My First Review Of the Nepali Movie " Dying Candle " Hope you'll like it and Please do watch the movie. Thank You!
Review Dying candle. (Nibna layeko diyo)
DYING CANDLE (NIBNA LAYEKO DIYO) IS A REALITY BASED SOCIAL MOVIE WHICH HAVE A COMMON THEME BUT IS PORTRAIT IN A VERY MAGNIFICENT AND ARTSY WAY. IT IS A STRUGGLE BETWEEN ALL THE CHARACTERS SELFISHNESS AND CHOICES BETWEEN MONEY, LOVE AND RELATION.
THE MOVIE TAKES PLACE IN A HOUSE IN RASUWA'S CHITLONG VILLAGE WHERE THE FAMILY OF THE MAIN LEAD CHARACTER CONSIST OF KSHEMI (SRIJANA S***A) ALONG WITH HER SMALL BROTHER TIPKE (LAKPA SINGHI TAMANG) AND AN OLD AGEING MOTHER (BIDHYA KARKI KHUYO) RUNS A PUB AND IS THE ONLY ECONOMICAL SOUCE FOR THE FAMILY FROM WHICH THEY ARE STRUGGLING FOR SIMPLE BASIC NEEDS. (SUCH AS A SIMPLE SLIPPER OR A HAIR CLIP). AS THE STORY UNFOLDS WE GET TO SEE ALL THE MIXED EMOTIONS AND THE SACRIFICES OF THE FATHER FIGUER KSHEMI WHO STRUGGLES TO KEEP THE FAMILY AFLOAT IN THE SOCIETY AND ALSO THE FEELINGS OF THE SMALLEST MEMBER OF THE FAMILY TIPKE WHO DREAMS OF HIS SISTERS HAPPINESS AND ALSO HIS OTHER SISTERS SAPERATION WHICH PLAYS A SENTIMENTAL PART IN THE MOVIE THIS SHOWS THE UNSEEN BOND BETWEEN THE SISTER SANGBO AND TIPKE. ALL THE ACTORS OF THE MOVIE HAS DONE AN EXCEPTIONAL JOB PORTRAYING THEIR CHARACTERS.
THERE ARE OTHER CHARACTERS IN THE MOVIE WHICH TAKES THE MOVIE FORWARD, SUCH IS THE CHARACTER OF JANAK LAL (SAUGAT MALLA) WHO CAN BE CATEGORISED AS A RICH SPOILED DRUNKARD WHO HAS A BIG EGO OF HIS MONEY AND THINKS THE WHOLE WORLD CAN BE RUN BY IT. AS I SAID BEFORE ALL THE CHARACTERS HAVE THEIR OWN SELFISH MOTIVES AND HERE JANAK LAL HAS THE LUST FOR KSHEMI WHICH CAN BE CLEARLY SEEN BY ALL THE CHARACTERS AND THE AUDIENCE.(EXCEPTION TIPKE - ISN’T MATURE ENOUGH TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LUST AND LOVE). MUKUNDA (ARPAN THAPA) IS ANOTHER CHARACTER WHO ENTERS IN THE MOVIE IN THE LATE HALF OF THE FILM. HE IS THE REAL TRUE LOVE OF THE LEAD CHARACTER KSHEMI AND ALSO VISE-VERSA. THE DIRECTOR HAS SHOWN THE CONNECTION BETWEEN KSHEMI AND MUKUNDA’S PURE AND INNOCENT LOVE USING A ROMANTIC NARAYAN GOPALS SONG. (KEHI MITHO BAAT GARA) IN A VERY EFFECTIVE WAY FROM WHICH WE CAN UNDERSTAND THE INVISIBLE HONEST OATH BETWEEN THOSE CHARACTERS. LASTLY TIPKE (LAKPA SINGHI TAMANG) IS AN ORDINARY DREAMER BOY WHO HAS EXTRA-ORDINARY DREAMS PLAYS A VITAL ROLE IN THE STORY FROM THE BEGINNING TILL THE END AND IS A TALENTED BOY.
OVER ALL, DYING CANDLE (NIBNA LAYEKO DIYO) IS A BEAUTIFULLY CRAFTED MOVIE AND IS A MUST WATCH IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN REALISTIC CHARATER BASED CINEMA. THE DIRECTOR MR. NARESH KUMAR KC AND THE TEAM HAS DONE AN EXCEPTIONAL JOB OF EXPRESSING THE SOCIAL AGENDA WHICH HAS BEEN OCCURING FROM THE EDGE OF TIME AND MAY BE TILL DATE IN MANY PARTS IN OUR NATION IN MANY DIFFERENT WAYS, SUCH AS A HIERARCHY HAS BEEN NEGETIVELY AND KNOWINGLY OR UNKNOWINGLY TAKING PART IN DIFFERENT SOCIAL ISSUES AND LIFES OF MANY PEOPLE. THUS, MR. NARESH KUMAR KC HAS BEAUTIFULLY RAISED SO MANY QUESTIONS IN OUR CURRENT NEPALI THINKINGS JUST BY SHOWING A STORY OF A SIMPLE FAMILY WHO FACES SO MANY SOCIAL AND BASIC PROBLEMS AND IS STRUGGLING IN SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS JUST TO GET BY IN LIFE.
IN MY PERSONAL VIEW THIS MOVIE IS THE DEFINATION OF ART AND THREATER COMBINED IN A SMALL SPACE OF TIME CONTANING REALISTIC CHARATERS AND IS A MUST WATCH.
THANK YOU,
