Jhola Nepali movie
Jhola is a new upcoming Nepali movie which has been scheduled to release on Magh 24 or 7th February 2014.
The movie was based on the well known writer Krishna Dharabasi’s novel called “Jhola”.
In Yadav Bhattarai’s movie “Jhola”, Garima Pant, Sujal Nepal, Deshbhaktha Khanal, Laxmi Giri, Deepak Chhetri and others will be sharing silver screen.
This nepali movie potrays the sorrowful tale depicting the cruel and inhuman practice of Sati which has been abolished decades ago in Nepal.
The movie begins when an old man called Ghanashyam (Sujal Nepal) leaves his bag for a night at the writer’s home. Suspicious, the writer checks the contents of the bag only to find an old manuscript which contains 11 short stories. As Dharabasi starts reading, he is transported to Nepal of the 18th century.
The story is of a young Ghanashyam who lives with his mother Kanchi (Garima Panta) and his ailing father (Desh Bhakta Khanal). After her husband passes away, Kanchi’s life becomes a nightmare.
In that era, wife needs to burn alive with the funeral of her husband. So she turns from a strong-willed and loving mother to a helpless widow.
As she prepares herself for the ceremony and Ghanashyam comes to terms with being orphaned, the anguish of both mother and son becomes palpable on screen. While expertly depicting the pain of the protagonists, director Yadav Kumar Bhattarai also explores the tender relationship between a mother and a son.
