In 'Magne Raja', which portrays the ups and downs of Kuber Sharma's life, the weakness of the screenplay has failed to attract the audience.

You will definitely have this! Like, you want to tell a story. However, while talking about the character, other events, you forget what the story was about. Or let's say you leave the original story and get lost. Then it is not difficult at all, to finish the story! This is what happened in the 'Magne Raja' running in the hall.
The story of 'Magne Raja' is about an ordinary character Kuber Sharma . Kuber Sharma has become, artist Kedar Prasad Ghimire, 'aka Magne' . In the life of a heavily indebted beggar, there is nothing else to do but escape. Villagers come to the door of the house, asking for the debt they have taken from their father-in-law, and the beggar knocks on the kulelam.
It is only a beggar's daydream to take out a thick bill from a big suitcase full of money. In the advertisement, they only keep asking and running away. In this way, while running away, one day the hand of a beggar - Gaadhan . Now, what kind of changes will the funeral bring in the life of the beggar? The movie 'Magne Raja', directed by Rishi Lamichhane, is the story of this Kuber character who dreams of becoming rich and what follows.
The plot of the film is very interesting, a person drowning in debt suddenly becomes rich. Aha! All the poor became rich like this ? What would have been amazing. But, where is the reality?
But, the film has such a power, where such a world is built, the characters, the events seem real to us . However, if the screenplay becomes weak, we have to believe in that world. The same is the problem of the begging king . When the screenplay is weak, the ups and downs in the life of 'Magne Raja' do not seem so believable. Like a
, the grief of a beggar in a village, his relationship with his mother flows beautifully in the story. As the begging city enters, Mayor Dhan Bahadur (Shishir Wangdel) is forced into the film to create conflict in the story. The Mayor's character is flawed in the establishment, the begging king .
Now after the mayor came, politics will be added. Due to not paying attention to character establishment, this character appears in the film only when the conflict is needed in the story . Again, this character is not very new. Dhan Bahadur Mayor of Kantipur. It seems cliché to connect the social network Facebook, Dodger case as soon as the mayor is called! If the reading of the story had been known to dissolve this character in the story, even the clichéd subject would have become a strong satire . Other events in the
film seem to have been forcibly connected to Mayor Dhan Bahadur. For example, property laundering, the event that the mayor of Kantipur demolished the beggar's luxury house shortly after giving notice, The subplots from co-operatives to meter-bagging victims and election scandals, instead of advancing the story of the demanding king, make it look ridiculous . If the screenplay does not know how to weave these topics, the audience is not tied to the film .
is fun, Aryan Sigdel's character is shown once in the middle while showing a tug-of-war between Mayor Dhan Bahadur and Magne. But, for a long time, this character is not seen anywhere in the film . Why and where did the character come from in the film? The background doesn't reveal much . Until then, it can be easily guessed that this character is only shown to be stuck somewhere in the end, such as management after a disaster! While telling the story of Kuber, this character has been used to successfully convey the story of the 'beggar king' who got confused towards politics and love. This character's entrance is also used in a predictable way. The dialogues of the
film are also not very complex . There are dialogues mixed with sarcasm in some scenes, but in most of the scenes, the characters are only speaking big dialogues. There is more use of dialogue that does not fit with the character's world, events, struggles, which reflects the exaggeration of the dialogue .
Again after dialogue, 'Gadapp' and the story told by the demanding king when he introduces himself are also presented in the scene in a way that is jarring. The most striking aspect of this film is the use of sound. So loud sound is used throughout the film, that it only creates a crackle . In particular, it cannot lead to the character's mood. Therefore, the sound of the film sounds very different from the rhythm and pace of the story.
In particular, this film could have shown the class gap prevalent in Nepali society and its effect on the lives of the people. The story of greed for money could also be told in a powerful manner. However, weak screenplay, weak direction has left the film in the middle of political debates like 'Right to Reject' and 'Right to Select'. How to tell the story and how to end the
? Director's decision is . However, leaving the path that the story leads to, 'Magne Raja' has turned at the end . After watching 'Magne Raja', which is confused on the surface of the subject, this much can be said, the film is not caught in the political debate, but in a weak screenplay!
