Hamro Team: In a Class of Its Own

[Pre-Script: Sorry, we've been extremely busy and out of sight. But we are definitely not going away. We are coming up with new and exciting stories. Thanks for standing by! :) ]

Talking about stories, Nepalese entertainment has changed forever in the last few months. First feature Nepalese film to be entirely shot overseas: MayaMa released in Australia(filmed in the same country) last week. Independent filmmakers are on rise from America and UK. And around the same time, one of the most awaited Nepalese TV shows of all times, Hamro Team is here!  Funded by UK Aid among others, Hamro Team comes as a product of a project which has successfully made TV shows in over 50 developing countries. The goal of the project overlooked by an INGO called SFCG(Search For Common Grounds) Nepal has been to influence youth and inspire them for good of society using sports. Directed by Bhushan Dahal, this show brings a lots of new faces and talents to the modern Nepalese entertainment media: Illam Dixit, Reecha Sharma and Sauram Tuladhar to name a few. Best thing about the show for me would be the way the way the changing Nepalese society has been depicted. For months, Hamro Team had been the talk of the nation. After being featured in almost every notable magazine, newspaper and websites, expectations were high so the pressure was on for the show to live upto the expectations.


                  Though very excited, I was skeptical of the show especially because it had been quite a while since I watched a Nepalese TV show and the memories of Nepalese TV show were unfortunately not that pretty. As I went watching the show, I started being guilty for being skeptical. Hamro Team HAD GOT IT! Of course it wouldn't compare to your hollywood tv series but it was an amazing feat for the Nepalese entertainment. Cinematography was well done and dialogues were simply down to earth, fit to time and realistic ( i like how they let the mistakes happen!) New faces seen in the series did their part. Overall it was a good show. It is to see if the story catches on with other aspects but we certainly hope so and wish them well.


               In Nepal you can watch it on Kantipur TV on Thursdays @ 9pm. And for people outside of Nepal and those without access to satellite TV, you can watch it online here:
