Film Development Board Releases Box Office Figures for Nepali Movies Through Saturday, Falgun 2

Kathmandu. The Film Development Board has made public the commercial details of Nepali films currently screening in theaters. The 'Cinema 2 Box Office' under the Board today released the transaction details up to Saturday, Falgun 2, for the Nepali films being screened.

The movie 'Aa Bata Aama', which began screening on Magh 16, has earned NPR 8 crore 31 lakh 87 thousand 789. A total of 310,323 tickets were sold for the film, which addresses the theme of national change alongside entertainment. Actor Paul Shah stated that the story of this film is connected to the lives of most Nepalis.

He said, "I cannot reveal much about my role as it risks exposing the story. However, I got the opportunity to play the role I desired in the film, so I worked as hard as I could. The story of this film is about our family and village society. I believe that the audience who goes to watch the film will recommend it to others."

The film stars actors Paul Shah, Bipana Thapa, Pradeep Rawat, Usha Upreti, Simran Pant, Saigrace Pokharel, Gajit Bisht, Begam Nepali, and others. Directed by Chandra Pant, the film features dialogue writing by Abhimanyu Nirabi, choreography by Gambhir Bista, and music composition by Koshish Chhetri, Babul Giri, and Thaneshwor Gautam.

The movie 'Kumari', which started screening on Magh 23, has earned NPR 56 lakh 211. A total of 17,025 tickets were sold for the film directed by Dinesh Raut. The film, starring Abhishek Khadka and Aakritiraj Bhandari, among others, failed to achieve expected business. The impact of not receiving positive audience reviews for the film, described as a love story of the Gen Z generation, seems to have affected its business.

The movie 'Ramita Ko Pirti', which also began screening on Magh 23, has earned NPR 19 lakh 43 thousand 588. A total of 5,937 tickets were sold for the film directed by Sudipta Adhikari.

Although the film, starring Anna Sharma, Dhiraj Magar, Binay Shrestha, Samir Shrestha, and others, received positive audience reviews, it could not perform well commercially. The business for both films released on Magh 23 has been very low.

The Film Development Board has been publishing the commercial details of domestic and foreign films screened in Nepal every Monday for the past few months.
