Poster looks like ‘C’ Grade Hindi Horror movie, Story sounds like Documentary and acting looks like some amateur home video.
That was what I experienced while watching – “Finding Yeti”.
Released last week, the movie ‘Yeti Ko Khojima‘ is currently running in around 14 major screens within the Kathmandu Valley.
An adventure story of four young guys in search of Yeti in the Himalayan region of Nepal seems pretty enthralling but the way the story is presented on the screen completely puts your mind off. With regular item numbers and irrelevant subplots in the movie, makes the watching a painful experience.
Three friends Devan, Krishna and Mohit meets in a bar in Kathmandu after Devan returns from foreign land along with his Foreigner Girlfriend Lusi.
There they encounter Kamini, a bar dance girl. All four plan for an adventurous trip to Himalayas, while Deven had a secret mission of finding Yeti and selling it to the foreigners. While traveling through the tough hills, dangerous gorges and caves the group encounters various situations. They get cheated by a group claiming to safeguard the Himalayan regions. They fight against the tribal jungle people. At the same time they get well mingled with Gurung villagers singing and dancing along with them. Helping them out and playing their ethnic games. Everything seems to look like a joyride until Yeti appears.
Deven reveals his secret mission, everyone backs out. Krishna, Mohit, Kamini and Lusi saves Yeti from falling into hands of foreigners. While saving Yeti, they had to fight against different people, above all their own friend Deven. In the course of run, Lusi and Kamini gets killed.
Overall, its a good attempt by the director to take upon fresh subject but its execution as regular Nepali Movie style made the movie pretty bad experience.
