‘Batulo Jun’ Sees Strong Opening at Major Multiplexes Across Nepal

KATHMANDU: Bhuwan KC-directed film ‘Batulo Jun’ opened nationwide on Thursday, with encouraging theatre occupancy reported at major multiplex chains and cinemas in key cities.

The film’s opening could benefit from the Tihar holiday on Thursday, followed by the weekend on Saturday and Sunday, giving it an opportunity to attract more moviegoers.

As of the time of reporting, major multiplex chains and theatres in key cities were reporting packed occupancy on Thursday.

However, occupancy at cinemas in western Nepal and second-tier cities appeared comparatively lower.

The film has been receiving positive responses since the release of its teaser and trailer. Whether that initial response translates into sustained theatre occupancy remains to be seen.

Starring Anmol KC and Princy Khatiwada in the lead roles, Batulo Jun presents a love story set across two timelines.
