    A total waste of time & energy!

    Straight forward talking about the movie, it's hell boring every scenes are predictable, couldn't find a strong story based. And the movie simply delivers a story that King over used his power to use(abuse) women which in return kills the monarchy system.

    I was waiting for something better to happen while the movie already had come to an end. You can barely see any day light although it's horror but doesn't mean a sunlight can't fit in.

    Save your energy and money for better things.

    total waste of time

    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.

    Must watch unique movie

    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.

    A horror movie

    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.

    An actual good horror story

    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.
