Kathaputali

Name of the movie 'Kathaputali the Puppet' is intriguing and so are the backdrop story on dynasts, mysterious film locations, traditional rituals and spooky late night river scenes. The movie does not have any songs yet has spellbinding soundtracks. Kathaputali feels like an intense thriller drama in addition to being a horror movie. Regarding some flaws, 'There is a time and place for everything', and for me this is the moment to cherish this multi-national creation. Kathaputali is a must watch unique movie with friends and family.

I was mildly excited to watch this movie and as soon as I got the chance, I went straight to the theatre alone and watched it. But I feel sorry to say, it did not meet my expectations at all.

The setting and costumes were praiseworthy and I appreciate the team for that. The performances by the actors were just satisfying. Usha did a good job, I think. However, Karma's performances were somewhat funny. I don't know if that was intentional or not. The performance of the whole royal family members could have been better. There is nothing in the story that I will remember as unique. Everything in this movie is something we have already seen before. Storytelling seemed confusing and it didn't excite me either.

High hopes lead to disappointment and this movie proves that. This movie will remain in the history as just a normal horror movie. "Support Nepali movies" is all the movie about.

Watched nepali movie after a long time but very much disappointed with the overall presentation of the movie. Very boring from start to end. Acting of Gauri Malla and Mithila Sharma was great. Other than that, dont watch. I hate to write but Not Recommended at all.

The movie was really good it wasn't outstanding when it came to the vfx and special effects but when it came to an actual story and storytelling the movie far surpasses previous horror movie with having a good story based on our folklore and history but also quite a revelation of what had actually happened and doesn't leave it in a cliffhanger, most of the actors were quite good in their acting accept few, which I thought were overacting quite a bit but in overall a entertaining movie I quite enjoyed.

In terms of acting, Mithila Sharma and Usha Rajak's performance was simply impressive. Unlike these two, Karma wasn't able to dive into the character at times. He was just being Karma sometimes that made you wonder if you are watching his some other non horror movie. Sound and picture quality could have used lots of improvement. What I enjoyed about this movie is it touches on some history that were actually true and that it utlizes Nepali folklores. I also enjoyed the story telling. Overall, I am impressed with this Nepali movie though given the budget constraints and the fact that this genre that is still in it's infancy in Nepali movies.
