Bheda ko oon Jasto Film Tour

Plenty of documentaries have been made in and about Nepal on various issues- but the unfortunate factor is that it has barely been made for the general people of Nepal.

Public screening of documentaries is an unimaginable dream for the film makers here.A documentary- Bheda ko oon has recently immerged as a film with potentials to bring this dream to reality.

A houseful turnout during the premier of this film during the closing function of Film South Asia 2003, at Jai Nepal Cinema clearly indicated it’s potential.
Motivated with that response- this film now extends general public screening in 10 places across the nation including a cinema in Kathmandu.
As this was a revolutionary attempt for the documentary movement in Nepal- expecting it to be self-sustaining was considered a tough call. Hence it was carried out with support from various organizations. [ More ]

Objective of the tour
Bheda ko oon Jasto…. is a simple documentation of a rather complex subject (music research) thus the public screening of this documentary film had certain expectations.As this film is all about a research on a folk melody-this film is expected to inspire urban musicians to undertake similar research before working on the folk melodies…

As the main key person of this film is Narayan Wagle-a well known journalist-this film is expected to be an inspiration for young journalists of Nepal. Journalism is just not one subject-a journalist should keep his/her eyes, ears open for every possible issues. A hard core political analyst, social commentator, Wagle- is here aiding a musician to find the source of a folk melody.

As this film is filmed and cut at it's simplest form- this film is also expected to inspire young people interested in making films to get out and start making films. We need many more independent filmmakers in Nepal-and this film expects to motivate them.

For general viewers not related to any above-This film is expected to expose them to the natural beauty of the Nepalese mountains and thus inspire them to get into their walking shoes and start on a trek.

Above of all that, most of the cities where the film was screened are disturbed areas so to generate a feeling of normalcy amongst the people outside the capital is the first step towards restoring peace. This is what nepe-laya had been thinking when it first launched the Nepathya Peace Campaign in 2002, Sundar Shanta Nepal Tour in 2003, and now Bheda ko oon Tour….

Conclusion
More than 10,000 people came to see this documentary by paying an average of Rs 100/- which is more than what they pay for other regular commercial movies.
Another important observation was the variety of viewers that came to see this film- irrespective of their ages and gender, everyone were seen happy to have watched it.
Laughing over the richness than crying over losses- is what this film has proved to be.
Bhada Ko Oon Jasto….was certainly very well received by the audience.
