Imagine Romeo as a small town love seeking boy. Juliet is a blunt-mouthed girl with full of
passion for life. Just when we opined, Shakespeare's ode to
love in the time of clan wars had been dog-tired as a formula in cinema, Premgeet sets out to restructure the basics.
That could be a stamp of a USP actually, if it was tapped a little right way. With some more effort on script, Sudarshan Thapa's new film would have actually rewritten the history of love story the same way Yug Dekhi Yug Samma and Mero Euta Saathi Chha did for their respective generations. Similar to these films, Premgeet tries mapping a new graph for romance without moving any inches away from every cliche` in the book. And yet again, you can not deny the fact that Premgeet is one of the best romantic tragedies that has come in years.
Prem (Pradeep Khadka) and Geet (Pooja Sharma), young members of two opposing families, fall in love with one another. Due to their families' differences, the parents become sworn enemies and Prem and Geet’s romantic dalliance simply doesn’t fit into the grand scheme of things. How Prem, and Geet, fall in love and become the hunted, with one, big shocking twist is the story of Premgeet. I don't want to reveal the plot, but there are some consciously made-up situations, which lead them to part ways and get together.
Pradeep is the soul and driving element of the film. He looks cool and lovable and it’s impossible to not like him. With Pradeep, this film marks the sudden coming of a bright, super star who has come into his own so early in his acting career. Pradeep’s complemented to a large extent by Pooja Sharma, who tries to give her teeth into Geet, but seems too self-conscious to really make the part her own.
But better than its actors are the film’s direction, cinematography and music. Sudarshan Thapa brings a huge canvas of a film with a subtle direction. His directorial vision shines well with fantastically choreographed scenes of young innocent love and romance. The background score (Alish) & the song choreography (Reenasha Bantawa Rai) of the film, too, are of top notch. But it’s the music (Arjun Pokharel) that largely benefits the movie – the song Ma yesto geet is the anthem of the film and its spirit.
Before culminating, I must say, this is a terrific Nepali adaptation of Romeo And Juliet. But if you’ve ever loved someone unconditionally, then deeper in the heart of its story Premgeet is a saga of love being more important than life and death. I'm going with 2.5 stars out of 5. Extra five for director Sudarshan Thapa , for getting back to where he best fits for - romance.
If you are planing to catch this film, you better stuff yourself with some tissues. It's too emotional a film. Go,watch this. Recommended!!
