There is a scene in the film 'Chino'. When the main character Lakshmi (Subhadra Adhikari) is aching for revenge for her husband who was burnt to ashes, she screams 'Rate Rate'. Why? In this film directed by Tulsi Ghimire, the villain Raate Kainla kills her husband in the hope of getting Lakshmi. During the chase, the house catches fire. Lakshmi, who managed to escape with two children, returns to the burnt house. She screams loudly, vowing to take revenge for her husband who was burnt to ashes.

This scene is presented in a very exaggerated manner in the film. Looking at the story, events and the mood of the characters in the film, this exaggeration seemed natural in 'Chino' at that time.

But, what if a character in a film speaks loudly in Subhadra's style without any such incident, and brings that same emotion to his face? Because the audience cannot understand how the character reached that point of anger, the audience is unable to connect with the character in the film. As a result, the dialogue spoken by the character is nothing but exaggeration.

In Tulsi Ghimire's new film 'Pahad', when the character Tara scolds those who are cutting trees, not only her acting but also her spoken dialogue is heard loudly. The reason is that until then, the film has not established why Tara is angry about cutting trees.

It is not that the audience does not like exaggeration. The audience has liked the exaggeration presented in 'Dhurandhar'. However, the director has the ability to balance it in the narration. However, Tulsi, who has come to the directorship after a long time, has not been able to identify it with the narration. Due to the inability to connect the subtle subject matter in this type of story, the audience does not find themselves in the world of 'Pahaad' that Tulsi is trying to create. The film does not attract the attention of the audience with the same old dialogues, narration and exaggeration.

Although the story of the film is amazing. The pain of those who leave the mountains and go abroad to earn. Leaving the village/city to earn has become the destiny of Nepalis. On top of that, the pain of those who leave and the hope of those who wait! Tulsi has tried to include the dual aspects in the film. Tara (Panchami Ghimire), who wants to do something in the 'Pahaad', is in the mountains. After the youth go to earn, the 'Pahaad' is empty. There is a shortage of water. However, Madan Kaka (Madan Krishna Shrestha) has the solution to solve this problem of the village. However, the youth of the village are forced to go abroad. Arjun (Arun Chhetri) also has to stay in the village, but due to the lack of family and to meet the expenses, he has no option but to go abroad.

Director Ghimire has told the story of the compulsion of those who go abroad in search of employment and opportunities and the homes, villages and families that are being emptied by it. In that sense, this film stands on the ground of contemporary pain.

However, the 'mountain' has become flat because all these aspects are not taken up in the story. For example, there is a shortage of water in the village. Tara's own father is doing politics over water. That is why Tara has a fight with her own father. On the other hand, there is the story of Arjun who goes to Mumbai. Not only his, but also the story of the characters he meets in Mumbai. The character played by actor Bipin Karki has been given a place in the film for a long time. When all the characters are given equal time in the film, there is confusion about whose main story is.

Until the interval, the story is the story of Tara, who cannot tolerate oppression and injustice in the mountains and rises to fight back. However, after the interval, as the story reaches Mumbai, the story that Arjun has followed shifts towards the character of Bipin. At that time, it seems that the story is about Bipin or not? Thus, the director seems confused about what the main character and conflict of this film are.

It is not that the stories of all the characters cannot be told one after the other in this way. However, if another character is shown on the screen without being able to empathize with the story and struggle of one character, which character will bind the audience? In this way, the 'mountain' has been lost while spending more time on the establishment and struggle of all the characters. Which has made the story of the film long. On top of that, there are so many long dialogues and unnecessary scenes in the film that they could have been shortened and given a beautiful shape in the editing. For example, the scene where actors Bipin, Arun and Rabindra are walking and talking on the beach!
