Watching a film is like watching theater on the screen
It is an efficient and great combination of culture, emotions, values and the difficulties of life of people living in the mountains.
It is not a film, it is a phenomenal reality
While watching the film, everyone will get lost in the impressive graphics and story.
The Dolpo culture where stories of single women marrying multiple husbands, the cremation process, the monastic culture, the cross-border trading culture etc
are narrated by the director with such attention to detail that anyone will fall in love with Min Bahadur Bham’s work, who has already proved his mettle in the film ‘Kalo Pothi’ (Black Hen).
