    reviews fore bahadur

    I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the cinematic masterpiece, "Bahadur the Brave," and I am compelled to share my heartfelt appreciation for this extraordinary film. Rarely do we encounter a movie that not only captivates our senses but also leaves an indelible mark on our hearts, and "Bahadur the Brave" accomplishes this with unparalleled finesse.

    From the outlet scenes to the final credits, the film takes its audience on an exciting adventure thru a captivating narrative, rich with emotion, courage, and the undying subject matter of heroism. The screenplay masterfully weaves together a compelling storyline, seamlessly mixing motion, drama, and moments of poignant reflection. The characters, portrayed with the aid of an notable forged, breathe life into the narrative, every performance leaving an indelible impression.

    One can not assist however be in awe of the breathtaking cinematography that brings the arena of "Bahadur the brave" to shiny lifestyles. The director's eager eye for element and mastery of visual storytelling transports the target audience to a realm wherein every body is a piece of artwork. The film's stunning visuals, coupled with a enchanting musical rating, create an immersive revel in that lingers lengthy after the credits roll. Finally in the end want to say one thing only tha.

    Realistic, well written and engaging

    As someone who has regularly travelled to Nepal since 15 years, trekked with many a 'Bahadur' and narrowly missed being incarcerated on the other side of the border during the pandemic, I found this story very relatable - including the part where 'cross border people' often got demonized as 'disease carriers'. Shah has written a very realistic log of how our bureaucracy behaved at that time and her DOP with the cast have brought the story to life in a very engaging way. This was one of the few movies with stationary wide frames and minimal hooks that kept the audience in rapt attention. Rupesh's rendition of a 'quirky' Hansi is brilliant.

    Best humanity based film ever

    One of the most realistic and must watch film. I just love the way showcase reality in this movie, The comedy, drama & reality which portrait in this film is lajawab. The corona phase is very difficult for everyone but when you showcasing a person who living a life for others family people.

    "Every person needs other person to be part in their life to live a life" it's not always like husband and wife, sometimes friend, relative or caretaker of your house, all persons are equal and you have to treat them, show some love as equal. This film will go that level to think who the person you are. And best part of this movie is The location, craft, writing and of course acting , Hats off to the director diwa and thanks for this incredible film.

    Review For Bahadur

    The film transcends its focus on migrant workers, evolving into a universal narrative of friendship and survival. Shah's directorial approach, characterized by the use of long takes and static shots, contributes to a more realistic and immersive storytelling experience.

    One of the film's standout features is the remarkable performances delivered by the cast. Rupesh Lama, who portrays Hansi, and Rahul Nawach Mukhia, who embodies the character of Bahadur, deliver convincing and impactful performances. Notably, many members of the cast are non-professional actors, further highlighting the authenticity and raw emotion embedded in their portrayals.

    The small moving story, close to heart....

    Many of us have met many 'bahadurs' in India and other places. I have travelled to Nepal, and closely been in touch with their culture for a brief time. This movie made me realise a hidden/different side of daily life and of COVID times of these bahadurs. Thank you Diwa for this spectacle. God bless you! I am going home, to talk to my neighbour guard, Devraj from Nepal .... Thank you for giving me an opportunity to share a smile with him. Cinematography, original sound, scenes of the hills brought out the depth in the story. I wish Diwa all the best for all her future endeavours. Wishing well to Hansi as well.
