Mausami Malla admitted to hospital on her birthday

Actress Mausami Malla is admitted to hospital on her birthday, February 11, 2013 because of health problems.

Mausami had a plan to celebrate her 44th birthday by organizing a program with her friends and family but, because of the health issue, the program was canceled. Mausami says that the health problem might be because of the Artists’ protest and hunger strike. Mausami had participated in the hunger strike in spite of her doctors suggestion. Although, the hunger strike was ended on an agreement with the government, the artists had to do the second phase of the protest when the government didn’t comply with the agreement. Mausami had also participated in the rely-hunger strike in the second phase.

Prior to the first phase of strike, Mausami was diagnosed with a tumor near her uterus. She had completed the prescribed 10-days-long bed rest just before she started the hunger strike. The strike lasted for three days before the government decided to sign the agreement.

In the second phase of the protest, Mausami had postponed the release of her upcoming movie ‘Samaya’ in support of the strike and she had also participate actively in the protest. Mausami’s son Vicky Malla is debuting as an actor in the movie.

We at xnepali wish Mausami a very speedy recovery and also wish her a very happy birthday.

Padmini tune stolen from Hindi film Bol Bachchan

The tune of one of the songs of today’s solo release ‘Padmini’, is found to be copied from a Hindi film, ‘Bol Bachchan’.  Although the words are in Nepali rather than Hindi in the original song, the music is exactly the same.

It is common in Nepali movies to copy scenes, music, posters, stories, and even movie names from Hindi movies. In the past, we had compiled a list of Nepali movie posters that were copied from foreign movies – a height of plagiarism!

Due to the creativity crisis many of the Nepali movies don’t do well in theaters. Because of such irresponsibility in movie makers, many Nepali viewers prefer to watch foreign movies.

‘Padmini’ features Nisha Adhikari, Sarita Giri and Anil Thapa in main roles.

In another report, one of the lead actress in the movie, Sarita Giri wasn’t much happy that about only Nisha Adhikari being featured in the poster. And, she apparently wasn’t asked to held in the promotion of the movie.

We have compiled the tunes in the following video to show how the songs are similar:

If you want to listen the full songs to compare the two here they are:

Bollywood film “Bol Bachchan” film’s “Chalaao Na …”  

Now Nepali movie ‘Padmini’s song “Dil todera najaau baru…”

Rekha Thapa with US scarf, Nepali flag and the love of nation

After reaching the USA, Rekha Thapa had posted a few photos of hers on Facebook, wearing a scarf with US flag printed on it. Some journalists had criticized Rekha for wearing such a scarf and accused her of embracing US lifestyle. Such an accusations have hurt Rekha’s sentiment and she told us, “I Love my country Nepal for ever.”

Hurt by the media report, she wore a Nepali flag on her chest. But, to her dismay, nobody noticed the photo and there were no report about Rekha’s love for her nation.

Talking to us, Rekha complained about the negative attitude of media and told that she loves our nation a lot and nobody can separate her from the Nation.

We don’t think wearing a scarf with an US flag print signify anything. A lot of Nepali pride themselves wearing clothes with foreign flags prints. (Photo credits – Rekha Thapa)
