The Power of Storytelling in Nepali Cinema

Cinema is more than visuals and sound—at its heart, it’s about storytelling. In Nepal, our culture is rich with folklore, traditions, and real-life experiences that deserve to be told through the lens of film. For me, storytelling is not just a creative act; it’s a responsibility. Every film we create shapes how people see themselves and their society.
In this blog, I talk about how storytelling can preserve cultural identity, spark social conversations, and bridge generations. I also share how I choose themes for my scripts—focusing on real emotions, social realities, and characters people can truly relate to. Our stories matter, and the way we tell them defines the future of Nepali cinema.
