The overall setting of the film, touching music and songs and the flow were what makes the film worth a watch. But the film is definitely not for those, who prefer a lot of dance, music and drama.
The first half is filled with comedy, which is quite different from the usual jokes of our comedians; while the second half leads to a series of emotional scenes, shot in some exotic locations of Thimphu and Chelela. The movie also conveys a lot of messages on sacrifice, compassion and love.
Debutant lead actor, Jamyang Jamtsho Wangchuk, who plays the role of Jamyang in the film, and his co-actor Sangay Choden Tenzin, known as Sangay, manage to grip the attention of the audience with their youthful performance. Perhaps that’s what makes the movie even more special.
The love story of the two begins at the coronation park in Thimphu, where they meet for the first time. Jamyang is left dejected, when Sangay suggest they don’t meet anymore, as she has to leave for further studies for more than three years.
While dealing with a tragedy, he sacrifices a lot for his friends and the needy, which some viewers said was “too good to be true.” Jamyang plays a rather naïve character.
Jamyang’s friend Wangyel (Sonam Wangyel) also manages his role very well, giving his full support to his co-actors.
Most viewers were of the opinion that the movie has brought the film industry a step ahead with such experimentation.
The director/producer/actor, Jamyang Jamtsho Wangchuk, said the movie was adapted from the various movies that he grew up watching. “It was inspired by an old Buddhist legend about a Bodhisattva prince Drimed Kundun, who was exiled from his country,” he said.
Although he doesn’t have a formal training in film-making, Jamyang’s plan to improve the film industry had also inspired him to make this movie. “I want to make good and unique movies,” he said. “Which can be presented even in the international festivals,” he added.
