The Cinema Times, Kathmandu – The trailer of upcoming Nepali cinema ‘Cetaamol’, set to release on Shrawan 23 Janai Purnima, has been released. Packed into 3 minutes and 20 seconds is a sharp blend of piercing satire and grounded storytelling, capturing the rustic essence of rural Nepal. The trailer has struck so deep and hit the audiences emotionally that many shared they didn’t even realize when tears silently streamed down- sparking anticipation among viewers.

The trailer paints a compelling picture of life in rural Nepal amidst poverty, unemployment and government negligence. Woven with razor-sharp dialogues and poignant reflection of society, each frame tells the silent pain of ordinary people navigating extraordinary hardships. Saugat Malla and Benisha Hamal bring gravitas and charm to the screen with their effortless performances breathing life into their rural characters.

The cinema doesn’t just aim to entertain, it aims to provoke. Through clever satire and authentic storytelling, the trailer hints at a cinema exposing the bitter truths of a broken system. The banter, irony and deadpan delivery heighten the impact, making the trailer uncomfortably real.

Director Raj Bahadur Sane stands out with a strong satirical style as a tool for storytelling that feels fresh and socially relevant. The crisp cinematography and editing add charm to the making. ‘Cetaamol’ stars Saugat Malla, Benisha Hamal, Shree Krishna Niroula, Januka Bishwakarma, Karan Nepali, Lokendra Lekhak, Bhugol Karki, Hiunwala Gautam, Sushil Pokharel, Dinesh Regmi, R.R. Khadka, Gyanu Malla, Pawan Bhattarai, Kajal Bhujel and Aradhya Rajyalaxmi DC. Shree Krishna and Januka make their silver screen debut in this cinema.

Technical team features cinematography by Divya Raj Subedi, music by Babul Giri, choreography by Kabiraj Gahatraj, editing by Bande Prasad, color grading by Rajendra Moktan, sound design by Mukesh Shah, and action by Dev Maharjan and Shankar Maharjan. The cinema’s posters were designed by Rakesh Dahal, with production management by Bikash Tamang and Dhan Bahadur Rai.

Produced by Tulshi Devi Films in association with Juntara Films, the story is penned by Pradeep Bhardwaj and director Sane. Presented by Simosh Sunuwar, the producers are Bhugol Kumar Karki and Bikash Raj Joshi, with Apsara Nepali, Ajay Kumar Malla and Kumar KC serving as executive producers, and Gangaram Shrestha as co-producer.
