  • Chapter I: Introduction 1.1 Short History of Nepali Cinema This Research Aims to Focus on How Class Consciousness Has Been Creat
    Chapter I: Introduction 1.1 Short History of Nepali Cinema This research aims to focus on how class consciousness has been created and recreated in Nepali cinema since 1970s. In particular, it explores the role of Nepali cinema and its ways of representing Nepali class through economic, political and ideological representation in Nepali society since the research shows that movies reflect the reality of the society. Therefore, this dissertation analyzes seven different movies representing various time frames: Paral Ko Aago (1978), Lahure (1989), Nepali Babu (1997), Balidaan (1997), Izzatdar (2009), Loot (2012) and Shilu (1978). This research will also analyze the elements that have formed class consciousness in relation to ‘hegemonic class.’ And theory of Marxism, which is one of the most influencing theories in the field of cultural or interdisciplinary analysis, will be an approach to analyze these movies that has evolved over the period of time in the academia. The Nepali film industry is the youngest cinema industry in comparison to Bollywood and Hollywood. Nepali cinema industry is also known as Kollywood. Since it does not have a long history as its history, it goes back to second half of twentieth century. Though there is a dispute whether D.B. Pariyar’s Satya Harischandra (1951) was the first ever Nepali movie produced in Kolkata, India, others regard Amma (1964) as the first ever Nepali movie produced in Nepal in Nepali language. It was produced by the government agency, Nepal Government’s Information Department, on behalf of Nepal Government. The first commercial movie was regarded as Maitighar (1966). It was released by Sumonanjali Films Private Limited.
