Nepali movies are believed to have such a cliched story line. Most of us prefer Hollywood or Bollywood movies over Kollywood. And who would not? Choosing to watch Avengers, Spiderman, Bahubali is always greater than to watch Nepali movies with a low-budget.

Although there is not much of a storyline to the movie, its cinematography of Mustang made us watch it.
