Despite fears about Joker not being released in Nepal, the film finally made its way to theatres, serving as a lesson to both filmmakers and policymakers.

The film is little more than a vehicle for superstars Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff to showcase their fighting and dancing abilities, and it doesn’t want to be anything else.

Priyanka Karki’s web series is a lazy and unjust attempt at representing queer relationships.

For Ram Babu Gurung, third time is still not a charm.

Sunny Leone is the best thing about this film, and that’s not saying much.

A film about the trans community should do its subject justice, but Maruni seems to pity its lead character.

Director Milan Chams wants to teach comedian Pranesh Gautam a lesson because of a bad review, but if Bir Bikram 2 is anything to go by, it is perhaps Chams who needs a lesson in respecting women.

The basic plot of the film is unoriginal. Nepali filmmakers seem to believe that there is a formula for a romantic film with young people. First, titling your film like it’s a sequel, even though it has nothing to do with the other films in the franchise.

That aside, Saili comes with its own set of expectations. The music video never explained too much, thus engaging our imaginations and involving us emotionally by demanding the audience participate.
