Position of Nepali film industry

1. From the beginning,Nepalese movie industry has been facing serious competition fromIndian movie industry.In comparison with Bollywood in terms of quality,quantity,technical equipments and know-hows,Nepalese movie industry is Goliath.Every time,it is fighting against a DAVID named 'Bollywood'.The outcome is,Nepalese movie makers end up imitating Bollywood movies.


2. According to Uddhav Poudel,producers,Nepali movie market demands 150 movies per year.Five years earlier,the condition of film industry was quite well.It produced 55 movies per year.Now the number has taken a nose dive between 12 and 15.


3. ilmmaking started in Nepal around 1962. The state made three propaganda films between 1964 and 1971 and later formed Royal Nepal Film Corporation (RNFC) in 1974. RNFC made some films, developed some infrastructures and manpower. Even though some of the films made by RNFC became hits, it could not do much to develop the sector.
   

   One film Maitighar was made as early as around 1966. But no other followed it. It took about 16 years for the private sector to come up with another film -- Juni. Unfortunately this proved a failure. Filmmaking was still a risky business and the government regulated it quite strictly.

   
   

   In the 1970s, the government introduced a tax rebate policy. According to it, 50 percent (which was later increased to 65 percent) of entertainment tax would be rebated to the producers. This proved to be a major booster. Investment in film became a little more secure. Also, after 1980s, some relatively more creative films were made and they became successful too. Thus, filmmaking started to appear a little more viable profession and the number of productions increased a bit.

   
   

   In 1990, the country witnessed an important political change. The people's movement brought the autocratic monarchy to its knees and democracy was restored. The society started to become open and vibrant. This had an important consequence for the fledgling film industry: it began to grow rapidly, or even to 'bloat', if one might call it so. There was an unprecedented growth in number of productions. Within a period of three years, some 140 films were made. Distribution started to develop. Market share in the existing market increased and the market itself expanded. Cinema halls increased to more than 300. Nepali filmmakers became optimistic of displacing Hindi films--which dominated and continue to dominate Nepali market.

   
   

   But, towards the end of 1990s, Nepali films began to fare badly. Gradually, the film industry began to experience a very hard time, though productions did not cease altogether.

   
   

   The major reasons for this were that the quantity of films outdid the capacity of the market and also most of the films lacked quality. Also, quite importantly, the violent war, started by the Maoists rebels in 1998, began to crumple the economy and deteriorate the security situation. Most of the cinema halls outside the urban centers had to be closed. The situation worsened after the king took over in 2005.

   
   

   During the 90s, some filmmakers, mostly with non-fiction base, started championing for a new kind of cinema. They denounced the crude imitation of Bollywood esthetics and demanded indigenous esthetics and a more realistic approach. They made some films, which have received some critical acclaim at home and some international recognition.

   
   

   The people's movement - 2 in April 2006, ousted the autocratic monarch for the second and, in all probability, for the last time. Democracy has been restored and the rebels have agreed to join the government and resolve the conflict peacefully.

   
   

   This new political development has stirred Nepali film industry. There is a new hope and optimism. Also lately, there has been a common realization in the industry that the quality of the films needs to be bettered and that Nepali Cinema requires international exposure.

Radio Nepal( memoriable moment)

I have seen many dreams which comes true and which remains in my dreams only. Among them to visit Sigh Durbar was my childhood dream. I used to ask my mother to led me inside. I grew up mwith a hope that oneday I definitely get a chance to visit. In my college days I requested my teacher at least to visit Radio Nepal but due to the lack of time I missed it. Still I have a hope as my field is linked with it. Tuesday Nirmala sir told that tomorrow be ready for the field visit in Radio Nepal I was very happy and eagerly waiting for tomorrow. Wednesday I wake up early and told my friends to get ready quickly. Around 11o'clock we moved from KU in a college bus. Finally when we reached I felt a kind of satisfaction.

