What I learnt watching Nepali movies for five years

I will happily watch an average Nepali film in a theatre over an average but much-hyped international release.

If someone had told me in early 2018 that I would be watching over 100 Nepali films on the big screen in the following five years, I would have said, “No Chance!” The truth is that I hadn’t even watched 50 Nepali films at the time. But I did feel the need to watch the work coming from the country as I was studying filmmaking and pursuing a career. I had already watched contemporary classics like ‘Pashupati Prasad’, ‘Loot’, or ‘Kagbeni’, but hadn’t yet discovered the brilliant ‘Numafung’ or seen the political thriller ‘Badhsala’.
