चलचित्र भनेको 'दृश्य' हो भन्ने कुरा चलचित्र मौन हेरेपछि अनुभव भयो । संवाद थोरै छन् (सवटाइटल राखिएकोछ), अत: सबै भार दृश्यमा परेकोछ,  ती संवादहिन दृश्यहरु हामीलाई हलमा सुरु देखि अन्त्य सम्म बाँधेर राख्न सफल छन् । "मौन" नामक किताब र त्यसकी लेखिका वर्षा (नम्रता श्रेष्ठ) को परिचय सँगै चलचित्रको कथा सुरु हुन्छ । सुन्न र बोल्न नसक्ने वर्षा अमेरिकामा आफ्नो बुवासँग बस्छिन् । उनी केही समयको लागि नेपाल फर्केर आएकिछिन् र उनीजस्तै बोल्न र सुन्न नसक्ने व्यक्तिहरुका लागि व्यक्तित्व विकासको वर्कसप आयोजना गर्छिन् । व्यक्तित्व विकासको वर्कसपमा वर्षा र अमन (अर्पण थापा)को भेट हुन्छ । यही भेट पछि प्रेमा रुपान्तर हुन्छ, बिचमा केही उतारचढावहरु आउँछन्, साना-साना कुरामा उनीहरु छुट्टिन्छन् अनि फेरि भेटिन्छन् ! वर्षा सबै परिवार सहित अमेरिका फर्कने क्रमा हुन्छिन् तर उनको जिवनमा अकास्मात नसोचिएको घटना घट्न पुग्छ ।अमन सुरुमा देख्दा अलि 'साइको' पाराको लाग्छ तर वर्षासँगको सामिप्यतासँगै उसमा केही परिवर्तनहरु देखिनथाल्छन् ।अमनलाई सँधै एउटा सपनाले बारम्बार सताउने गर्छ, उक्त सपनाको रहस्य फि

गतहप्ता फ्रान्सेली केन्द्रमा भएको कार्यक्रममा मैले एउटा प्रश्न सोधेको थिँए, "जनयुद्धका विषयमा बनेका चलचित्रहरु किन हेर्ने वा भनौँ उमा किन हेर्ने?", उत्तर थियो "उमा 'वार मुभी' होइन तर तत्कालिन जनयुद्धका कारण उब्जिएका विभिन्न समस्याहरु मध्यको एउटा पाटोको चित्रण हो । वास्तवमा भन्ने हो भने, 'उमा' मानविय सम्बन्ध र सम्वेदना कथा हो ।नेपाल प्रहरी सेवामा रहेको दाजु र माओवादी जनयुद्धमा होमिएकी बहिनी बिचको सम्बन्धको कथा नै उमाको कथा हो।" दाजु मिलन कुँवर (सौगात मल्ल) प्रहरी सेवामा छन्, बहिनी उमा (रिचा शर्मा) प्लस टुको पढाइ पछि काठमाडौँ गएर नर्सिङ पढ्ने  चाहना छ, अनि आमा (मिथिला शर्मा) बिरामी छिन्। गाउँमा सुनिल सर (प्रकाश घिमिरे) छन्, उनी क्रान्तिका कुरा गर्छन्, सामाजिक विभेदका विरुद्ध आवाज उठाउन प्रेरित गर्छन्, साहित्यका माध्यमबाट राजनैतिक चेत युवाहरूमा बाँड्ने कोशिस गर्छन् । सुनिल सरको अभियानमा सहभागी हुन, दिल्लीमा इन्जिनियरिङ पढिरहेका सुनिल सरका पुराना विद्यार्थी अनिल (प्रविण खतिवडा), सुनिल सरकै गाउँमा आउँछन् । सुनिल सर माओवादी भएको निहुँमा प्रहरीबाट मारि

हाइवे इलामबाट सुरु हुन्छ र काठमाडौँमा गएर सकिन्छ, यही बिचमा कथाका हरेक पात्रलाई ‘स्थापित’ गरिन्छ, अनि ‘हाइवे’मा ती पात्रहरुको जिवन कसरी जोडिएकोछ भनेर दर्शकले थाहा पाउँदा नपाउँदै चलचित्र सकिन्छ । चलचित्र सकिएपछि यसले दर्शकलाई ‘हाइवे’का विभिन्न आरोह अवरोहका बारेमा सोच्न बाध्य बनाउँछ । ईलामबाट काठमाडौँको लागि गुडेको बस राजन खतिवडाले चलाएकाछन्! बस यात्रीका रुपमा दयाहाङ राई, सृष्टि घिमिरे, ईलम दिक्षित लगायतछन्, उनीहरुको सबैको जिवन काठमाडौँसँग जोडिएकोछ, अर्को अर्थमा भन्दा ‘हाइवे’मा जोडिएकोछ । भारतिय लाहुरे दयालाई ३६ घन्टा भित्र घर पुग्नुपर्नेछ, ईलमलाई अनलाइनबाट बनाएको आफ्नो ‘गे’ साथिलाई भेट्नुछ, सृष्टिको बिहे अमेरिकाबाट फर्केको बच्चाबेलाको साथि कर्मासँग हुँदैछ, अर्की एकजना आफ्नो छोरीज्वाईको बिग्रेको सम्बन्ध सुधार गराउने धुनमा काठमाडौँ जाँदैछिन, ड्राइभरलाई पनि आफ्नी प्रेमिका ‘डान्सबार’ डान्सर रिचालाई भेट्नुछ । तर उनीहरुको बस बन्दको मारमा पर्छ । सबैलाई काठमाडौँ पुग्ने हतार भएको हुँदा दयाले बिहेको नाटक गरौँ भन्दै सृष्टि र इलमको बिहे गराएर, बन्दबाट आफ्नो गाडि फुत्काउँछन् । कहिले फ्ल्यासब्य