At first we were taken to Music studio. All were very excited when we saw musical instrument. Some were now busy to play the instrument and some to take photograph. "Music" is the topic for my assignment so I was taking an information from Tika Vandari. Our Ramchandra is also interested in music. Then we moved to Production studio1. Everyone were eagered to host the programe . Nabila and second year sister run a small and interesting program too. In the library we got a chance to meet a popular singer Meera Rana. Even there we wanted photograph and autograph with her no one wanted to missed an oppurnity. All the movies are keept savely.the most interesting thing for me was Rj running a programe. He has his own room no one is there and running with cheerful smile. While I was seeing the programe I was imaging myshelf. Now, I want to work in radio by being Rj. We were taken to an observation room too.
Radio Nepal was established on 1st April 1951. Initially, the transmission covered duration of 4 hours and 30 minutes through a 250 Watt SW transmitter. Over the years, Radio Nepal has strengthened its institutional capacity considerably and diversified itself in terms of programme format, technical efficiency and coverage. Radio Nepal airs programmes on Short Wave, Medium Wave and FM frequencies.
Radio broadcasting is the cheapest and quickest means of mass communications in Nepal. In a mountainous country like Nepal, radio broadcasting has proved to be a very effective medium for disseminating information, educating people and entertaining the masses. Radio Nepal recognizes that its primary obligation is to serve its listeners. It has been providing various programs aimed at creating mass awareness in its attempt to reflect the views of all sections of the society. The people in the hilly areas and many of the remote villages have little or no access to motorable roads nor to any communication and entertainment facilities. Illiteracy being a common feature among the people, little use is made of the newspapers, which have very limited and delayed circulation. Therefore, Radio has been the most suitable means of disseminating information and providing entertainment to masses in Nepal.
Thus, I get a chance to visit Radio Nepal but Sigh Durbar I can see only. No matter in future I will get a chance too.

Wall Climbing

dynamiteIt was early morning I was sleeping and I got call from my brother. He said "hey are you still sleeping? be ready for wall climbing". I was very happy. Last time on April I wanted to go for it but I could not. This time I got chance to go. So, I woke up in a hurry and went for wall climbing on Pashang Lahmu. I was very excited to climb. When I saw the place where I had to climb I was very nervous. I saw so many people who were already there and climbing it made my heart skip a beat and I almost decided to give up. But my brothers encouraged me at least I should try and can have good experience. I took long breath and was ready to climb. Slowly I wore my shoes which was comfortable. First I tried in the easy one, I did it, that added my confidence. Then I was ready to climb in 9th and 10th. But I thought still I wasnot ready to climb. Marina, who had also tried it for 3 times though she was failed. My elder brother and junoir both accomlished just in first attempt. Now, there was no option for me. So, I stand and and be ready to climb. I was climbing fastly so my brother said don't do in hurry,firstly decide where you are going to keep your legs and hand? By following him I was climbing and I almost did it too but because of my nail it was giving problem. Not only that but I was so tired I was unable to hold on the wall I leave my hand from the wall and declared that I couldnot do it any more but my brother wished I can do don't be hopeless if you couldnot do in first attempt it will be difficult in next attempt. I thought it was true as Marina also accepted if she had tried in her first attempt she can reached at the top. By taking rest on the wall for few minute I was climbing. At last i did it. I was so happy that I can' express. When I reached at the top I glanced from there where I could saw everything tiny. I love bulging jumping too so my brother said leave the rope and feel like it. When i was doing rest I feel very proud and thought I was so happy when I climbed wall then the person who climbed MountEverest obviously feel proud. With tiredness I returned with my brothers.

It was yesterday 9th May when I climbed wall for the first time. I got chance to have a good experience. I told my friends to go too. Life must be full of adventures. We Nepalese are different from foreigners couldnot manage time for adventures. But we can go for wall climbing like tourists ultimately it helps in economic sector too.

ChanguNarayan

ChanguNarayan is situated in Bhaktapur district, 4.8km from the headquater and 21km from Kathmandu. There is a story related with Changunarayan. Many years ago there was a brahmin and Gopal. Gopal had to take the milk for brahmin everyday. Time and again brahmin was unable to brought the milk for brahmin because all the milk was drank by a small little boy. Oneday he want to brahmin's home with empty hand and told all the story.After hearing the story the brahmin hid behind the tree and saw a little black boy came and drank all the milk from the cow. After that he killed that boy. As soon as he killled him blood came from the tree and he saw the lord Bishnu. When he saw lord Bishnu he was very scared but lord Bishnu said no need to worry because many years ago that brahmin's father was killed by his hand now he was freed from the sin. According to him now the dynasty of that brahmin would have to worship everyday even though if any family members die.

At present, Chackra Dharananda Rajopadhya is handling it .This impressive double roofed temple is said to be the most ancient Vishnu temple in the Kathmandu Valley. The original temple was built around the 4th century. The present pagoda-style temple was rebuilt in 1702 after it was destroyed by fire. It is located in a beautiful peaceful location, 4km north of Bhaktapur, on a hill top in the east side of the Valley. From the temple there are good views of the valley in three directions. The original 5th century stone deity of Lord Vishnu is said to be in the sanctum, but only the priest can see the deity.
The temple can easily be reached by taxi or bus, or it is an interesting walk from Bhaktapur or Nagarkot.

