    The Film Development Board is an organization established on June 30, 2000, with the main objective of promoting films and institutional development of filmmakers.


    Background of Nepali movie making

    Satya Harishchandra, a first Nepali language film produced in Kolkata in 1951 by DB Parajuli. After that, the Nepal-produced film Aama was released on October 7, 1964. After slowly going through various ups and downs, Nepali cinema is now succeeding in projecting its image on the world map. In 2021 BS, the then radio singer and musician Shiv Shankar Manandhar and theater actor Sushri Bhuvan Chand acted in the movie Aama. Then in 2023 BS, another much-awaited Nepali film Maitighar was released. Maitighar, starring Indian actor Mala Sinha and Nepali CP Lohani, went on to become a real-life couple.Sadly Mr Lohani left the world this year.

    Which achievement in the history of Nepali cinema do you like the most?

    The heart of the Nepali audience, which has not forgotten the swift plot of Darpan Chaya, has been plundered with the touching and realistic acting of Haku Kale and Thinley Lundup. Now, Nepali films have started trading for millions and the market has expanded abroad due to the love of the Nepali community.
