First ... came Kaagbeni... then Sano Sansaar and now we have Mission Paisa! Key cha common koora ? Well, Nepal ko top music video directors haru lay banayako film haru and most of the ppl say 'It sucks... mein!'
I really wanted to go watch Kaagbeni but my latthu friend said, 'It's @#$!ing too slow that I had enough time to watch the movie and work on my Master's thesis @ the same time!'.... waaa! I guess that's what we call multi-tasking!
Bhusan Dhaaal used to be the coolest dude when he had his 'Sunday Pop' program on NTV! And he's done well for himself... as the main honcho for Kantipur TV, making 1.5 lakhs per month! Usko side-job music video banau-ney... he makes like 1-2 lakhs choo-t-tai!
But with Kaagbeni, Nobody could figure out if he was making a documentary or a feature film! So, I saved my 200 Rupees!
Then came... Sano Sansaar... another music video director, Alok Name-bang and nobody could figure out if he was making a music video or a feature film. Who the @#$! dances like that in KTM? Baroo... 90 minute ko 20 oh-taa music video bana-yera film ma halday hoonthyo!
And now , we have Mission Paisa by another great music video director Simos Soon-War! Either the MP team just watched Matrix only last year or they really want to give us an action-packed dhamaka!
MP is getting whacked in FaceBook. I think our KTM's young folks are having a blast ... bitch-slapping the MP team! Film jhoor bhaye pachi film jhoor cha bhanna pani napauney?
Soon ko thaal ma khana khaye pani.. khana nai jhoor bhaya pachi key soon key la-soon?
Anyways.. we have to thank our music video directors for whatever they thought they were doing... and maybe they should stick to them 'model naachney music videos' instead of wasting their time .... with feature films!
After all... why do you want to waste your time and energy, making a feature film when you can make few lakhs by doing a 3 minute music video? And it's a piece of cake too... euta model rakhdyo, halli-na pathau and then it's done!
argh. think i lost my comment....so let me try and re-type.
ReplyDeletei've only seen a very few nepali movies...the one where they sing 'sundariko mannma basne ko hola' before 1992...and then saugat around then and i watched clips of 'darpan chhaya' on youtube two years ago....as for the more recent (modern?) stuff i've only seen kaagbeni. but, i will watch sano sansaar and mission paisa as soon as i get the chance. i see how people seem to be talking trash about all three, but i think they might be alright...it is a sincere step in the "right" direction from the mindless lets-escape-reality-and-run-around-trees-oh-dhikchau-dhikchau genre i. were these efforts at producing something a little more artistic, a bit more thoughtful and something the kathmandu elites could related to (sano sansaar seemed to try and appeal to them anyhow, but i don't know, i've only seen the trailer)?...there was one banned before the 'republic' nepal was birthed about a rebel i think?...anyway, i don't really care if these producers jumped over from music to movies..music videos are so much more enjoyable today than they were a few years ago. i think nepali documentaries are excellent and not all of them are even made by foreigners so there is genuine talent in nepal....for a non expert in the world of media, as long as entertainment is not only mindless but also includes some thought-provocative stuff i'll be happy...and these movies seem to be heading that way.the lame part is when movies are a local rendition (copies of bollywood/hollywood) or a pretentious nod at the kathmandu or nepal that isn't......ki kaso?
