The movie "Pashupati Prasad" was written by Dipendra K. Khanal who did good effort to present the sorrowful happening due to massive earthquake. It is a social satirical movie in which Khagendra Lamichhane and Barsha Shiwakoti have the leading role. The film features struggle of poor people to pay off the debt. It also shows the pains and sufferings of poor people of Nepali people who live in the mountainous region.

 

The movie has wonderfully shown the struggle done by Pashupati Prasad. He is the man who inherits his parents' debts after they die in the earthquake. He is determined to repay the debts so he has moved to Kathmandu. The question asked by people after watching the movie is "Why would god let him die so pitifully?" When Pashupati (Khagendra Lamichhane) loss his family and house of Sindhupalchowk due to massive earthquake of Baisakh 12, 2072. Then he has moved to Kathmandu. The poverty really strangles him from that disaster. He needs to pay fifty thousand loans of his father (who lost his life in the quake) to the owner. He stays with 'Mit Buwa' who uses to criminate the death body in Pashupatinath then assemble the coin Bagmati river and search gold. Bhasme (Bipin Karki) wish to stopover the work of Pashupati and clash arises. He fell in love with Bunu (Barsha Shivakoti), Pashupati prasad found a gold ring in the river, he went to sell it but the jeweller tricked and killed him.

 

The overall story is really emotional and sad. This movie reflected the struggles in your life. The man fights as much as he can to earn a little money but, he failed. What a beautiful cinematography it is! I think artist and their acting with spectacular tones touch the heart of everyone in the cinema hall. Khagendra's natural performance and his role are mesmerizing. This is a very nice movie which reveals the pain of poor people like Pashupati Prasad. I suggest all to watch this movie.
