‘Jatra’ movie review: As funny as it can get

Shatkon Arts In director Pradeep Bhattarai’s Jatra, three men get their hands dirty when a sac of stolen money lands at their doorstep. The three, each of whom are struggling to make ends meet in Kathmandu’s ancient business neighbourbood of Asan, find themselves increasingly affected by the complotting. It’s a classic case of dilemma, a tale of greed and aspiration that has been told numerous times. As is the case with Jatra, once comedy is put into the mix, there’s always a great chance of hilarity getting into the way of narrative traction, something which only the tv novellas of MaHa duo seemed to have cracked the balance of. But Jatra’s jokes are funny and are so in a very refreshing way. Thanks to Rabindra Jha (the one with the funny bone in the trio), you will see the phrase ‘Nai Nabhannu La’ in a completely different light.
