There are either 10 rating or 1 rating. I think all 10's were paid to write. I haven't even watched it and I dislike it already.

Very very bad movie.. For me worst Nepali movie I've watched till date..

Why waste a movie(pointless story/script) in such beautiful locations of Nepal...misleading too

This film is terrible and I'm being generous. I'd watched with a Nepalese friend and she thought the same. Wooden acting throughout, laughable fight scenes, horrible cinematography and camera shots, poor editing and a total lack of direction.

Somebody's rich daddy decided to give their offspring some money to keep them busy. The funds would have been better spent sending them to film school to learn how to make an actual film.

Worst among the worst. The over exposed beach shots and all those low key shots were rubbish. I think the cinematographer was an intern guy who was not paid. Good to see few famous actors but why do they even think of acting in such stupid movies. Anna's performance was bad and seemed like she did not know where the story is heading. Worst presentation, Worst performance.

Honestly don't understand what's up with all the great reviews. Are they paid? Ridiculous waste of time. As enjoyable as getting teeth pulled. I should have been paid to watch this movie. Little to no plot. Terrible acting. Nothing "thrilling" about the movie at all. What was the purpose of this nonsense? Simply embarrassing. Too painfully bad. Awful script, amateurish acting, childish artwork.

The plot makes no sense at all... The movie has some high quality shots but is totally ruined by the bad acting and plot. Total waste of time

Locations and its presentation were really good, Cinematography was highly respected, Acting was good, Story needed to be stronger but overall was good

I understand that "The Man from Kathmandu" was highly advertised in it's country of origin but that the audience there was not particularly fond of it. Of course, Nepal is very much about tourism and people there seem to worry that by showing street thugs and corrupt policemen and politicians tourists might be scared of. So let's talk about that first. It' only a movie and its not highly violent or scary, at least not for international standards. I'v been to Nepal two years ago (to Kathmandu and the south of the country) and nothing I've seeen in this movie would stop me from going there again.

I had an entirely different problem. The plot of "The Man from Kathmandu" is highly confusing. I wonder, if the version I've seen might be a shortended International Version (it had a runtime of 91 minutes). Many times you have to guesss who is who or why protagonists are doing this or that. The story is quite incoherent. Technically the film is okay, nothing wrong with camareaworkl lightning, acting etc.

So back to the worries of the Nepalese. I found it quiet nice to see so many locations in the film I've seen myself while being in Nepal. About the street thugs...it's only a movie. And internationally violence standards in movies are very different from Nepal or India. The scene where Anna gets molested by the thugs is hardly recognizable as sexual harassment by International movie standards.

"The man from Kathmandu" was the first Nepalese movie I've ever seen. For that I thought it was very interesting, also for it's locations. But you really need to work on your storylines, guys.

Such a poorly knitted storyline. The violence in the name of religion portrayed in the movie is fake. Please do not disturb the image of this great country Nepal.

This movie requires knowing world situation. Most of the people here seem to be either biased or just simply unaware that the story is uplifting and simple. Here goes. Thousands of people have joined ISIS from over 90 nations in the world and one country where religion is fundamental to living has not seen even a single person join a fruitless war, which is Nepal. Why? Because of the adjusting culture and open minded people. The protagonist who is frustrated in USA because of his faith decides to go and join a war in the middle east he doesn't understand but his roots he had forgotten save him from going to the dark side. He finds purpose in life but the decision to travel during such intolerant times catches up on him and he is trapped to continue his journey by the government. As for the technical aspects, a Nepali film in Nepalese budget standing up to international quality is super. Nepali people here not happy should open their minds. None Nepalese that are lost should expose themselves to what's going on the world. Sorry, have to teach this to these people that don't even have the guts and decency to put their real name. Same people create fake news on social media too because they don't need to face anyone.

A far cry from the boiler plate Nepali movies we have grown accustomed to in recent times, this movie pushes both cinematic and storytelling boundaries. Those accustomed to the usual song and dance sequences may have a harder time connecting with this film, but those of us who follow Hollywood, particularly the indie or action genre, will certainly enjoy this movie. Great action and visuals coupled with a thought provoking plot. Highly recommend!

Action is classic for a Nepali film. Story is bold for world cinema! Can't wait for story to continue and see how the man from kathmandu faces the reality. This part is change and recruitment. Loved the subtle way director made main character transform through relationships, culture, rituals and dirt that is in every society.

Good story, pure action, and has a really good adrenaline, good martial arts. And proud that a puertorican made it and had success in his movie. It's the new Jackie Chan warrior 😉

This movie feels like a classic. Authentic and technically very well executed with awesome action sequences. If you like classic swashbucklers the exotic feel of this movie will keep you wanting more. Hope they get a sequel.
