12 Gaun

The story of 12 Gaun had some potential at the beginning, but everything else felt like a disaster. The editing was all over the place, the background music didn't fit the scenes, and the screenplay was so clunky it made the whole movie hard to follow. Honestly, I wanted to walk out after just 15 minutes.

This movie was supposed to launch a new star, but most of the screen time was hogged by his father, Biraj Bhatta. It felt like he initially wanted to put his son in the spotlight but changed his mind halfway through the shoot. The result? A confusing mix where neither the son nor the movie shines.

We keep hearing, "Nepali movies lai support garnu parcha," but come on-there has to be a minimum standard. If the basics aren't done right, it's frustrating to sit through. Supporting the industry doesn't mean blindly accepting poorly made films. We need better effort and quality if we want people to stay invested in Nepali movies.
