The Cinema Times, Kathmandu – In her eyes, she is a beautiful-capable woman portrayed by actor Swastima Khadka, but what the society sees is quite different.

The teaser of ‘Behuli from Meghauli’ effectively explores the role of a woman as expected to play by the society.

Whether they are compatible or not is not anyone’s concern, the wedding date is already set, the family now wants a two-legged groom! The journey of a woman caught in the complexities of marriage and family is so well presented with humor. It has already captured the attention of cinephiles.

All the actors appear to embody their roles with authenticity bringing the narrative to life. The background score complements the narrative.
