Synopsis:​

"Nango Gaun, नाङ्गो गाउँ" released on September 15th, 2023, is a cinematic masterpiece directed by Diprendra Lama. This Nepali film features an ensemble cast, with Dayahang Rai, Miruna Magar, Buddhi Tamang ,Karma Shakya, Shishir Bangdel, Rabindra Jha, and Samragyee Laxmi Shah taking center stage. Set in a rustic Nepali village, "Nango Gaun" delivers a compelling blend of love, politics, courage, and betrayal that will keep you on the edge of your seat.​

Plot Summary:

The story begins with Pasang Tamang, portrayed by the versatile actor Dayahang Rai, as a dedicated teacher in a secondary school. Rai's previous successes in films like "Kabaddi Kabaddi Kabaddi" and "Jari" have raised expectations, and "Nango Gaun" lives up to the hype. The village setting adds an authentic and relatable dimension to the narrative.​
As the plot unfolds, we witness the corrosive influence of politics on the village, with Shishir Bangdel playing the role of the conniving and power-hungry mayor, Jari Lama. He withholds teacher salaries for his own selfish agenda, setting the stage for a tale deeply intertwined with political machinations.​
Miruna Magar's entry as the female lead injects a breath of fresh air into the narrative, and her chemistry with Dayahang Rai is electric. Their on-screen presence is a highlight that keeps the audience engaged.​
The film takes a gripping turn when Pasang Tamang is challenged by the mayor, Jari Lama, to run against him in the upcoming election. The ensuing political drama is intensified by unexpected twists, including the introduction of Shanker, portrayed by Karma Shakya, a student of Pasang Tamang, and his romantic interest in Rabina, portrayed by Samragyee Laxmi Shah.​
The heart of the story lies in Pasang Tamang's unwavering integrity, as he refuses to accept money from others during his election campaign. A memorable moment is when Miruna Magar's character gifts him her jewelry with the now-famous line, "Mero gahana vanekai ta Tapai nai honi." This moment resonates deeply with the audience.​
However, the climax hits hard as Shanker's betrayal leads to Pasang Tamang's election loss, symbolized by a humiliating ordeal. The movie poignantly illustrates how loyalties can shift in the face of ambition and personal gain.​
In the end, "Nango Gaun नाङ्गो गाउँ" delivers a powerful message about the complexities of rural life. The stark reality is portrayed through Pasang Tamang's character, In my opinion it left metaphorically and literally naked, as villagers prioritize their own interests over the greater good.​
