A friend in need is friend indeed. Saathi, starring Rajesh Hamal and Karishma in lead roles justifies the above saying. With some of the melodious songs and out and out comedy scenes, Saathi is one fine joy ride Nepali commercial cinema.

Apart from ensemble of cast, a Dog plays a pivotal role in the movie, who finally becomes the Saathi.
For a change, a Nepali film’s premiere at the QFX Cinema Hall had a different line of audiences.
A majority of people who turned up for the premiere of the much talked flick Batch No 16 were not those who are often spotted at turnstiles.
Directed by Pitamber Pandey and produced by Bikrant Shrestha and Surendra Poudel, the flick had drawn an unbelievably huge turn out.
Any little digression from the stereotype is worth appreciating. But filmmakers should not take this liberty to take things for granted.
It’s high time for Nepali filmmakers to realize that cinematography alone can’t make up for the missing elements.Batch No. 16 has good cinematography. But the plot is a mess.
The movie starts with two Armed Police Force (APF) personnel – Ram Karki (Suman Singh) and Guru (Arpan Thapa) rescuing a kidnapped businessman.

The movie starts with two Armed Police Force (APF) personnel – Ram Karki (Suman Singh) and Guru (Arpan Thapa) rescuing a kidnapped businessman.
Soon, their commander-in-chief gives them a new mission — to eradicate crime by bringing the most WANTED criminals in the country to justice.
The first gangster they look out for is actor Anup Baral, who apparently is a Mexican don in Nepal.
But the gangster speaks nothing that sounds Mexican and is rather fluent in Nepali! Everything goes hunky-dory until the lure of the lucre takes a toll on the friendship of two cops.
While the dedicated officer Ram decides to handcuff the baddie and hand him over to the authorities, his friend Guru proposes to kill him and share ransom money. Guru shoots the gangster to death.
This battle of morals leads to two friends to become big time enemies.
Suddenly, the film that says is based on the lifestyle of APFs loses grip on its plot.
By the time the movie comes to end, I was left with too many unanswered questions. Where did all other dons that were to be nabbed disappear? Suman Singh as APF says police officers should not accept bribe and should live for morals.
But he owns a luxurious apartment. Why do they have to keep on speaking in English when they would be far comfortable speaking Nepali.
Most of the dialogues delivered by Suman Singh are dubbed in the voice of media person and actor Dinesh DC.
Why did Singh refrain from pitching his dialogues? What point was the director trying to make by making the audiences read the signboard that says “Badhrakali Mandir Parisar” and beginning a fight sequence at a location that has nothing to do with the plot.
Even the dialogues aren’t taken care of. Newcomer actress Sushma Karki who plays a negative role in the movie and is a journalist says “It’s impossible for a journalist to afford a maid”. She surprisingly owns a car. And for performance, Karki compensates for everything by flaunting her bare skin.
And Yes, the kissing scene between actors Arpan Thapa and Sushma Karki was so not needed.
The soundtracks of the movie composed by Sugam Pokharel, Bikrant Shrestha and Kichhaman Chitrakar need special mention. Almost all the songs are pleasing to listen to.
Arpan Thapa steals the show with his strong performance. He is good with expressions, dialogue delivery, and poise and has the right attitude for his negative role.
Even actor Suman Singh and Ruby Bhattarai sashay the role with élan.
Sadly, actor Anup Baral, who also is the casting director of the film, disappoints.
All in all, director Pitamber Pandey, who is known best as an assistant director of one of the most acclaimed Bollywood movie Life In a Metro, should have at least took some inspirations from the movie, when it comes to executing the film in a right manner.

If you ask Shree Krishna Shrestha his age then he would promptly say he is 23 even after spending his precious 23 years in the Nepalese film industry.This actor, who was back some months back with his home product Kahan Bhetiyela, is currently enjoying its success.

Let me give you an example, the record my previous movie Afno Manchhe created in Narayanghat is still unbroken and I feel that I have to improve my acting skill than my previous films so that my other movies can reach that level. But yes, I have always tried to reach the height that my seniors like Shiva dai, Bhuwan dai and Rajesh dai have achieved.If you were not an actor what would you be?I would have joined the Nepalese army.If you were to be born as an animal then what would you like to be?Pigeon, because it is a symbol of peace and it is loved by all.Your lucky days?Tuesday and Thursday.Dou you believe in god?Yes. I have a great faith in god.How would you define yourself?A loving person who cannot see others in pain and who lives for others.By Prasun Timilsinatundikhel:दंग श्रीकृष्णनिर्माणको फस्र्ट ओपनिङ्मा नै सफल भए नायक श्रीकृष्ण श्रेष्ठ । उनी निर्मित चलचित्र कहाँ भेटिएलाले प्रारम्भिक रूपमा व्यापारकि सफलता हात पारेपछि प्रदर्शक र वितरकले उनलाई सफल निर्माताको बिल्ला भिराइदिइसकेका छन् । नायकका रूपमा अफर न्यून हुँदै जाँदा निर्माता बन्ने उनको निर्णय सफल भएपछि उनी पनि अचेल कम्ता दंग छैनन् ।निर्माता बनेर धेरै नायक-नायिकाले असफलता बेहोरेका छन् । करश्िमा मानन्धर, निखिल उप्रेती, सज्जा मैनाली, जोनी कुँवर, दिनेश शर्मा यस पंक्तिमा अगाडि थिए । तर, श्रीकृष्णले सफल पाटो मात्र देखे । भुवन केसी र मौसमी मल्लका चलचित्रले पाएको सफलताले पनि उनी आशावादी थिए । विश्वज्योति हलका प्रोप्राइटर मोहन सर्राफ भन्छन्, "कहाँ भेटिएलाले दुइटा थप चलचित्र निर्माण गर्ने कमाइ गर्यो ।" (source - Nepal weekly)
