Nepali movie: ‘Alvida’ is a story of a rising don of Siraha, ‘Mahadev’. The movie presents his conflict with ‘Ranvir Bhaiya’, another don of the same area and romance with ‘Zoya’. The movie also features superstar Aryan Sigdel as super cop.

Nepal has a history of corrupt system. Most of dons have been receiving blessings and other required support from various political parties and their top guns, according to investigative officials. This is an embarrassment to their parties and senior leaders. ‘Alvida’ presents the life of a don and also depicts their relationship with political parties and police officers. “The introduction of the new law against organized crime by the second CA is likely to make the task easier for duty-bound cops. The new law can provide enough power to the security organs to bust criminal gangs. These organized criminal gangs are dangerous for the safety of the common people and the interests of the nation. If allowed to run freely, the gangsters might even establish relations with hardened criminals and terrorists of the region.” – Narayan Upadhyay (ekantipur.com)

The movie has a good script but presentation looks out of order. Most of the time movie seemed flat and boring and background score was loud not helping. Performance was good from most artists. Ranvir bhaiya’s energetic performance in particular was impressive. Choreography on was better. Cinematography was below average. The movie rarely has any creditable dialogues. They were all too normal and flat that could easily make you sleep.

Directed by Rishi Lamichhane, ‘Sorry la’ is a movie about two best friends, Anek(Subash Thapa) and Sakaar(Rajan Khatiwoda), but with opposite personalities. Anek is free, open minded and charming personality who wants to play with girls and enjoy, while Sakaar is very shy, introvert, lonely personality with a scar on his face, which makes him more depressed. While most of the people depend on their eye to choose most of the things, Sakaar (Lead character) thinks that beauty should be felt. “Beauty is always beyond the limit of eyes. It is not observed but should be felt. To feel beauty, we only need heart which rarely anyone does”. A lot of people will try to be smart by saying “you should not judge a book based on its cover”, but in reality it is found that our subconscious mind will contradict us and force us to judge people based on their looks during initial encounters.

“Sorry La” is another fantastic Nepali movie, with good script, fine screenplay and good dialogues. The first half is full of fun and humor while the second half is all about overwhelming distress. I loved the B-boying done by the kids however good visual effects could have been added to make the dance even more remarkable. There we very few ugly coincidences in the movies but had an amazing sensation after watching this movie. After all, it’s difficult to get movies of this level in Nepal.

After ‘Birkhe Lai Chinchhas’, this is another movie of Subash Thapa and I think he has showed signs of improvements on this movie. He has performed very well with charm and enthusiasm to portray the character of a playboy. There were few awkward moments, but overall I must admit that he has done very well. Another character, Rajan Khatiwada has done exceptionally well from his side and I think he is a role to take this movie to different level. Another, I was really impressed with the acting of child actor Roshan Maharjan.

“You can easily get a girl in this world if you just have any one of these three A’s. ‘Aanuhar(face)’, ATM and Attitude”
– Anek

Plot:

The movie starts in a Teej Festival Fashion show featuring Anek as model. Anek is joyful, handsome and a womanizer. He has a very close friend, Sakaar who is introvert, shy and depressed because of his ugly face mark. He feels bad inside because of not being able to get a girlfriend. So he tries “Facebook”, uses Anek’s photo and finds a beautiful girlfriend, Prashamsa. Prashamsa wants to meet Sakaar in real and comes to Kathmandu. But she finds Anek and goes with him which turns a long friendship into hatred. It’s very interesting what happens next, so, I wouldn’t like to disclose after this.

Good story, fine screenplay, wonderful performances by most artists and good humor, how much more reasons do you need to watch this movie?
