Prakash

'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.

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.

Loved the first quarter of the movie but later the pace of the movie was so slowed down. I could literally fall asleep if I didn't watch this in a cinema.

Absolutely loved how they portrayed the language, culture, conditions of the place in the movie but the movie had a lot of scene that was similar and also it almost felt like I was watching 15 minutes of something that could be shown in 1 minute.

Nothing like I regret watching this but i believe this movie is not a movie to be watched in a big screen in my opinion. I would rather wait for it to come out on youtube.

Have to appreciate the cast as they were pretty good.

It is Masterpiece Nepali Movie which have natural acting of all leading actors. The storyline is simple, Connecting and relatable. The location is very beautiful showing untouched rural beauty of Nepal.

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!
