It seems finally the Nepali movie industry have learned how to make a good film. This year has been tremendously successful for the Nepali movies and the latest addition to the ladder of this success is Batch No.16. When the teaser was first shown on television, it left the audience confused, if whether it was a real good movie or just nothing but the old crap. But there is no need to wonder now, cause the movie is here and it is as good as the teaser promised it to be.

Directed by Pitamber Pandey,a debutant in this profession has done justice to the story. He may have failed to show his talent in many parts of the movie but overall he has done a wonderful job. Many have high expectations from him in the future and hopefully, we will see more of his work. In the lead role are Arpan Thapa, Pradip Bhardwaj, Purusottam Pradhan and Reenasha Rai. The story is about two childhood friends, Guru and Ram, who end up working in APF’s batch no 16.

Their batch is assigned a mission to catch an international gang of Hakim, who is planning bomb blasts. Ram and Guru succeed in the mission but the story plot takes a turn when the two friends get engaged in a conflict between themselves. One of them wants to kill Hakim and share 10 crore that they have discovered along with Hakim. The story develops further more from there on. To find out who the traitor is, you will have to watch the movie for yourself. But all I can say is, it is a movie worth a watch.

The dialogues are very realistic and the actors have done good with their roles. Arpan has done a fabulous work. He is the major attraction for many and have proved himself as a worthy actor. He may not be an ace but we hope to see a lot more and a lot better from him. He is a keeper and that is for sure. The effort made by the entire team is evident and they all deserve a round of applause.

On the whole, it is a good movie with a simple story. It could have been even more better but for the standard that the usual Nepali movie has, this movie has out done them. Many may not really like the movie because of it’s lack in entertainment factor, but it will be appreciated if they know what many movies of Nepal are like. All in all, a good movie- deserves a watch.
