Movies from Nepali are not very often shown in this part of the world. Often the language is in between, as there are no subtitles available. That's why I couldn't see the movie Loot when it was around earlier this year. Fortunately now the movie was shown with subtitles.
The movie is about a daydreamer in Kathmandu. His father wants him to follow the way of business, but he prefers to be a creative writer. At last the parents agree to send him to a school in the UK. They use all their savings and even take a loan. But then it appears that the money is lost, as the school was blacklisted. -- He tries to take his life, but is cast away on an island. Here he tries to live his own life; he manages to survive and actually succeeds to grow his own vegetables. A success, as his father predicted he would always be depending on him. But he realises that the success is only worthy of that name when he can share it.
In the meantime his parents also develop. His father realises, that the boy needed to make his own way. The parents and the boy's girl-friend to publish his writings as a manifest. The book becomes a tremendous success.
The morale of the movie is obvious, but the plot is not so simplistic as a short resume sounds.
The movie is very nice, beautifully shot and has a message that is now more important for Nepal than anytime before.
I want to be gracious and will give it 9/10 together with unlimited praise to director Subash Koirala.
