Pal | Nepali movie picture
Pal is presented by a well-known writer, Karna Shakya. Pal, produced by Uddav Poudel and directed by Ramesh Budhathoki, features Raj Ballav Koirala, Nisha Adhikari, Anup Baral, Dinesh DC, and Tripti Nadakar in the leading roles.
A case in point is the new film Pal, directed by Ramesh Budathoki. The film’s script has been penned by Karna Shakya, a well-known writer whose literary works include Soch and Khoj. Pal appears largely based on Shakya’s Soch. Similar to the book, Pal also tells the story through two contrasting perspectives, and characters in the film are presented in both positive and negative lights. There is a distinct sense of anxiety and scepticism woven into the first half of the film; only in the second half does it allow a more upbeat, retrospective look at events.
“The film deals with ordinary people, which is why we expect audiences to connect to it,” says Budathoki. “The story is based on the socio-economic and political happenings of the country, things people can relate to.” He adds that Pal essentially incorporates a positive message and revolves around the idea that there is always more than one way to look at a situation. Budathoki prefers to classify the film as belonging to the semi-art genre—neither does it embody the ‘masala’ factor of commercial films nor is it sluggish and overly-conceptual like many art films.
According to co-producer Uddhav Poudel, in the forty years that he has worked in the industry, Pal is by far his favourite project. “When I heard the concept of the story from Shakya, I was highly impressed. It is remarkable the way it captures various aspects of an ordinary life,” he says.
One of the main antagonists in the film, Anup Baral, says that despite a relatively short onscreen appearance, his character isn’t lacking in depth. “One can see the arrogance and hatred of a psychotic lover in my character. At the same time, audience will also encounter the positive attributes in him,” he says. Baral adds that Pal is a breath of fresh air both for him and the film industry. The film also stars actors Nisha Adhikari, Tripti Nadkar, Karishma Manandhar, Dhiren Shakya, Raj Ballav Koirala and Mahadev Tripathi.
