Dhaago Sambandha Ko: Artmandu’s new release shows how festivals can’t be the same for everyone

In a yellowish light that metaphorically indicates the early morning, as a soft beat is being played in the background, a sister character (Liza Karki) is splashing a drop of water on his brother (Nirajan Karki) to make him wake up from the bed. He wakes up and then squabbles with his sister. Then, the shots shift outdoors where the family members are painting their house because it is the festive season. Then, the brother character is invited by his friends to fly the kite . At first, his father, played by Hark Saud, does not allow him to go but later he lets him join the lads.

This is how the musical film Dhaago Sambandha Ko, a recent work of Artmandu, begins.
