Prem Geet 2 (Template:Lang-en) is a Nepalese romantic comedy drama film and a musical released by Aasusen Films Production with HighlightsNepal, Kindle Cine Studio, and Tauwa Creation. It is the sequel to Prem Geet (2016).

Prem Geet 2 premiered in major cities including Kathmandu, Butwal and Pokhara in early July 2017, and was released across Nepal on 28 July 2017.[citation needed] The film received mostly positive feedback, with praise for the performance of lead actor Pradeep Khadka as well as cinematography, background score, and original soundtrack, but it also attracted criticism for its screenplay.[1][2][3] The film was the third highest-grossing Nepali film of 2017 and one of Nepal's highest-grossing films, with a total box office collection of over रु8.5 cr ($1.16M as of 2020).

Plot

One day, while traveling to Kagbeni, he meets Geet (Aaslesha Thakuri), and he begins to follow her, trying to learn more about her. They agree to pretend they are getting married, since both are being pressured by their families to get married. Eventually, they fall in love.

However, Geet was born in Myanmar and raised in Thailand before running away to return to her grandmother's motherland of Nepal. Now that she and Prem are dating, they must travel from Burma back to Martha, a rural village in Mugu, Nepal. Prem must meet Geet's family and convince them that he is the right one for Geet.

Production

Pre-production

After the success of Prem Geet in 2016, the director and producer announced that they were producing a sequel. Director Ram Sharan Pathak said "The film is a love story. We have this challenge to make the film better than its predecessor, and we will be working for that."[4] The film was said to be starring Pradeep Khadka and Aaslesha Thakuri in the lead roles. The film was expected to be in theatres around September 2017.[4]

Casting

After announcing the film, the director chose Pradeep Khadka and Aaslesha Thakuri for the lead roles. Originally, Puja Sharma was chosen for the role of Geet, but she declined.[citation needed] There were doubts that the film would be successful at the box office but the director continued to work and told audiences, "I've done my best in the film, so if it fails in the box office, I wouldn't mind."[5]

Filming

The filming of Prem Geet 2 began on December 12 and the film was shot in Nepal, Thailand and Myanmar.[6]

Cover song competition

The director of the film announced a competition for the best cover song of Kahani Yo Prem Geetko. The award was given on the special occasion of the 51st day of the release. Ten people were nominated for the award and it was won by Neeta Thapa Magar and Badal Thapa, who received a prize of one lakh each.[7][8][9]

Release

Prem Geet 2 was released in Nepal on 28 July 2017, and then on 1 August 2017 it was released worldwide.[10] After the release of the film in Nepal, the cinema was running house full in 80 different Nepalese cinemas. To surprise the audience, the cast of the films were watching the film with the audience on the release date.[11] The trailer for the film, which ran for two minutes, was released on June 18, 2017 in a trailer launch function.[12][13]

Critical reception

My Republica wrote "Hope for true love, hope for better films" and told the audience that the film is worth watching and that it was a landmark for the Nepalese movie industry. However, it also criticized Aaslesha Thakuri's acting, saying that her dialogue looked fake and sloppy and that she also needed to work on her acting skills.[14]

Controversies

Nepalese actress Barsha Raut leaked some images of Prem Geet 2, which saddened the director. The producer of the film told Ekantipur, "The images are crucial ones. They are from the film’s most seminal moments, and they hold all the suspense. We are sad about the incident."[15] The image that leaked showed the main character's (Prem) fight scene, which was one of the most important scenes of the film.

While promoting the film, Aaslesha Thakuri had an allegedly staged wardrobe malfunction while dancing. When interviewed about it, she cried.[16]

After the trailer's release on YouTube, it received more dislikes than likes. However, it was also the #1 trending in Nepal. This led to speculations that someone paid to get the dislikes.[17] Most of the dislikes came from foreign countries, leading to beliefs that there was a plot to bring the film down.
