Prakash

Went to theatre with high expectations!

But it was so boring! Story progression was so slow that I could write the whole story in one sentence!

In fact, actors performed very well ! But script, screenplay and progression was very disappointing!

It's good that someone put all those efforts on portraying post civil war condition in rural area! But this movie lacks the ability to maintain viewer's attention and interest throughout the movie.

And again, THE ENDING , made everyone in theatre say "hyaa yesto ending! Sakyo? " Type

Anyways , we need to support Nepalese movie industry! Hope we get to entertain new and better Nepali movies in future!

PRAKASH 🙌 With the pure essence of JUMLA,NEPAL.

Like I am physically alive there and know those people.

Impact of 10 years maoist insurgencies within Nepal itself.

A story of Mother & Son longing for the return of her husband & his father.

Portrays the life of working class family of rural Nepal where they struggle to fulfill their basic needs. Discrimination & untouchablity which is still rooted.

Although movie is named PRAKASH (LIGHT) itself an irony because protagonist always have to deal with darkness (culprits, dirty politics, grief- especially climax)

Each an every cast have give perfect justification to their character without any doubt.

Why I gave 10/10 rating?

A perfect Nepali Movie. 🎥🇳🇵🙏 A movie which can move the whole generation & every Nepali should cherish this movie.

Prakash is an authentic nepali movie with beautiful script. Shot in jumla with beautiful landscape & local dialect it presents the story of Nepali society. Movie beautifully captures the emotion of a poor man trying to uplift his life by enrolling in Nepal government teacher. It has various facets of nepalese society - poverty, caste based discrimination, maoist insurgency, pain of disappeared ones during the insurgency, political corruption & dominance. Pradeep Khadka has done a wonderful job along with Diya Maskey. Supporting actors are also awesome. At times, the movie becomes slow and monotonous but this happens with all art movies with social drama. I liked the movie and we need more movies like this. Well done!!

Surprisingly exceptional movie. Great direction and cinematography, superb storytelling. It reflects the reality of Nepalese society on different subjects like caste system, social and religious indifferences, political system and much more. The cinematography has portrayed the remote areas, houses and cultures so well. I have never been to Jumla but i felt like i was there when i was watching

The cast are amazing, surprisingly. The cast of the movie had given justice to the role they have portrayed. The main character has surprised me mostly because he has broken the his own stereotype and pushed his limits. The supporting actors are always my favorite.

Its a reality check and must watch movie for Nepali movie lovers. An emotional masterpiece. I highly recommend this movie to watch for movie lovers.

'Prakash' is a story of a young man in mid western rural village of Nepal who aspires to become a teacher. He is raised by his mother with unrivaled hardship after his father is lost in the 'people's war' during the era of maoist insurgency.

The struggle of Prakash chasing his dream supported by his mother's sacrifice is presented realistically. This story depicts the picture of a contemporary Nepali society. How honest and hard working citizens are deprived of their fundamental rights due to the greed and hatred of the so called rulers and manipulators . It also touches upon bias created by cast system which has been deeply rooted in Nepali society from hundreds of years. The story also reveals the struggle between haves and have nots.

"Prakash" is different from contemporary Nepali movies. Any Nepali who is from lower middle class and struggling to create a separate space and identity can relate to the story and the main characters of this movie with their daily lives. The story is told simply and in a beautiful manner. This movie will be placed at the highest level for some time to come.
