"Kagbeni  is the first Nepali film releasing simultaneously all over Nepal, Darjeeling, Kalimpong, Siliguri, Sikkim, Dehradun, Shimla, Delhi, Calcutta, Mumbai and New York."

Does anybody know when and where in New York is this movie, Kagbeni, being shown in New York?

Sorry Poonte.  I decided to pass on the movie and stay in, with the temperature dipping to 20's... and then there is one small game in TV... some obscure teams who call themselves Giants and Packers.....

So... how was it?

Now about that invite for daal-bhaat...............................

 

Adapted from the Monkey's Paw (the 2nd half was exactly that except instead of using the moors in Northern England, the setting is Kagbeni and the Jomsom area).  Reminded me of the play that was performed in the house concert every other year at school.  Apart from that, movie was acted well (actors are all professional theatre performers in Ktm).  Highlight of the movie: The love scene, that did make all around the hall twitch a lil...Was uncalled for, but justice was done considering that the conservative Nepali film industry is still in its infant stages (superglued to that same caliber for the past 20 years or so).  BTW, besides the main roles, Mohammed Hanif has done a terrific job...Never knew that the bugger could act except for the occasional roles back in the days during the school concerts.  Awesome!! 

It was absolutely pathetic.  The original story itself is probably powerful in its delivery but there was an utter disconnect felt throughout the movie and it failed miserably in translating the effect on screen. In any case, it was my first nepali movie experience in almost 8 years and I guess I was happy to be there.
