However, the whooping10 million Rupees that the movie has earned within a week of its release has put away all my wondering.[break]
Even after a week of its release, it’s surprising to see how most of the cinema halls in the capital are running “Kasle Choryo Mero Mann” HOUSE FULL. Well, it was certainly not fun to sit on the stairs even after paying for the seat.
Oh! Not to miss are the staffs at Gopi Krishna Movies who are collecting as many cartons as they can to provide you to sit on if the seats are HOUSE FULL.
Coming back to the movie, every time when Rekha Films come up with a movie, all eyes come together because the production house definitely is one of the most sought-after in the Nepali silver screen.
After performing the do or die stunts in Rekha Films’ “Hifaajat,” released some six months ago, Nepali movie buffs definitely had much more expectations from “Kasle Choryo Mero Mann.”
Though Rekha Thapa has done nothing OH MY GOD in this recent release, it is sure that one more time her loyal fans will be awed by her maddening cute expressions, and this time it’s her dances that steal the entire show.
Well…to be honest, if you’ve already watched the Hrithik Roshan- and Amisha Patel-starred “Aap Mujhe Achhey Lagney Lagey,” you’ll gradually realize that this movie is more than just an “inspiration.” Not just the whole storyline, there are many dialogues in the film which are blatant translation of the aforementioned Indian flick released some five years ago. Earlier, it was Rekha Films’ “Himmat” which was almost a ditto of Bollywood’s “Taal,” and now it’s Kasle Choryo Mero (Katha)?
The story is nothing extraordinary but a typecast. A girl from a posh family and poor chap from the streets falling in love with each other and fighting against the odds of the society is something you by now have seen thousand times in Nepali movies. Why did the producer spend 7.5 million Rupees for such a story is what I’m still wondering about!
Shot in digital format, the final editing of the movie is done poorly as the camerawork in the second half of the movie isn’t that neat for a digital projection. The cinematography in the first half of the film is taken good care of, especially the night scene of Dharahara is beautiful. For a change even, the costumes that Rekha Thapa wears are taken care of.
Thank God there are no techno blue and yellow skirts this time for the actress who made a fashion disaster in “Hifaajat.” With minimum makeup and no wig, Rekha looks stunning for her character and she’s outstanding when it comes to expressions and dialogue delivery.
Aryan Sigdel is charming and promising, like always. When it comes to acting, Aryan is definitely aware of his grounds and is “the” actor to look up to in the recent Nepali film scene. Both Rekha and Aryan have a great onscreen chemistry.
What puts you off are often the costumes Aryan puts on in the movie. Costume designer Sanu Bharati should’ve refrained from giving extra fitting T-shirts to Aryan as he didn’t look good with half of his stomach exposed most of the times.
And it’s high time for Aryan to stop putting that wig on, which is there in all of his films.
Suresh Adhikary’s soundtracks are soothing. Singers Anju Panta and Dipak Limbu’s voices are the bonus of the movie. Action director Rajendra Khadgi seriously needs to update himself, as his regular dhisum-dhisum is no more WOW to see.
All in all, I’m sure that the movie’s going to rake in huge money within a month. But does that tag give this movie as one of the finest Nepali cinemas one has seen so far? I disagree completely. Considering the fact that the film casts two most promising actors of Nepal, it could’ve done much better.
Lastly, while the Nepali filmmakers are often claiming to have no money to make a good cinema, it’s high time they realized that if you earned more than ten million Rupees in less than a week from a film while having invested only seven million, you have an answer to your own statements.