अभिभावक छोराछोरीको बारेमा एककिसिमको सपना देख्छन्, अनि छोराछोरी आफ्नो भविष्यको बारेमा बेग्लै सपना बुनिरहेकाहुन्छन् । दुई पुस्ताले आ-आफ्नै किसिमले भविष्यको सपना बुन्छन्, अनि दुवै आफूले चाहेको होस् भन्ने चाहन्छन् । तर आफूले सोचेको र भनेको जस्तो नहुँदा ‘फ्रस्ट्रेसन’ को शिकार बन्न पुगिन्छ । आफ्ना सपना र चाहनाहरु अरुले नबुझिदिँदा युवाहरुमा उत्पन्न ‘फ्रस्ट्रेसन’ र त्यसले निम्त्याउने परिणाम नै चलचित्र ‘अपवाद’को कथासार हो। चलचित्रको मुख्य पात्र सुयोग (राजबल्लभ कोइराला) व्यवस्थापन (Managemet) को विद्यार्थी भएपनि उसको चाहना एउटा सफल लेखक बन्ने छ । उसको बुवा (रवि गिरी) को चाहना छ, म्यानेजमेन्ट पढेको छोरोले कुनै ठूलो कम्पनीमा जागिर खाओस् । उसकी आमा (विजया गिरी) को चाहना छ, छोरोले चाँडै बिहे गरिदेओस् । सुयोगकी साथी सुनन्दा (निशा अधिकारी)को चाहना छ, सुयोगले उसको बुवाले भनेको जस्तै गरिदियोस्, अनि बचेको समयमा आफ्नो साहित्यको सोख पुरा गरोस् । बुवाको जागिर खानुपर्ने अडान अनि आफ्नो लेखक बन्ने चाहना बिच अन्तरसंघर्ष चर्किएपछि, सुयोग युके जाने चक्करमा लाग्छ । त्यसै समयमा युकेका धेरै कलेजहरु कालोसूचीमा परेप

Nepali movie, ‘Highway’ team has launched Kickstarter campaign to raise money to pay for final edit, sound design, color correct and mix. Fundraising is new for Nepali, but very old thing for international cinema. Highway is first of its kind Nepali film, directed by Deepak Rauniyar and co-produced by New York-based film production company Louverture Films, headed by Hollywood actor/producer Danny Glover and Joslyn Barnes. The film is special in many terms, like it's first Nepali film to be produced by a Hollywood-based company. It's first of its kind film to have an ensemble casting. It's been produced by two doctors, Dr. Sameer M Dixit and Lonim P Dixit. It's the first feature film to be directed by Rauniyar who shot to fame with his shorts like Chaukaith and Pooja. However, what makes the film Highway even more special is the recent fundraising campaign it has launched to garner funds to complete the post-production works of the film. Highway has opened its doors

A first trailer of most awaited Nepali movie 'Highway -- An artery of relationships' has been released officially last Friday and was launched online late Saturday night due to some technical reasons. I was one of the invitee of that promo launch program and glad to see such an wonderful trailer of the movie 'Highway'. I used to complain a lot about Nepali Movies, not only on story and presentation but I do complain on trailer and posters as well. But after seeing that promo, I was unable to complain, rather Kamal Mani Dixit got an issue. He challenged Naseeruddin Shah, an Indian Film Actor that Naseeruddin cannot judge 'Highway' just by looking posters and trailers now. Point to be noted that, few months back Naseeruddin had made a statement that anyone can judge the Nepali Movie's standard just by looking at the posters, and somehow it's the bitter truth of Nepali Film Industry. Do I've to say about trailer? Trailer is just awesome. Since,

By Anjali Timalshina , “ LUST ” as a title for movie- the first time I heard about it, I thought it was something related to a sensual relationship between a guy and a girl -- obviously, the title gave it away. Nevertheless it was not quite the story that matched my prophecy. Having the opportunity to watch the premier show of the “BUDS Best Film” award winner movie, I could say that I had raised expectations from the enthusiastic team of the filmmakers. On the other hand, what added my prospects was the fact that the movie was releasing on one of the prospective and active youth blogger “Aakar’s” blog Aakar Post that promoted the movie utilizing every possible resource. Getting to the story- the protagonist (or the con protagonist) portrayed by Pawan Jha and Manisha Bista as the lead lady in the movie seriously could not win my heart. I cannot exact about the conditions and time the movie was directed under, neither would I say that the director could not find the right person to
