Jaari

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.

Jaari movies carries cultural reflection of eastern Nepali community with time reference of couples of decade ago. The movie is simple but beautiful. Most strong aspect of this movie is acting. Dayahang rai and Miruna Nagar nail the lead roles. Supporting characters also talented. Most of scenes look natural. Overall it is a well made movie. Able to reflect life of rural mountains of Nepal. Movie also has some humour scenes in between.

One thing to note is this film is not a mass entertainer genre. Movie does gets slow at some point. But overall experience is good. And well thought climax as well.

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.

I missed the movie in the theatre but i watched it on youtube now and iam shocked to watch a such brilliant nepali movie We all must appreciate the film makers to show us a beautiful ritual through this movie that is in the phase of extinction A praiseworthy Nepali Movie. We all must appreciate the hardwork that the makers have shown in the presentation. The length/runtime of the movie could have been shortened by cutting few scenes those scenes wouldn't had impacted the storyline of the movie . But still ignoring the few things , the whole movie was engaging and impactful. The bgm of the movie would have been done better to create better impact on the whole movie.
