Nepali cinema is growing and it’s getting better with time, and it’s a good thing it has been able to attract a better number of audiences lately. But a lot of things still need to be done in order to reach the point when we can actually say that Nepali cinema has now made a good progress. One of them is to be making films on different subjects and genres. We have always been seeing the films of the same and limited genres – love, action, drama and comedy. Most of our films revolve around these genres and our filmmakers are afraid to experiment and we can understand their situation because it’s always hard to try something new as there are various risks involved. And when there is someone who is ready to take all of these risks in order to serve something fresh in front of the audiences, they have our respect already.
Sci Fi is one of the most popular genres in Hollywood and hundreds of films have been made on the same genre. But it’s a completely new genre in Nepali cinema and that’s the reason ‘Bijuli Machine’ is probably the first film to be made on this genre. The film revolves around two students who are trying to generate electricity through sound.
The film that will mark the debut of Abhishek Subedi, Jeewan Adhikari and Reliza Shrestha also stars Buddhi Tamang and Rajesh Hamal. The film produced under the banner of Silhouette International Pvt. Ltd. is directed by a well known ad film-maker, Navin Awal, who has earlier directed a critically acclaimed shot film titled ‘One Percent‘. The film is scheduled for its release on September 16th.
A teaser of the film was released in January earlier this year which has been garnering good responses. Give it watch here and let us know what you think about it.
Well, it looks like an interesting flick and we will definitely be watching it. And we totally think that you should as well and support the daring filmmakers who are ready to experiment even when there are so many risks. Hats off!
