The making of Nepali films is said[by whom?] to
have begun with D.B. Pariyar's Satya Harishchandra, which was the first
Nepali-language movie to be shot. It was produced from Kolkata, India and was
released on September 14, 1951. Aama (meaning mother) was the first film
produced in Nepal and was released on October 7, 1964. It was produced by the
Information Department of His Majesty's Government of Nepal (now Government of
Nepal). It was directed by Hira Singh Khatri and the lead actors were Shiva
Shankar Manandhar and Bhuwan Chand, who are regarded as the first actors in the
Nepali film industry.
The first film to be produced under a private
banner was Maitighar, which was released at the end of 1966 by Sumonanjali
Films Pvt. Ltd. Although it was a Nepali movie, it had many Indians
contributing toward its making. Mala Sinha played the lead role, along with
Chidambar Prasad Lohani, whom she later married. It had special appearances of
Sunil Dutt and comedian Rajendra Nath. Directed by B.S. Thapa and music scored
by Jaidev, a veteran maestro, it had Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, Usha
Mangeshkar and Manna Dey, all of whom were established Indian singers, doing
the playback singing with Prem Dhoj Pradhan, C.P. Lohani and Aruna Lama.
The Nepal government established the Royal Nepal
Film Corporation in 1971. Mann Ko Bandh was the first film produced by the
corporation; Jay Rana was the director. Nati Kaji and Shiva Shankar were the
music composers of the songs. Amber Gurung scored the background music. It
premiered in 1973 in Kathmandu. Mann Ko Bandh was followed by Kumari (the first
Eastman color Nepali film) in 1978, Sindoor in 1980, and Jeevan Rekha in a
series. Their success opened up the avenue for private parties to enter into
filmmaking as an industrial endeavor.
Paral Ko Aago, directed by Pratap Subba, was
produced by Cineroma in 1978. The black-and-white movie proved to be a great
success due to its story and melodious music. The actors were Tanka Sharma,
Basundhara Bhusal, Susmita Dhakal, I.K. Singh, Menuka Pradhan, etc. The music
director Shanti Thatal became the first female music director in Nepali movies.
The lyrics were prepared by Manbahadur Mukhiya and Indra Thapaliya and the
songs were sung by Aruna Lama, Dawa Gyalmo, Pema Lama, Shankar Gurung and Deepa
Gahatraj (Jha). Pratap Subba was also the scriptwriter. It was based on a
popular short story of the same name by Guru Prasad Mainali.
