Kagbani -Supernatural story with good visual narration.

By Sonalee Shyamsunder.

Kagbani is the film adopted by the supernatural classic story written by W.W.Jacob originally called “The Monkey’s Paw”. It is written during 20th century. Script adviser Reshu Aryal Dhugana converted the story taking in to account Thakali culture. According to her, Nepali culture believes in mysteries and the suspense in the nature or an environment.

The story is about the two youth and the wish fulfiller paw given by mysteries stranger. A young boy Krishna came to visit his village there he meet his close friend Ramesh. Both of them decided to visit neighboring village. On the way they come across a stranger who gave them an animal’s paw which had got supernatural powers which can fulfill demanded wish. However the major curse was, the wish used to get fulfilled in a strange way. Here the director wants to reflect that good things have a miserable background. It is cause and effect relation. Happiness or completion of a wish has to give or sacrifice some thing from the life.

This movie is directed by Bhushan Dahal it is his first movie as a director. Dahal is prominent T.V personality in the Nepal. Have done many T.V commercials in Nepal.
The film was highly appreciated by the audience on the large scale, in spite of being based on the fictional story still it was proved as a brilliant effort by the director and his team, in the 10th MAMI international film festival.

Prominent film critic R.K Radhakrishnan added that “ it is an example of the film which not only entertains but also touches the heart”
