Some of the most anticipated films failed to do as expected this time. For example, Upendra Subba-directed film 'Jaari 2' earned only Rs 62.417 crore.

Like other years, 2082 was not as expected for filmmakers. Because only a limited number of films were able to raise investment and make a profit. According to the data released by the Film Development Board from 1 Baisakh to 18 Chaitra, 56 films were released this year. How many of the 56 films made a profit?
In 2081, the film 'Purna Bahadur Ko Sarangi' directed by Saroj Poudel led the business. The film did a business of over 480 million rupees at the Nepali box office alone.
This time, the film 'Paran' directed by Deepak Acharya was at the forefront of the business. So, this time, there were a total of 4 films that earned over 100 million rupees - Paran, Aabat Aama, Jerry On Top and Oonko Sweater.
Out of that, 'Paran' did a business of 176.844 thousand 10 rupees. 'Paraan', which was released on 14 Kartik, had a weak business for a week. After that, the film's business graph started to rise. Like 'Purna Bahadur Ko Sarangi', a formula worked in this film too. Videos and reels of the audience returning from the hall crying went viral. After that, the number of people watching the film and crying increased. This film was based on the relationship between a father and son. Even though it was a story of a deep relationship, this film was able to attract the audience to the hall.
The film 'Jerry on Top' directed by Suyog Gurung, released on 31 Asoj, earned Rs 122.84 crore. This was the first film in Anmol KC's career to earn over Rs 100 million. 'Aabat Aama' directed by Chandra Pant, which was released on 16 Magh, earned Rs 130 million. Like 'Purna Bahadur Ko Sarangi' and 'Paraan', this film also took the help of reels and videos of the audience crying to attract the audience. Since it is a story of a mother-son relationship, the general audience related to this story.
The film 'Jerry on Top' directed by Suyog Gurung, released on 31 Asoj, earned Rs 122.84 crore. This was the first film in Anmol KC's career to earn over Rs 100 million.
The film 'Wool Sweater' directed by Naveen Chauhan, released on 26 Baisakh, earned a business of Rs 114.192 crore. This film, shot in East Panchthar, was based on an inter-caste love story.
Some of the expected films could not do business as expected this time. For example, the film 'Jari 2' directed by Upendra Subba earned only Rs 62.417 crore. This is the sequel to 'Jari'. 'Jaari' had a business of over 170 million. The original story of 'Jaari' was highly liked. But the story of 'Jaari 2' could not attract a significant audience. 'Balidan', which is considered a highly anticipated film, also could not attract much audience. The film had a total business of 51 million.
Dayahang Rai is considered one of the most successful actors in the last few years. This time, none of his films, including 'Jaari 2', in which he played the lead role, could succeed in business. 'Rimai' did a business of only 138 million 76 thousand, while 'Varishtha Balaram' did a business of only 260 million 79 thousand 400. 'Mirmire' did a business of only 338 million 56 thousand. 'Mahabhoj' earned only 68 million 86 thousand 700.
Actor Pradeep Khadka's 'Alone' also failed to do any magic at the box office. The film did only 46 lakh 87 thousand. The film 'Narasimha Avatar' starring actor Rajesh Hamal, who made a comeback after almost a decade, also failed to do magic at the theater. The film did a total of 182 lakh 87 thousand.
The film 'Hello Kashiram', starring the once famous actor Dilip Rayamajhi, earned only 34 thousand 200.
Although the business was not as expected, 'Bhutan' directed by Binod Poudel gave a new lease of life to the Nepali film industry.
According to the board's data, 37 films released did less than one crore. Therefore, this year was not satisfactory for the Nepali film industry.
