Career

In 2019, Thakuri debuted as a film actress in Diwakar Bhattarai's sports drama Captain, where she starred alongside Anmol K.C., and Priyanka Mv.[2][3] Her performance received mixed responses from critics. Diwakar Pyakurel of Online Khabar observed, "[she] ... plays her role well; but she cannot powerfully reflect varying emotions and moods of the story".[2] For her performance, she was nominated for the Best Debut Actor (Female) award from the Dcine Awards and the NEFTA Film Awards.[4][5][unreliable source?]

The same year, She starred in Ram Babu Gurung's romantic comedy Kabaddi Kabaddi Kabaddi.[6] The film set the record for the highest-grossing opening of a film in Nepal.[7][8][9] Her performance in the film was widely praised, one critic wrote: "In comparison to her previous role in Captain, Thakuri has improved a lot. In the movie, she is put in different emotional situations, but she skillfully and realistically reflects them in her facial expression, gesture and dialogues".[10] In 2021, she signed for Pravin Jha's December Falls, where she will appear with Aaryan Sigdel.[11] The same year, she was awarded the National Navdurga Award for her contribution to the Nepali cinema, alongside nine other actresses.[12]
