Jaari

Upendra Subba's directorial debut in JAARI showcases his organic and witty writing style, which flows freely and shines throughout the film. However, the rough patch in the marriage of NAMSANG (played by Dayahang Rai) and Hangma (Miruna Magar) due to infertility is hurriedly portrayed, leaving little room for the audience to connect with the characters and understand their actions. The movie's duration should have been utilized more effectively to delve into this conflict and establish a deeper emotional connection. Despite this, the film's narrative post-conflict is smooth, with flawless characters, and moves forward like the stories of Upendra Subba. The patriarchal violence, though not handled properly, could have been made milder to justify the redemption arc and ensure that the movie does not promote toxic relationships or domestic violence. Two scenes, in particular, stand out- Dayahang's breakdown scene where Miruna consoles him and the climax where Palam shows how far anyone can go for love if its pure. Overall, JAARI is an excellent example of an organic Nepali movie that should not be missed.

The movie "Jaari" can be regarded as a powerful and significant contribution to Nepali cinema. It brings to light prevalent customs in our society, particularly the practice of 'Jaari' in limbu culture.

The story is simple yet impactful, showcasing the challenges faced within traditional marital relationships in rural society. The performances of the lead characters are strong, with great chemistry between DAYAHANG RAI and MERUNA MAGAR, which makes the narrative more vivid. The supporting role by BIJAYA BARAL is noteworthy. Especially, the actress's portrayal effectively highlights the mental and physical struggles women face in society.

The direction is straightforward and clear. The director UPENDRA SUBBA has presented the story well, bringing the emotions of the characters to life. The cinematography beautifully captures the rural setting, adding depth and realism to the story.

The movie's soundtrack also complements the narrative, helping to emotionally engage the audience.

However, the plot slows down in a few places as it goes into more detail, which affects the pacing slightly. Overall, though, the film addresses an important issue in society and compels viewers to reflect on it.

"Jaari" is a must-watch for Nepali cinema enthusiasts.

Just love it. This is what we call movie. The best kinds of movies are the kinds that are so good that a person wants to be there. They want to be flying on a broom playing Quidditch with Harry Potter. They want to be riding a horse and whipping a whip with Indiana Jones. Movies like that are the ones that I love more than any other kind. My love of movies is so strong that it's affected my career choice in the future. My plans are to study film in college and go on to become a director. I've aspired to becoming a director, even from age nine, when I would take my family's video camera into my room and attempt to make movies. They looked really bad, probably because I was using an ironing board to hold the camera because I didn't have a tripod. They were really crude movies, but they were my movies. It was a great feeling knowing I had been able to make something similar to the movies that I love.

Movies are a huge chunk of my life, and they always will be. Without movies, I don't think I would be as creative as I am today. I hope that later down the road, I'll be able to make my own movies that people will love like all the movies that I love.

Just watched this movie in youtube. Simply amazing. Being a Nepali and from Newar community, I was totally unaware about how rich culture Limbu/Subba communty have and how they care about their daughters, daughter in-laws and women as a whole. But after watching the movie I grew great admiration for this community and felt prouder on how diverse our country is. Nice plot, great direction, good performances from principal and supporting cast. Unlike other Nepali movies, very limited dialogue for principal star cast but their body language and expressions speaks volume for them. A different story with organic taste. Simply amazing. Thank you Upendra Subba ji for this movie.
