Storyline

We are in the year 2001, a temporary ceasefire brings a much-needed break to a small war-torn village in Northern Nepal, bringing much joy among the residents. Prakash and Kiran, two young close friends, are also starting to feel the change in the air. Though they are divided by caste and social creed, they remain inseparable, and start raising a hen given to Prakash by his sister, with hopes to save money by selling her eggs. However, the hen goes missing. To find it, they embark on a journey, innocently unaware of the tyranny brought by the fragile ceasefire.

User Reviews

Movie with different Taste , kinda of Documentary type.

Movie kalo pothi is a movie for those who wants to see rather a different timing story , Story that are related but in a different way.

While watching movie , I experienced the lives & living of the mugu people exactly which are explained & truth.

Even there's a vast differences in caste factor of living in Nepal in those times however now , the friendship between the Boys with despite the having caste that may allow people of the time to have relationship with , is what makes the movie into a good story.

Combining many stories with the small stories are the top work of the team.

overall I recommend you to watch it , if you want movie with different taste.
