7 Annoying Nepali Movie Stereotypes We Are All Tired of Watching

Maybe Nepali movies are affected by Hollywood and Bollywood but there are never-ending stereotypes that it never forgets to portray.

Even though the world has rolled into a new century, the Nepali movie industry still sticks to the same old tropes. The viewers are tired of seeing these stereotypes and honestly, Kollywood needs a breath of fresh air from this suffocating fog.

1. Every ‘sanskari’ girl is portrayed wearing kurta suruwal

Every sanskari girl who played a good girl character must have to wear kurtha in movies. Why do sanskari girls only have to wear kurtha and traditional dresses? The linkup between these dresses and good characters is really the salt to the dish in these typical Nepali movies.

2. Super rich businessman will have a playboy son

There will always be your stereotypical rich businessman and their spoiled son. The whole personality of the son will be nothing more than a playboy.

3. These playboys are always rehabilitated by sanskari girls

In movies, there are always bad guys. Without a bad guy and hero, the movie isn’t complete. But where there are bad boys there are good girls too. And only a good girl character can rehabilitate bad guys.

4. Villans and his goons and long hairstyles

To look like a villain, a guy must be with long hair. In every Nepali movie, the villain and his team must have long hair to look terrified and dangerous.

5. Spoiled rich girl will have a character change when she falls in love

A rich girl who is in her 18s always has bad characters in Nepali movies. In movies, they put girl characters as must insult everyone who is lower than her and always should have two to three friends roaming around her. But after meeting the hero her behavior will change and she will start to act like a good girl.

6. Village guy comes to capital for further study

In Nepali movies, every character of a guy who is from a village has to go to Kathmandu for his further study.  They make movies like there are no colleges in the village.

7. Patriarchal setting

We can find in every Nepali movie, that women or girls are always treated as second class. They are either shown working at home or as a sexual companion. Their decisions are always questioned, and their authority is undermined due to a strong male presence in the movie.
