Pashupati Prasad

The final sequence without any dialogue kept me speechless. The credits started to roll and I was there sitting totally heart-broken. It kept me thinking. Is our life as meaningless as of him? I wonder how people would react to this.

The sheer beauty of this film is, it portrays the reality of our life. A person need not have a very great aim but a simple one is enough to keep their life moving. Having someone to call a family, a friend to spend time with, a person to fall in love and a general vision of what to do with life, are some simple things that motivate us to keep going.

Pashupati Prasad never accepted defeat. He considered his family family although he got cheated. He loved a mother as a son although he was not born to her. However betrayed and helpless he felt, he did not back away. He may not be satisfied with his life but he was living it. Simple thing it may be, but the movie shows this thing very beautifully and made us connected to the character.

However, tragedy is always lurking around the corner ready to make use of any chance it gets. Things are left incomplete. Life ends meaningless. This is reality. The sooner we realize this, the better person we may become. The film portrays these things very well setting an example of Pashupatinath area, symbolizing 'all men must die'.

"Pashupati Prasad" can be considered one of the best movies in the history of Nepali cinema. My rating - 8/10
