Jaar

It's rare to come across a film that feels like poetry in motion, but Jaar is exactly that. The cinematography is absolutely breathtaking. Every frame is composed like a painting. I also have to mention the CGI tiger, which was beautifully integrated into the film. It didn't feel forced or artificial, it felt symbolic, majestic, and haunting, adding a layer of surreal beauty to a film already so rich in meaning.

The direction by Phurba Tshering Lama is subtle and poetic, never over-explaining, just trusting the audience to feel.

I walked into Jaar expecting a good film. I walked out feeling like I had lived someone else's life for two hours, felt their pain, their choices, their strength.

Movie story is very short with no any extra plot.

Movie waste like 45 minute just for nothing.

No any good bond between actress and actor. They dont even show the love bond at first which is strange. 80% of movie is focused on actress who dont have much of line.

The story telling is extremely slow and more like chapter . Waste 1/4 movie just for scene. Saugat malla have like around less 7 min screen time.

Im pretty impressed by the CGI of tiger scene in the end of the movie. Comparing to mega budget movie like Captain staring " anmol Kc" the cgi game leveled up good in nepali movie industry.

Story telling 2/10 scene 7/10 they wasted great actor potential they could have added more dialog and more love bonding scene before ending in a Meh ending.

I had a great cinema experience after a while, in nepali film, watched it 2 days after unko sweater, and though i thought unko was a good movie, and the good movie week was over, this movie absolutely blew my soul, the direction towards the music and acting and cinematography is way too good, though at some points the lighting were too obvious, but the background music , 11/10.. My issue was not being able to hear the voice in some parts of the movie, though it might be the cinema hall sound system issue, watched it with my wife who generally goes for more modern pop corn flicks, she enjoyed it too, but i had to spend some time to make her understand few reasons and motives of characters as they were not clearly shown in the movie!

JAAR feels like lying safely beside your grandmother, listening to stories that slowly open your heart. With its gentle pace and soulful storytelling, the film paints a vivid picture of tradition, love, and quiet rebellion. The CGI tiger is a stunning touch, mythical yet grounded, an impressive first for regional cinema-feels both lifelike and natural, like something from a half-remembered folktale. The Himalayan backdrop only deepens the dreamlike mood.

A tender, timeless experience that lingers long after the credits roll. I would definitely recommend this movie, not just a movie but a work of art.

Each character in the entire movie was excellent. The cinematography, audio, visual presentation, and the use of the madal and songs were especially impressive. This movie is a pure form of artistic expression-please don't compare it with commercial films.

Indra Bahadur Rai - a prominent figure in Nepali Sahitya(literature) from the queen of hills, Darjeeling. This movie is based on his story, the movie is culture twined and depicts the Unforgiving rules but the Love is making the world go round.

Overall, it was a beautiful art film. I hope to see more such work in the future. Best wishes to the entire team of 'JAAR'.
