This right here, is my first review. After watching the movie, I couldn't help make an account rate it and leave a review. I dont wanna tell much, If you are a Nepali and Love movies, It cannot get better. A must watch. I am so glad I watched the movie before it was too late. And finally, to all the crew members and actotrs invovled, Huge congratulations and repest for the movie. Especially that little brother who literally stole the show and the hearts I am sure of thousands who watched. This movie has replicated our typical society, its happiness, sorrow, complusions of those who live in those parts of the country and eternal.

A movie about a relationship between a brother and a sister. It's a lovely treat to the eyes because the director is creating the world very near to us. The viewers easily get connected . Specially the age 30-40. Because the story is set in that premise. The props used are so beautiful. Keep a special focus to the radio background. The detailings are so meticulous and so beautifully crafted. Just see the use of "muna" to move the story forward. If you notice the conversation between the mom and her daughter minutely shows her fear that her daughter's fate is slowly changing like her and then focus on the climax where the camera focuses her earrings. This is a lovely approach where viewers are questioned , they need to understand the symbolism of smallest details that director wants us to notice. It's worth watching more than one time because everytime you ll find something new.
Being a story writer I loved the minimalistic approach of dialogue writing where the viewers need to understand the characters expression to understand what's going on. After a long time fully satisfied with the movie and it's theme.
Do watch highly recommended.

To me, this felt like a gift from the director Sujit Bidari. A gift wrapped with the fragrance of nostalgia. As someone who spent a big part of his childhood reading Muna, and wanted his writing to be published in it but failed, i could totally understand how Bidhya felt. A stack of Muna magazine on my bookshelf know how much they've catered to my fondness for writing poems & stories today. This aspect of film made me deeply connect with it, like it was a life i was part of, a life i'll always cherish. The more i think about the film, the more it gets better. Everything about it.
It has a lot to offer, and it never forces any of those things, which was simply enough to portray the rawness it intended. A beautifully written & directed masterpiece where Sujit Bidari brings out the best in his actors, especially the child actors, allowing them to flourish the innocence they beared. From our leading protagonists to the characters who make minute presence on screen, everyone of them played their part so elegantly. I'm super happy that it stood up to the level i anticipated when i first watched it's trailer in awe.

Director Bidari has done an amazing job in conveying the story of two siblings who, although fight with each other, love each other unconditionally, and their mother, who is working hard to send her daughter for further education to a better place.
The story revolves around Bidhya and her younger brother Basanta. Basanta's character is fun and will take back to your childhood. His antics will make you laugh hard, while some moments make you adore him. Bidhya is a excellent student and an aspiring poet, who dreams to pursue further education and later publish her poems in monthly children's magazine (Muna - Very popular child magazine in Nepal before the Internet burst, I'm sure will make you nostalgic). Bidhya's mother fully supports this dream of hers.
The movie also portrays the society of a remote village decades ago. Friendships, picnics, fights, rituals, faces, characters, local movie theater, school, culture, practices, news, music, songs and what not!
This movie has many elements of nostalgia; the one that especially got me nostalgic was the Sankha Dhun of Radio Nepal (it literally used to be our alarm back in those days - every household with a radio used to start their day with this music).
The visual is too good! Most of the shots are amazing. The casting is amazing too (I got to know that most of the cast members were fresh, and some had never even been to a theater!). The child artists are too good and are an absolute delight.
There are many other things that I'd rather you find out on your own! I had fun, although there were some really emotional scenes too. The only problem in this movie is that it ends too fast and leaves us wanting for more.
Aina jhyal ko Putali is a must watch movie. Do go with your sister.
