Kathaputali

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.

As it is nepali movie. I love nepali movies. This is a 2021 Nepali horror film that delves into traditional rituals and mysterious occurrences. The story follows a group of friends who, after the mysterious death of their friend Xiaoman, venture to Yuanyao Village to uncover the truth behind her demise. The film is noted for its intriguing backdrop, mysterious locations, and the absence of songs, relying instead on a spellbinding soundtrack to enhance its eerie atmosphere. While some viewers appreciate its unique approach to horror, others find it less impactful. Overall, "The Puppet" offers a fresh perspective within Nepali cinema, blending cultural elements with suspenseful storytelling.

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.

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.

Boring. Does not evoke goosebumps as the original Ratsasan. Watch the original and skip the hindi remake. Remake should have been darker. The light hearted way takes the interest away from the movie. Akshay should do better movies and not just for money. He looks old and very bad when he cries. The actor in the original movie was awesome. Rakul preet is very good and the saving grace of the movie. The actress playing SHO madam was good too. The locations are great nonetheless. The kasauli look gives a very good look to the movie. Music and background score are not upto mark. Great to see chandrachur back. Other characters are good. The movie should have had better direction.
