed that art , something similar to Rajkumar Hirani or Rohit Shetthy in bollywood. There are lot of "Whisteling" moments especially whenever the Nischhal appears in his cameos. Because they are like falsettos for the viewers.

    The movie picks up the most generic problem of common man and brings the journey of making that common man a leader in the form of "indra sharma". Khagendra Playing Indra Sharma is always known for his emotional role starting from Pashupati Prasad, then Dhanapati .. the list goes on. However, here he has got trops even his sandal has the arch from being broken to an election symbol. The comic punches are in the form of Dayahang Rai who has provided the light heartedness in the movie. Arpan is into the mayor's character with his poker face, this is a treat to watch. In swastima you can see the growth, she is adding her accolades brick by brick. Songs are beautiful, specially the one with "Birami Mulukma" brings the glimpses of "Garibko Chameli" or Ayushman's Khurana starrer Article 15's " Bade Bade logan ke" the folk song. Similarity is it talks about people in bottom, the marginalized the ones without social safety nets. Its gonna be in my listening list for long..because I was stomping my feet even in the theater.

    It's not like Nischhal has not taken the liberty of convenience but it is worth watching because this movie is for us and by one of us may be....