The temple is dedicated to Narayan, who is an incarnation (expansion) of Lord Vishnu. It has many old outstanding stone, wood, and metal carvings dating from the Lichhavai period. On the intricately carved painted roof struts of the temple are intricate carvings of the ten incarnations of Vishnu and goddesses.

A life size 5th century statue of Garuda, the carrier of Lord Vishnu kneels with his hands folded before the temple. Besides Garuda is one of the oldest Licchavi stone inscriptions. In front of the temple here is a statue of kneeling King Bhupatindra Malla and his queen.

There is a sixth century stone statue of Vishnu Viswarup, the universal form of Lord Vishnu that Lord Krishna showed Arjuna while speaking the Bhagavad Gita. On the Lakshmi Narayan Temple there is an 8th century statue of six-armed Trivikratha (Lord Vamana), and next to it is a statue of Lord Narasimha, the man-lion incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Behind the last two statues is a little black slab that has an image of Narayan lying on the traditional serpent Ananta and above it Lord Vishnu with 10 arms and heads. In the northwest corner of the courtyard is a sculpture of Lord Vishnu riding on Garuda, which is on the Rs 10 Nepali banknote. Above the main door is Lord Vishnu holding his four symbols.

The beautifully gilded door is guarded by stone lions of it and has intricate gilded windows on either side. On four pillars in the four corners are the symbols representing Lord Vishnu: the chakra (disc) and conch shell, the lotus (padma), and club (gada).

Pappu maru Jhanga

"Pappu maru jhanga" is a newari film directed by Sabin Shakya. This film is very interesting and heart touching. The main character of this film is Sabin himself. The main theme of this film is how high class people or rich man dominate low class people or poor people. People(poor people) dedicate their life to serve them. The master keep their servent until their servent can serve them.When they think that they arenot no more use then they try to kick them from their home. In a sameway in rhis film also same story takes place. Before keeping in job the master keept a bet that if his servant say he doesn't want to do his job then the master will cut his (servant) nose. The servant does his work honestly but all the members exploit him badly.The cruel situation of poor people is shown very effectively. At last it is it is untolerable,

he trys to escape from the home.But he is catch by the master's sons. According to the bet now his nose is cut.

Thus, after the climax, resolution takes place. "To be poor is the curse is shown". This is only film but saying that films are base on real life is suitable in this movie. This is still practising in rural area of our country. People are obligation to live under their masters. They don't have their own life.

Conserve Our Nuwakot

I usually think about Nuwakot. It is the place where Prithvi Narayan Shah was defected for 3 times. i was very excited to visit the place. I made various pictures about it in my mind.so as far as possible i wanted to reach quickly. Well, after a journey of 2 hours i reached there. I reached "Nuwakot Durbar" at first whiich is in a poor condition.

It was thatDurbar which i really used to appreciate but it was not as i expected. I talked with the priest-Hariman Singh about the temple which is situated near the "Nuwakot Durbar". According to him "Nhuti Purnima" is the main festival which is celebrated with is celebrated with great effort. But the fact from when and whose period it was celedrated is still unknown. In "Baishak purnima" along "Nhuti Purnima", "Ghoday Jatra" and "Sindur Jatra" are also celebrated. That reflects our culture. Suddenly the priest turns my happiness into agony when he revealed that to celebrated those festivals there isnot sufficient amount. governments donot pay anyattention towards it. It is the part of our culture then why are they behaving in different manner? after the conversation i saw "White Paati" which is in situated besided the temple which is in a very seriously state. As i got the information from the priest it was reconstructed during the time of ShivaSingh and NarSingh. Now, it's the duty of Archelogy department but they don't care.

The "Bell"which is located just in front of the "White Paati" broke my heart. The "bell" has lost it's part through it is not repaired. White i saw all these things i felt very bad. Myhappiness turned into agony. why are we not preserving our ancient monuments? It's whose duty to conserve them? Through my article i want people to think about it as they are our culture that reflects us and our society.

