Melodious Skills 11 May, Nepal Academy Hall People were getting impatient that the concert had not yet started. When it did though, it was clear why Anil Shahi is called the Sultan of Strings. Absolutely more than expected is what describes Anil Shahi’s concert. But again you could also say incredible, house full, ecstatic and majestic on how the man of the evening was performing with his guitar. The euphoric music kept the audience glued to their seats. Shahi’s yearning of performing among the Nepali audience in Nepal itself was fulfilled during the two-hour musical retreat. The enthusiasm among the audience was clear from the ceaseless applauds and roars. With eight equally talented musicians – Shyam Nepali on Sarangi, Binay Maharjan on Bansuri, Gaurav Basnet on Bass Guitar, Sandip Karki on saxophone, Hawan Singh on tambourine, Bishow Nepali on djembe, Abhijit Shahi on Cajon and Dilip Kipu on Tabala – Shahi performed many national, international tunes including Arabic, flamenco, jazz, Spanish and fusion. Shahi sang a few classic Nepali songs, transporting the audience to a different musical era altogether. 1. Bishwo Nepali 2. Babita Shrestha 3. Binay Maharjan 4. Hawan Singh 5. Gaurav Basnet 6.

5 The God of Carnage 3 May, Hotel Vajra Originally written by Yasmine Reza and later adapted by Sabine Lehmann, the play ‘The God of Carnage’ consists a great list of performing actors and an even greater ambience in this satire-intended comic play. It will plug you to self realization about the inside story of a so-called modern, middle-class working family. The play relates to how the parents of Robin and Sonny try to resolve the children’s squabbles. As the plot unfolds, it unveils the underbelly of an urban family. Parents of the victim, Shanti Upadhyaya Bajracharya (Samuna KC) and Rajan Bajracharya (Karma) try to talk things out with Binod Kumar Upreti (Subash Thapa) and Anita Shrestha Upreti (Jharana Bajracharya), the culprit’s parents. Hotel Vajra’s Naga Theater was seen no less than a high-end contemporarytemporary apartment, set up ornately to portray how today’s family is addicted to all aspects of materialism, modernityy and consumerism of everything foreign. 1.

Directed by: Joes Pandey is no vulgarity, there is no room for corniness and the symbolism is used to perfection. I would like to give a thumbs-up to writer Binod Paudel Cast: Shushank Mainali, for carefully judged and weighed screenplay as well as to Pandey for near Deeya Maskey, Aruna perfect timing. Karki, Daya Hang Rai and One prominent aspect of Saanghuro is the way the characters are Rabi Giri. portrayed and their lifestyles justified. The characters of Krishna (played Rating:  by Shushank Mainali) and Kamala (played by Deeya Maskey) have been chosen carefully—one is a mere paper boy while the other is an au pair.

MOVIE Reviewed by: Bijaya Krishna’s mother (played by Aruna Karki) is a sweeper employed by the Adhikari is a screenplay municipality. These three pivotal characters’ background well clarifies the writer, ad maker and space they share, hence the title of the film Saanghuro (meaning: cramped lyricist. He is a national place). award winning copywriter However, to those who expect to watch a commercial cinema, and an avid film aficionado. Saanghuro doesn’t quite make the cut. The movie’s trailers and Review promotional materials clearly indicated the film was slow-paced. So If you really concentrate much so, that I could watch it as a short film and give a standing on the lead actor Shushank ovation. Almost 80% of the film was very much clear from the trailer Mainali’s character in the itself. A married couple shares a room with the groom’s mother—this feature film Saanghuro, makes the good part of the film. This development could have been you can actually count with much shorter and could have given the character of Tika (played by your fingers the number Dayahang Rai) or Krishna’s father’s character (played by Rabi Giri) an of dialogues he delivers. entirely different scope. Secondly, the laying off of characters is a bit There are two things I loose. The film seems to have ended on a cliffhanger where I felt that want to point out here: characters of Tika, Krishna’s father, people from the home that Kamala first, the actor has justified his character well enough to not speak much previously worked at, and the others had an inadequate closure. Thirdly, and act more; and second, the film is slow-paced where the plot is broken at a technical level, the cinematography was amiss at some levels— down into consistent pieces. during the master shots the framing goes well with the character’s Saanghuro is an admirable experiment by director Joes Pandey. Why mood but in some scenes, the framing was off. For instance, towards the I call this film an experiment and admire it all the same is because of the end where the lead actor is putting some pills inside a bottle, the bottle topic it brings forth. Its story is based on sex psychology from the ‘art itself cannot be seen, leaving the audience to guesswork than certainty film’ genre, which I feel is far better than the regular beating-enemies- of what the actor is achieving. loving-girls. Pandey has succeeded in delivering a good film that brings Apart from these few glitches, Saanghuro is a good film. I wouldn’t sex psychology as the driving force within its story with subtlety. There call it a must-watch film, but it is definitely worth taking a look. ! entertainment let the good times begin Soaring into the Skies Hari Bansha Aacharya’s autobiography Cheena Harayeko Manche has taken the bookstores by storm.
