Nepal, Aug. 10 -- I don't remember watching such a parade of over the top characters in a single film since the time of Govinda and Johnny Lever movies.

I cannot fathom how someone can take the time and energy to write character descriptions like Shyam and Harry-middle-aged, colourful (half) pantsuit-wearing men with bad hair and decaying teeth, who are fast approaching their "expiry date." Yet this is exactly what our lead characters are in Na Eta Na Uta, the latest Nepali wannabe comedy.

With this film, I've come to the conclusion that Nepali comedy writers, especially in visual media, are bullies. Over time, they've proved themselves...