State of Recording Industry in Nepal

The dawn of modern Nepali music came in 1952, the year after the fall of the Ranas, when Radio Nepal was established; only a year later, Dharma Raj Thapa made recording history, selling 3000 copies of a novelty song about the conquest of Everest by Hillary and Tenjing Norgay Sherpa. A home grown recording industry took root under king Mahendra(19 5-72) himself something of a patron of the arts and with it came Nepal’s first wave of recording stars.
There are 60-70 registered recording studios in Nepal but only 20 of them are running. These studios not only records songs but also compose and arrange music for the singers. The recording studios also make add jingles, dubs film dialogue etc. most of the recording studios are run by the music composers. Talking about profit in this industry the studio owner’s life can be spent normally but the living standard cannot be raised by running a recording studio.
There is only one governmental recordind studio in Nepal i.e. Radio Nepal. Because of high chances of success in this field most of the recording studio are run solely and in context of Nepal all of the recording studios are sole business. Due to the advancement in technology in the present world recording has not been a tuff stuff. For example people had to gather in a single room of studio including singers and musicians and all had to play and sing in a balance which was very difficult and time eating task, but today the recording job has become very easy and fast even.
But again when we asked the owner of one of the finest recording studios of Nepal we came to learn that Nepal does not have any instrument required of its own. All the instrument and machinery products required are being imported from abroad which comes to be very expensive and people running the recording studios buy the duplicate product because they are far cheaper which in result gives low quality output. And it’s the main reason Nepal not being able to compete with other countries. Comparatively to India, Nepal is far back in both technology and quality. Therefore the quantitatively the state of recording industry is in a rise but qualitatively Nepal is still in grass root level.
Music Nepal is pioneering Music Company of Nepal. Registered as private limited company with capital of rs.200000 under industry act of government of Nepal in 1982. Music Nepal has over last twenty five years grown to be the largest music recording and publishing company of the country equipped with state of the art and technology in recording and duplication and capable of providing a one stop solution for all audio and video needs. From which it can be learnt that Nepal’s recording industrialists too has an international platform.

Working Journalist ACT- 2064

The fact that society is influenced by economic factors while economic processes are largely determined by the social environments clearly proves that the relation between sociology and economics is very intimate. Economics is defined as a study of ordinary business of life or to be more exact it’s the science of wealth in its three phases of production, distribution and consumption. It is thus concerned with the part of individual and social action which is most closely connected with the attainment and with use of material requisites of well being. Economics in other words is concerned with material welfare for the human beings.
The working journalist act was made by King Birendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev during his 23rd ruling period in order to provide right and facilities and to the working journalists. On august 2007 the amended bill on the working journalist act was passed by the parliament. The 1995 act has been widely criticized by the professional cricitics for being biased in favor of the owners of the media. According to the newly enacted bill media houses will not be allowed to keep more than 15% of the working journalists on contract basis that must be entitled to provident fund and other facilities being given to parliament journalists. Likewise media houses will have to cover the media treatment and provide compensation to working journalists in case of accident while on duty. A 13 member committee will be formed to determine minimum salary of working journalists. There are provisions in the bill that require media houses to spend a minimum of 1% of their annual income for capacity building activities of the journalists. It is also said that if media houses failing to follow these provisions will be deprived of government advertisement and may even face ban on imports from abroad.
Working journalists’ act 2051 was amended in 2062. According to the amendment the person like news reader, program director, translator, editor of language, presenter is also included inthi8s act as journalist. After providing job reporter should be informed in press registration. The weakness for not being able to implement this act goes to government, publication institute and working journalist themselves. Journalist used to work before getting the offer letter. In order to implement this act press council used to give pressure but it is fruitless.

America, dreamland...a way to Hell.

America is the dream land of every person. This saying is especially suitable in the context of Nepalese people. Krishnaman, who is 24, married his classmate Sushila - a love marriage. According to her husband's advice, she had filled DV. Luckily, she got it too. Krishnaman frequently goes to cyber-cafes for chatting. Initally his wife used to come, but it didn't continue for long. He used to return home in grief. Now it is almost 3 years and she even refuses to return her home. According to her, they have spent only 5 months together.
Another true story is about Maya who also got the DV. She returned Nepal after 4 years. Before going to the USA, she was engaged. Now she too doesn't care much about that.


When people talk about America they seem to be very happy.If they got chance to go then that moment will be the happiest moment. But i don't think that America can give happiness to people if we consider the above two examples. People are so crazy about America that they don't give any importance to other thing which is not at all fair.

I'm very surprised with those people who break up their relation after going to America. It may not be true but i think people change with time and situations.
