Nepali cinema: ‘One way’ is about gangster life, disco bar, gang fights and drug addiction. The movie also depicts the role of parents in children’s life. Raj Kumar Rai’s “ONE WAY” features Robin Tamang as biggest DON of Nepal. Before this, Robin was also featured in Mukhata and Chhadke. Although he is not considered the best actor, he has a huge fan base for what he has achieved in Rock music. The picture also features Siddhartha Gurung, the son of popular don Deepak Manangne. Another popular artist playing a part in the movie are Wilson Bikram Rai (Takme Buda), Prakash Ojha and Karishma Manandhar.

“The number of divorces has doubled in the last five years to 1,824 in 2013, most of them filed by women. One in ten family-related cases filed in the courts are divorces, and have overtaken cases relating to land, money lending, and inheritance.”

This shows that people are embracing divorce as an option if they cannot get along. For kids, divorce can be too stressful. They may feel indecisive or irritated at the prospect of mom and dad splitting up. As a parent, you can make the process and its effects less painful for your children. Helping your kids cope with divorce means providing stability in your home and attending to your children’s needs with a reassuring, positive attitude. It won’t be a seamless process, but these tips can help your children cope. Sometimes it’s difficult to get along and divorce might be the only option left, but at least we can successfully navigate this unsettling time and help our kids emerge from it feeling loved, confident, and strong. The film, One Way somehow manages to illustrate how easily a teen child can destroy his life when he doesn’t get enough support from his parents or when his parents are divorced.

I loved the story and the concept of the movie. It looked modern and fresh. The screenplay, however was not good. Although the first half of the movie looked waste of time, but it recovered in the second half. There are few things in the script that I could not take. When Sid was brought in front of Charlie, it was not well presented how Charlie accepted Sid as his friend. In the end, a teenage guy killing all men of a big gangster alone was a bit difficult to take. As he was on his way to kill Charlie, only one man was there at a time to fight with him or stop him. Does that mean all the men of a gangster like to stay alone? I don’t think he would be so lucky to get one man at a time, when he is going to kill the biggest don.

Suraj Subba couldn’t get best out of his stars. I am a great fan of RobinTamang, and loved his role as don, but his performance looked exaggerated on few occasions. There were signs of immaturity in Siddhartha Gurung as well. Takme Buda couldn’t impress too, and he seems to cry a lot. Karishma’s performance as a mother was, however impressive and she looked beautiful as ever.
