Movie Theaters To Stop Showing Hindi Films

2012-10-03T23:23:00.004+05:30

Nepali cinema halls have decided to stop showing Hindi films from Monday. The decision comes a few days after CPN-Maoist decided to ban screening of Hindi movies across the country.

Multiplex operator QFX has decided to close all its theaters indefinitely from Monday. “We have decided to close all our theaters from Monday,” Basanta Manandhar, distribution manager of QFX, told Republica. “We are forced to close our theaters because we do not have any quality Nepali movie right now.”

QFX operates QFX Jainepal in Hattisar, QFX Kumari in Kamalpokhari and QFX Central at Civil Mall, Sundhara. Another multiplex, BigCinemas, however, another multiplex, Big Cinemas at City Center, will operate with only one theater from Monday.

“We will close two of our theaters for an indefinite period. In one theater, we will be showing Nepali movie Facebook,” said Bharat Singh, country manager of Big Cinemas. “We will have to face a huge loss if we are not allowed to show Hindi movies,” Singh said without disclosing the loss amount.

Gwarko-based Guna Cinemas has not decided whether it would show Nepali movies or close all its theaters. “We will decide by Monday morning,” Shambhu Sitaula, marketing manager of Guna Cinemas, said.

Gopi Krishna Movies, however, plans to open all its theaters. “We won´t close the theaters; we will show Nepali movies in our six theaters,” Pradeep Dahal, manager of Gopi Krishna Movies, said.

One theater of Gopi Krishna Movies is currently undergoing maintenance.
Cinema operators have said the ban on screening of Hindi movies will create a huge loss to them. They say all the theaters will eventually shut down if the decision is not withdrawn.

iphone 5 release

2012-09-27T23:27:00.001+05:30

NEW YORK, Sept 24: Apple Inc. said Monday that it has sold more than 5 million units of the new iPhone 5 in the three days since its launch, less than analysts had expected.

Apple shares were down $15.31, or 2.2 percent, at $684.79 in premarket trading.

The iPhone 5, the most eagerly awaited phone of the year, went on sale Friday in the U.S., Germany, France, Japan and five other countries.

When it launched the iPhone 4S a year ago, Apple sold 4 million in the first three days.

Apple could have sold more iPhones if it had more available: demand exceeded supply for most models. Topeka Capital Markets analyst Brian White said the phone was sold out at 80 to 85 percent of the U.S. Apple stores he and his team contacted Sunday evening, and the ones that were still available were mostly Sprint models.

The four-inch screen, which we’ll come onto in detail shortly, is Apple’s belated nod to the industry trend for bigger displays, and means the iPhone 5 now stands a proud 123.8mm tall – width remains the same at 58.6mm.

The extra screen real-estate is welcome, though smaller-handed iPhone users might struggle to reach the standby button with a forefinger while holding it in a natural position. Th

ey might even have to stretch for the extra top row of apps. Just hold it a different way, perhaps.

Because various components have been reduced in size, the headphone socket has been moved to the bottom of the device, which comes with its pros and cons. On the plus side, your phone usually goes in your pocket nose first, which means the headphone cable has a clear run out to your ears.

On the downside, the jutting jack interferes with your hand when holding it ‘upright’. Not all apps will use the gyroscope to flip the screen 180-degrees, either, so you’ll have to get used to that.

The bottom-hugging stereo speakers have also been given a boost, the better to annoy old people on the bus as you rattle out Skream’s latest. Do your own iPhone 4S to iPhone 5 sound comparison and you’ll realise the sound is unquestionably fuller and deeper.

Then there’s the Lightening connector. In our testing, we didn’t find it any quicker for transferring content over a cable but we do prefer the new connector in terms of it being a) smaller and b) reversible.

At the time of writing, the Lightening-to-30-pin adapter wasn’t available – it sure ain’t in the box, and it’ll cost £25 on release – so we haven’t experienced how it will cope with existing docks and accessories but it’s safe to say, things could look ugly.

There are add-ons that simply won’t work with it, either – TomTom’s iPhone car kit, for example. It’s made us realise how many USB-to-30-pin cables we’ve amassed over the years and how, now, they’re all redundant, apart from servicing the new iPad and nostalgic clear outs.

Saral awarded Soldier of the Year, 2012

2012-08-25T21:46:00.002+05:30

kamala Shrestha, a resident of Kathmandu, got a call from her son, Saral Shrestha, studying in the Unites States.

“I’m trying my hands on something big, please pray for me,” he said over the phone. He did not elaborate on what he was going to do or what was on his mind. She later found out that her son was getting admitted in the US Army and she wasn’t too happy about it.

After three years, her heart has changed towards her son’s profession and she’s very proud of his success. Sergeant Saral Shrestha of the US Army recently was awarded ‘Soldier of the Year, 2012’.

“I don’t see any reason to not be happy for my son’s success,” shared Kamala.

Operation Command of the US Army awards one of the seven sergeants ‘Soldier of the Year’ and Saral was successful in bagging the title, leaving behind the rest.

Saral, at the moment, is with the Special Forces Command (Airborne) in the US Army and he is also set to participate in the ‘Best Warrior’ Award in October. “Soldier of the Year is the brigade level award but Department of Army Best Warrior is the highest award,” informed Saral over the email.

In September 15, 2009, when Saral got into the Army, it had only been around three years that he had stepped in America for his education.

A graduate from Bellevue University in Nebraska in Bachelors in Computer Information Science Networking, he shocked his friends and family when he chose to enter the Army.

It’s not unusual for Nepalis to enter the British or Indian Army but very few make it in the US Army. However, Saral’s father, Ramesh Kumar Shrestha, Professor of Political Science at Patan Multiple Campus in Lalitpur, is not surprised that his son got in.

“Saral is already a citizen of America now,” shared Ramesh Kumar, adding, “He did go on a Student Visa but he was provided with the citizenship once he was chosen to be in the Army.”

“For America to be powerful, besides Gokhali (Nepali), there is a lot of contribution from people from all around the world,” recollected Ramesh as a student of International Relations.

He said that at a time when the world is turning into a global village because of technology and the people getting more interested in the Western world, it was not surprising that his son chose to be in the US Army.

“A great inspiration for me was my great grandfather, Sundar Kumar Shrestha, who fought during the World War II in Oceana and Nagaland from the British Army side. I heard his stories when I was growing up and I guess that inspired me to some extent,” shared Saral.

Even though the Shrestha family has a background in the Army, Saral’s father and grandfather never joined any forces. His ancestors in Kantipur (now Kathmandu) were in the Army during the Malla period.

When the Gorkha Army attacked Kirtipur, the last king of the Malla period, Jaya Prakash Malla, had asked for help from Saral’s ancestors to fight the Gokhali Army and protect Kirtipur.

After nine generations, Saral has joined the US Army and proved that it runs in his blood to be a fighter and in the army.

Miss Nepal Shristi home 'enriched'

2012-08-25T21:20:00.000+05:30

It was enriching. I am grateful for having the opportunity which I think was adventurous,” expressed Miss Nepal 2012 Shristi Shrestha of her wonderful Miss World experience on arrival at Kathmandu on August 23.

She didn’t bring home the crown home as yet another Miss World dream shattered on August 18 for Nepal, but she has brought back cherished moments along with a few achievements to be proud of.

Shristi was ranked 21st among 116 participants of the world and she bagged the Top 10 positions in two fast titles — Multimedia Award and Beach Beauty. She was also picked as one of the best dancers in ‘Top Dancers of the World’. These accomplishments show that her hard work and training have paid off to an extent.

Gopal Sundar Lal Kakshapati, Chairman of The Hidden Treasure claims, “This is a big achievement. She has showed how we can do it. It has also encouraged more candidates to apply for the coming Miss Nepal pageants.”

And to Shristi, the pageant was worth every little effort.

“During the pageant, I gave my 110 per cent, every second. I am happy with my performance and my representation. I don’t have regrets,” she said,

Another proud moment was when Miss World official Steve Douglas mentioned after meeting her, “Nepalis are beautiful and I am looking forward to next year.”

As Miss World was not just about competing, Shristi reveals she made friends and visited beautiful places which are her memorable moments of Miss World held in in Ordos, China.

“I made lots of friends. The girls from my group became very close. There was togetherness but no jealousy and hatred amongst us though it was a competition,” she shared of her experience adding, “This moment was my dream.”

Visiting Shanghai, Beijing and nomadic places made her “feel blessed for this chance. It was amazing to see their culture, tradition and way of living and to share it with the ladies of the competition”.

The country had pinned their hopes on her and Kakshapati mentioned, “We were sure she would be in Top 15.”

Though she didn’t make it, she divulged, “I gave my best possible to represent Nepal.”

And her not so memorable moment includes not making to the Beauty with a Purpose. “The video was strong and many had liked it while some were in tears. I don’t know what they looked and overlooked,” she opined. However, Shristi is Nepal’s Miss World as she has made Nepal proud. Back in Nepal, she will be working with UNICEF, WWF to carry on with the humanitarian work.

Miss China Yu Wenxia Grabs Miss World 2012

2012-08-18T22:57:00.003+05:30

This is the second time Miss China has been awarded the title.Miss China Yu Wenxia took away the title of Miss World 2012 this year. Miss Wales – Sophie Elizabeth Moulds became the first runner-up and Miss Australia Jessica Michelle became the second runner-up in the pageant.

The beauty pageant this year was held at Inner Mongolian city of Ordos. While Sanya, another popular city of China had hosted the event several times, it was for the first time for an inner city like Ordos to have hosted the world class beauty pageant. A highest number ever of 116 contestants had made it to the pageant.

Shristi Shrestha, who had represented Nepal in the pageant wasn’t successful in any achieving significant achievement from Miss World 2012. However, optimistic we may have been with her progress in the pageant; she followed the same fate as of previous participants from Nepal. Here are some images of Shristi Shrestha as seen in the Finale event held at Ordos today.

After ‘Munni’, It’s Kanchhi’s Turn

2012-08-15T21:41:00.000+05:30

Just when we thought things couldn’t get any worse for our morphing Nepali cinema, I came across this footage that made me cringe so bad I had to pause the video a couple of times before I could finish watching it. It was the visual of a song featured in the upcoming Nepali movie Thank You and I was in total disgust to find out it was a total rip off of the hit Bollywood tune ‘Munni Badnaam Hui’, only here ‘Munni’ was replaced by ‘Kanchhi’.

We’ve had numerous cases of copies in our film industry, sometimes it’s posters and sometimes it’s story lines from international cinemas and sadly, this movie is yet another addition to the list of shame. It even shares its title with a Hindi film and although it may purely be coincidental, the filmmakers could have still tried to be more original.

Personally, it’s not really the kind of video I’d go around recommending but I just feel one must know what sort of changes our movie scene is facing at the moment and decide for yourself what kind of impact it leaves on.

Here’s the Video.

KFC, Pizza Hut shut in Nepal over death threats

2012-08-15T21:15:00.003+05:30

All four KFC and Pizza Hut restaurants in Nepal shut down on Tuesday saying that staff had attacked and threatened to kill branch managers.

Devyani International, which operates outlets of KFC and Pizza Hut in Nepal and neighbouring India, wrote a letter to authorities announcing the immediate closure of its eateries in the capital Kathmandu.

"In order to disrupt our operations, some staff have physically attacked and threatened to kill the senior managers," the company said in a letter leaked to local media and seen by AFP.

"These acts have put the life of senior managers at risk. To maintain the safety of our restaurants and the staff, we have shut down our services for an indefinite period," it said.

The U.S. restaurant chain Kentucky Fried Chicken entered the Nepalese market last Wednesday, along with Pizza Hut. Both belong to the Yum! brand, the world's largest restaurant company in terms of units.

This is certainly a milestone for Nepal; the market so far has been untouched by global brands of stature like KFC and Pizza Hut. Excited customers lined up for hours to get a taste of American fast food, showing the level of anticipation and expectation Nepalese customers have from these two brands.

Government to approach ADB for metro railway DPR

2012-08-14T18:03:00.000+05:30

The government is all set to approach the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for the preparation of a detailed project report (DPR) of a metro railway system and feasibility study of a North-South railway link.

The Ministry of Physical Planning, Works and Transport Management is preparing to propose the ADB for this within a week.

In a bid to cater to the demand of mass transport system, the government has planned to a build metro railway system or Mass Rapid Transit System (underground and elevated railway) in the Capital. Korean consulting companies in joint venture with local partners are conducting a feasibility study of the metro railway.

“We will soon be formally proposing the ADB for metro’s DPR and in-depth feasibility study of a North-South railway connecting India and China,” said a high level official at the ministry. The official said they were working on the study to make it more attractive to prospective investors or seek grant assistance from donors in future for the construction work.

The North-South link is conceived for connecting two neighboring countries as part of Trans-Asia Railway Network. In December last year, Nepal had agreed to be a part of the railway network that will connect the country with railway networks of Europe, enabling uninterrupted movement of people and goods. India and China had also agreed to participate in the Trans-Asia Railway link.

The government has been working on the metro plan for the last three years. According to the preliminary inception report prepared by consulting firms, the metro system in Kathmandu will have five lines with a combined length of 67km. Four lines are planned to be built inside the Ring Road, with the one running around the Ring Road will be 27.35km long. Chungsuk Engineering Company, Korea Transport Institution, Kunhwa Consulting and Engineering Company, Korea Rail Network Authority and two local companies— Building Design Authority and Environmental and Research Management Consultant—are preparing the feasibility study report.

“We hope to get the complete feasibility report within two months,” said Ram Kumar Lamsal, director general of the Railway Department. He said that the preliminary report has showed that three lines would be elevated and the other two would be built underground.

The proposed metro network will have 31 stations with its main terminal at Ratnapark, according to the inception report. The metro will cover almost all major bus stops such as Kalanki, Satdobato, Koteshwor, Chabahil, Narayan Gopal Chowk, Gongabu of the Ring Road and New Baneshwor, Singha Durbar and Thamel.

Shoes With Buddha’s Images Anger Buddhists

2012-08-11T23:47:00.001+05:30

First there were images of Hindu Goddess Laxmi printed on bikini bottoms and now a California-based company has come under fire for promoting a range of shoes with the Lord Buddha’s images.

Times of India reports the Tibetan and the Buddhist community are outraged at the shoe company Icon Shoes who even dared to call the collections “Thangka of the Buddha”

Followers of Buddhism across the world have written to the company to express their disgust claiming the move to be insensitive. The company’s Facebook page has been flooded with protest notes. They have also been asked not only to stop selling those products but manufacturing them as well.

Based out of Palm Desert, California, ICON was launched in 1999 by a Hollywood filmmaker and art collector.
