Ram Babu Gurung- A new perspective to the jarring Nepali Cinema

Just when the audiences were vexed with the repetitive and jarring movies a new director, Ram Babu Gurung, came into the nepali movie scenario with his new movie- “Kabbadi”. The trailer of this Rom-Com flick instantly caught the eyes of several with its catchy one liners like ”Mann pareko jutta po jutta natra khali khuttai thik cha”, “Kata Ho Soltini Chittika Parera, batai bato dekhenau” etc. The trailer infested with a newly designed love saga premise with the comedy at its disposal was sure to make it big in theatres. As anticipated from the trailer, the movie also kept up its reputation and was quite funny and enjoyable to watch. A village premise, a rebellious protagonist, his fellow sidekicks with a funny idiolect, his love interest, his restricting parents, an antagonist to make his tasks even more daunting, clash, conflict resolution and the end, that's the basic premise of this movie. This is a good thing but the main problem is this occurs in every other Ram Babu movie ever. Almost all the movies made by Ram Babu Gurung is a stereotypical portrayal of the same village scenario and the same characters. Where the stock characters are very much prominent in the premise.
