About Movie:

Lukamari is the best Nepali crime action film written and directed by Shree Ram Dahal. The film stars Saugat Malla, Karma Shakya, Bikram Singh Tharu, Surabina Karki, and Rista Basnet in lead roles. The film is slightly based on the Khyati Shrestha murder case of 2009. The movie is regarded as one of the best movies ever created in the Nepalese film industry.

It is counted among the revolutionary movies like Loot, Kabaddi, etc. made in the mid-2010s in Nepal which are credited for introducing a new way of movie-making in Nepal. The movie is made special by the very special role of Saugat Malla the best role played by Karma Shakya in his entire film career till date as claimed by critics and audience. Unfortunately, the movie had to clash with a very much anticipated Bollywood movie that year by Salman Khan named ‘Sultan’ which occupied the major portion of screen and audience attention in Nepal. So it did a lot less income than the movie deserved and than producers expected. But all the movie viewers claim the movie to be a true gem for the Nepalese Movie Industry.
