A Statement by Purna Bahadur Ko Sarangi Producer Binod Pauel Shakes Industry
“We also bought some tickets. Now buying tickets is also part of the marketing plan!”
— Binod Pauel, Producer of Purna Bahadur Ko Sarangi
While the film Purna Bahadur Ko Sarangi shattered records by earning over 46 crore at the Nepali box office, this candid remark from producer Binod Pauel has raised eyebrows across the film fraternity. The collection numbers, though widely reported and celebrated, are now under scrutiny—with many asking: how much of the income is real, and how much is strategy?
This revelation has sparked conversations about transparency, marketing ethics, and the evolving dynamics of box office success in Nepali cinema.
The Nepali film industry experienced a remarkable resurgence in the year 2081 (Bikram Sambat), with several films achieving unprecedented box office success and captivating audiences nationwide.
Record-Breaking Films
Leading the charge was Purna Bahadur Ko Sarangi, a poignant family drama directed by Saroj Poudel. The film explores the struggles of Purna Bahadur, a father striving to provide a better future for his son through education, despite being abandoned by his wife. This heartfelt narrative resonated deeply with viewers, propelling the film to a record-breaking NPR 468 million in domestic earnings.
Another standout was 12 Gaun, an action-packed film directed by Biraj Bhatt. The movie marked the debut of Samir Bhatt, who delivered a compelling performance as Ajay, a character entangled in a web of crime and redemption. The film’s gripping storyline and high-octane action sequences garnered widespread acclaim, resulting in a domestic gross of NPR 199.2 million.
The comedy genre also saw significant success with Chhakka Panja 5, directed by Deepa Shree Niraula. The film continued the beloved series’ tradition of blending humor with social commentary, achieving a domestic collection of NPR 152 million.
Diverse Genres Captivate Audiences
The year’s success wasn’t confined to a single genre. Boksi Ko Ghar, a psychological social-thriller directed by Sulakshyan Bharati, tackled the sensitive issue of violence against women rooted in superstitions about witchcraft. The film’s thought-provoking narrative and Keki Adhikari’s compelling performance contributed to its domestic earnings of NPR 100.2 million.
Additionally, Anjila, a biographical film directed by Milan Chams, chronicled the life of a renowned football player. The film’s inspiring story and authentic portrayal of the athlete’s journey resonated with audiences, leading to a domestic gross of NPR 75 million.
Emerging Talents and Breakout Performances
This year also marked the rise of new talents in the Nepali film industry. Samir Bhatt’s debut in 12 Gaun positioned him as a promising actor to watch. Similarly, Divya Rayamajhi, daughter of veteran actor Dilip Rayamajhi, garnered attention with her performance, indicating a bright future ahead.
