"Shree Panch Ambare" to release this Mangsir.

The movie banner that gave us Antaral - a wonderful cinema that got wide recognition but failed business wise, and denounced to make a movie again, has completed another movie entitled "Shre panch Ambare". Now that the post production is complete, JibanSathi films is all set to promote the movie in every possible ways and has announced the release date to be Mangsir 5. The comedy movie is based on the story of a person that wants to be "King" in the society, which is played by Saugat Malla. Other actors in the movie include Keki Adhikari, Priyanka Karki, Bikram Singh, Yama Buddha, Martin Khan, Raj Godailee etc.

Abhimanyu Nirabi has written the movie who is also the writer of Antaral. Likewise Deepa Basnet is the director of the movie. I have this intuition that this movie will be a promising one (i can tell before watching any trailer) from the story to the actor to the director. Apart from the story, actors and the presentation, the movie pixel quality seems to have improved a lot these days due to use of advanced tools and camera. I expect good viewing experience with this movie due to the use of Red camera. 

Here is the first poster released for the movie.

Movie on BP Koirala life.

There has been handful of accounts in Nepali film industry for movies based on the life of political leaders or some remarkable events in Nepalese history. Movies like Bir Ganeshman, Das Dhunga are among those that have created a hype but are not able to be treated as a significant work in Nepali movie industry. They just came and went, without being a stepping stone to further such works in Nepali cinema.
Now it is known that an untitled movie is known to be made on the life of popular Nepali leader and writer Bisheshwor Prasad Koirala ( BP koirala in short). BP Chintan Prasthan is going to produce the movie with a budget of Rs 80 lakh. Chairman of  the chintan pratisthan Haribol Bhattarai inaugurated the shooting of the movie at Sundarijal, marking his death anniversary and the 100th birth anniversary year. The movie is written by Dipendra Dahal and known to feature his personal life, political and literature career, including his relationship with king, other political leaders and not forgetting the democratic struggle he had fought all his life. It is not clear if the movie script has anything to do with his autobiographies Jail Journal and Mero Katha. He was also the first democratically elected prime minister of Nepal, who was soon ousted by King Mahendra after 18 months in office. He had spent several years in exile and jail. He is still believed to be the most influential and patriotic leader of Nepal. His party Nepali Congress, the oldest one is still the major stakeholder in Nepali politics. Though it would be good if all Nepali people follow his path, it would matter in a big way if NC leaders, cadres follow BPs path.

So this movie has huge potential in reaching out to more people to help people know him better and his ideologies but there is a big challenge in giving justice to such renowned persons life. Lets think they must have done enough research before doing this movie to yield good result. My good wishes to the team.

Songs about being sick

There are songs about different emotions and circumstances that makes you feel empathized when you listen to it. Several people even make playlist of such songs based on it other than the genre or era. Some people have their own list of songs about being hurt (that I don't think have posted in my blog) but had posted my list of songs about rain. As I am lying here in this bed for this sickness, I think of songs about being sick, for which only these came to me. You may add other songs that features sickness, in the comment below.

Spain vs Netherlands Prediction, Chile vs Australia and Columbia vs Greece prediction

La Roja is on a hat-trick this world cup, after the deserving win in FIFA WC 2010 and Euro 2012. The Oranjes will try to take revenge for their loss in South Africa but as the Spanish side is strong as always, I am not convinced of Netherlands to win. Star studded Espanya has numerous option to select even if some key players are injured. Atletico's Diego Costa is suffering from hamstring problem so he is unlikely to play in this match for which David Villa or Fernando Torres may be brought in to have some scores coming. Expect some goals with such world class players in both sides, and the cards... it will definitely be less than that of 2010 finals, but early 3 points is what I expect for Spain. Their style of playing (tiki-taka), world's best midfielders and winning trends, show they are not letting me down for this match. This crucial win will earn them enough points to top Group B so as to meet the Group A runner up and probably all other win to a hat-trick. Here is my prediction for all the matches on the Nepali date (Jestha 31).

Spain vs Netherlands.

Where: Arena Fonte Nova, Salvador

When: 12:45 am June 14 (Jestha 31)

Prediction: Spain 2 Netherlands 1

Head to head: 10, 5 won by Spain, 1 draw and 4 by Netherlands.

Chile Vs Australia

Where: Cuiaba 

When: 3:45 am June 14 (Jestha 31)

Prediction: Chile 1 Australia 0

Head to head: 4, 3 win by Chile, 1 draw.

Colombia Vs Greece

Where: Belo Horizonte

When: 9:45 pm June 14 (Jestha 31)

Prediction: Colombia 1 Greece 1

Head to head: Single play which resulted in a win by Colombia.

Brazil vs Croatia, Mexico vs Cameroon Prediction.

As we (Nepal) are ahead of western time (having standard time of GMT+5:45), which is 8:45 hours ahead of Brazilian time, It is on June 13 (Jestha 30) here in our country that the very first game of the World cup 2014 kicks off with the host Brazil take on underdog Croatia. Though it seems vary rare that Croatia wins over the host Brazil, they will not leave any stone unturned to shock the host. Record has it that the host does not always start good with such immense pressure, and the nerve racking uproar can make best of Brazil to outperform or perform least. Neymar who is seen as the contender for the Golden boot, will definitely try to beat Croatia's inept defense and will score at least one. Croatia will suffer much in this match as his key player Mario Mandžukić (Bayern Munich forward) is suspended for this match due to the red card in the match against Iceland. Big pressure mounts on midfielder Luka Modric in this match. Lets see how will the underdogs play against this "favorite" team on paper.
I always love predictions and as I look back, I happen to cover some of the exciting events, like the Oscar awards, Golden Globe to Euro Cup 2012 to the Constituent Assembly election 2 in my blog. I was also the winner for the World cup 2006 predict and win contest held during my lecturing at Kathmandu Engineering College. This time, we are organizing a similar type of predict and win contest at office for FIFA world cup 2014. Administering the management of the contest and similar workload at office, I may not be able to post such predictions for every match but I will try to include the key matches. The reason: Like I already said-> I love predicting.

Here is my prediction for both the matches of Group A.

Brazil vs Croatia.

Where: Sao Paolo and in your TV/ Computer (just for fun!!).

When: Jestha 30 1:45 am (June 13).

Prediction: Brazil 2 Croatia 0

Head to head: Brazil had met Croatia two times before, in which Brazil won once, and another ended in a draw.

Mexico Vs Cameroon.

Where: Estadio Das Dunas, Natal

When: Jestha 30, 9:45 pm

Prediction: Cameroon 1 Mexico 0.

Head to head: Just 1, won by Mexico.

Disclaimer: As more of my intuition came into play for this prediction (with some football pundits remarks), do not blindly use this for betting. Also I may not predict the same in the Predict and win contest happening in my office.
