Talakjung Vs Tulke is a story about a common villager, living in a Nepalese mountain village. A person who is struggling to reclaim his lost aristocratic identity and is humiliated everyday by people around him. He is a common laborer who desperately seeks recognition and respect, 'Tulke'. Oops sorry, 'Talakjung Singh Thakuri' or 'Babu Saheb'. The story takes place in time of Nepalese Civil War which lasted around 1996 – 2006 in Nepal.
The Nepalese Civil War was an armed conflict between government forces and Maoist fighters in Nepal which lasted from 1996 until 2006. The war was launched by the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) on 13 February 1996, with the aim of overthrowing the Nepalese monarchy and establishing a 'People's Republic'. It ended with the Comprehensive Peace Accord signed on 21 November 2006. Nepal's decade-long civil war left more than 16,000 dead, with rebels and security forces accused of serious human rights violations including killings, rapes, torture and disappearances.

Talakjung Vs Tulke is another masterpiece by Nischal Basnet. I was really impressed by how he took care of every small detail in the movie. It was remarkable journey from start to finish, a new taste. I have known Nishal Basnet for breaking trends in the movie industry, and yet again he has done so with another flawless movie. This movie doesn't have dramatic dialogues of Rajesh Hamal and breathtaking action of Nikhil Upreti, but has a very powerful script with sensible dialogues and fight scenes. Besides the story, Khagendra Lamichhane was astounding from start till end. He carried out each dialogues and performance very well and deserves credit for how beautiful the movie has become. Dayahang Rai's special appearance was very short and sweet. There was however only one song, which was not the best.
Plot:
Tulke – a simpleton day-laborer in a Nepalese mountain village – struggles to reclaim his lost aristocratic identity while a violent revolution disrupts every aspect of village life. Humiliated everyday by everybody around him, Tulke desperately seeks recognition and respect. Instead, he is falsely accused by the woman he loves and forced to flee from his ancestral village. When the city corrupts him and teaches him how the treacherous accumulate and wield power, he returns to his village to avenge himself against people who have wronged him and his family. He becomes a lackey to the revolutionaries in the village, and because he refuses to wrong those he loves, finds himself ensnared in a web of deception and violence, leading to a tragic conclusion for everybody.
Watch or not?
It's a movie that you probably would not have imagined and a kind of movie that you cannot taste in foreign movie. A must watch movie for all who can understand Nepali.
