Gopal Bhutani is dead at the age of 78! He was undergoing treatment for stomach cancer @ Jana Maitri Hospital... Bhutani passed away on Tuesday without a Nepali citizenship even though he was born in Ilam!
Bhutani is our #1 fight-master of Kollywood. The man learned his tricks and tips from a guy from Bhutan while he was struggling in Bollywood. Gopal Tamang became Gopal 'Bhutani'. He came back to Nepal and became the first action director in 1975 with the film 'Jibhan Rekha'.
Our so-called leaders got together few years ago and decided to grant citizenship to 'millions' of Desis across the border! But our beloved Bhutani died without being granted his 'final' wish because he couldn't provide necessary documents rey!
In this day and age, four people can shut down a highway because a chicken couldn't cross the road but our 'Film Development Board' and our artistes couldn't do anything to help Bhutani!
I guess them artistes joining the Maoists and dacing with Prachanda is nothing but another PR stunt! If these artistes were really inspired by Bhutani then they should have closed the Kathmandu ko District Administration Office and kicked the CDO's arse!
This is Nepal. Old or New.. we will always respect the dead, we will cry for them, maybe shed few tears and that's about it! Look at Narayan Gopal. When he was alive, he was just a drunk who sang well. When he died, he became 'Swor Samrat'... aka 'Voice Emperor' or I have no idea what would be the most accurate Angrezi translation for that!
When King Birendra died, thousands of Nepalis shaved their heads and cried and what not! I still remember them 90s when the same thousands were chanting 'Birey Chor, Desh Chod'... Nepali Janta?
Bhutani is no more. But his legacy will live on ... Nepali films ko action -saction sequence have vastly improved! Rajendra Khadgi, the current 'action master' of Kollywood was probably the only person who took care of Bhutani. We should be grateful to Khadgi... but our FDB people should be kicked in the arse for not doing enough for Bhutani!
There will probably be an 'Annual Gopal Bhutani Award' for best fight-master, for best 'fight sequence' and what not .... but why can't our artistes enjoy life while they are alive.. why can't they be respected when they are still breathing and kicking and running?.... Yestai ho!
Our politicians get free medical benefits, they travel to Singapore and Bangkok and God knows where... while our artistes get nothing for their contribution in the field of Arts and what not!
Most of us may not enjoy Nepali Movies... I don't .. well, not the recent 'Bollywood ko 80s ko copy-cats!' but them 70s and 80s were the golden years of Kollywood. Few movies were made but they were pure 'Nepali-pan' ... watch Jeevan Rekha, Kanchi, Saino, Kusume Rumal, Chino and them movies... just rock!
Lau tuh... RIP Gopal Dai... May you teach our Gods few action-saction techniques up there. Let us all drink for Bhutani! At least the heaven above won't ask for necessary papers to prove that he is a citizen of this world!
