Plot

Accentuated with music and songs in the same way as most Indian films, this drama about a young woman seeking her own way in life is standard fare for the Nepalese cinematic industry. In addition to the songs, the woman's fight against constricting traditions and warped points of view is alleviated by dashes of comedy and the ever-important romantic liaison. Between the love story, the songs, and the comedy, the larger story with a feminist overlay is much more palatable to the intended audiences in Nepal and elsewhere. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide
