The trailer of the film PR, directed by Shovit Basnet, has been officially released. The production team unveiled the 3-minute-and-1-second trailer during a press conference on Tuesday.
The trailer portrays the struggles of Nepali youths who travel to Australia for higher education. It highlights the harsh reality faced by young people who take loans to pursue their dream of securing permanent residency (PR), while also dealing with family expectations back home and the challenges of life abroad. Director Basnet presents these emotional conflicts on screen.
The film appears to blend romance, separation, and a patriotic message centered on the idea that “one’s own country is truly one’s own.”
Lead actors R.A. Suraj Paudel and Vinita Karki, who currently reside in Australia, have arrived in Nepal for the film’s promotion. The film is set for an all-Nepal release on Mangsir 26.
The cast also includes Rajan Kunwar, Pooja Chaudhary, Aashma Adhikari Mastani, Bimala Khatri, Ganesh Budhathoki, Max Krishna Thapa, and Naveen Ghyal in major roles.
Veteran actors Nir Shah, Gauri Malla, Rabindra Khadka, Uttam K.C. Nepal, and Dikpal Karki appear in special roles.
A dialogue delivered by Nir Shah in the trailer — “Nepali youth’s energy is invested in Australia” — is expected to resonate strongly with audiences, according to the filmmakers.
Produced under the banner of Salon Salina Films, the film is presented by Ranjit Sah and Santosh Tiwari, with investment from Laxman Sapkota and Pradeep Dahal.
Cinematography is by Saurabh Sayami and Saurabh Lama, while editing is done by Bande Prasad.
The film features songs written by Ganesh Budhathoki, music by Manas Raj, and vocals by Sanup Paudel and Neetu Pun.
Choreography is by Ramji Lamichhane, and distribution is handled by RR Films.
