'Chor Sipahi' Running To Full Houses

Sovit Basnet's movie 'Chor Sipahi' is running to full houses in theatres outside the valley. He opines that this is the first time in the history of Nepali Films that a movie is being shown at 20 theatres simultaneously. "Altogether, we released out seven prints and distributed it to various theatres. Besides this, 13 other theatres are showing the movie on LCD projectors. Previously, the trend was to release out just six prints. The reason for going ahead with my idea is because people in general would be able to watch the movie at the same time and financial logistics can be handled much better without waiting for a long time. This is also the beginning of an “all Nepal release concept”, which is going to help the industry in the long run." shares Sovit.

'Chor Sipahi' is made at a budget of 40 lakhs and the actors in this movie are Bhuwan KC, Ramit Dhungana, Bijaya Lama, Nikhil Upreti, Rejina Upreti and Sanchita Luitel. This movie revolves around a deaf, a blind and physically handicapped men, and the way they fool the world. The flick is said to be comedy based and full of action and entertainment.

So far this movie has not hit the theatres in Kathmandu. However, according to Sovit, 'Chor Sipahi' will be released in the valley within two months. He says, "The movie has been really well received, loved and enjoyed by moviegoers. I am sure that viewers from Kathmandu will also like it since this can be categorized as a paisawasul movie." emphasizes Sovit.
