The Cinema Times, Kathmandu – Even before its theatrical release ‘Jhari Pachhiko Indreni’ has announced its arrival with a thunderous digital impact. Its OST ‘Aam Nepali Buwa’, voiced and written by Balen, has smashed the one-million-view mark within just 24 hours, igniting excitement across social media and video platforms. Viewers have flooded the comment section with praise, calling the song the real voice of people, portraying society exactly as it is-without polish, without pretence.
Released late Sunday night, the rap track instantly resonated with listeners for its unfiltered, hard-hitting portrayal of Nepal’s present-day realities. What makes the song even more electrifying is the soulful inclusion of Mahakabi Laxmi Prasad Devkota’s immortal lines from ‘Kun Mandirma Janchhau Yatri’. Seamlessly blended into the chorus, the poetry adds a timeless emotional depth, turning the rap into a powerful bridge between classical literature and contemporary expression. The result: a song that doesn’t just entertain, but moves, questions, and stays with the listener.
The song’s explosive reception has thrilled Arjun Ghimire ‘Pande’, who marks his directorial debut with ’Jhari Pachhiko Indreni’. Overwhelmed by the love, he shared that such a massive response in such a short span has been deeply motivating.
Notably, this is not the first time Balen has delivered such a digital breakout-his earlier rap song ‘Nepal Haseko’ had also raced past the one-million-view mark within just 24 hours, cementing his reputation as a powerful voice with massive audience reach.
Through sharp, heartfelt storytelling, this song brings to life the silent struggles, heavy responsibilities, emotional sacrifices, and unbreakable resilience of an ordinary Nepali father, while subtly reflecting the larger truths of society. Complemented by striking visuals from the cinema, the music video intensifies the emotional impact, reinforcing the song’s narrative and leaving a lasting impression on viewers.
As of now, ‘Aam Nepali Buwa’ has surged past 1.4million views on YouTube, accompanied by over 164,000 likes and more than 14,500 comments-a clear reflection of its overwhelming reception. The comment section is dominated by praise for Balen’s artistry and authenticity, with countless viewers expressing their eager anticipation to experience ’Jhari Pachhiko Indreni’ on the big screen.
Riding on this explosive early momentum, the song is poised to deliver a strong opening push at the box office. With the previously released track ‘Fasayo Lamile’ and the official trailer already creating significant buzz, ’Jhari Pachhiko Indreni’ has firmly positioned itself as one of the most anticipated theatrical releases, carrying sky-high expectations for the cinema’s theatrical run.
