Paul Shah’s ‘Aa Bata Aama’ Overtakes Anmol KC’s ‘Jerry on Top’ at the Box Office

The world of Nepali Movies is buzzing with excitement as the latest box office reports reveal a major shift in the rankings of this year's highest-grossing films. According to recent updates from TFN (The Film Nepal) circles, Paul Shah’s latest blockbuster is making historic waves.

The Battle for the Top Spot

For a long time, Anmol KC’s Jerry on Top held the second position for the highest-grossing Nepali Movie of the year with a collection of NPR 12.32 Crore. However, Paul Shah’s Aa Bata Aama has officially crossed the 12.23 Crore mark as of its 30th day and is projected to overtake Jerry on Top within the next 24 hours.

This marks a career-best collection for Paul Shah, solidifying his status as a "Superstar" in the eyes of fans and distributors alike. In a recent interview, Paul remained humble, stating, "This isn't just about Paul or Anmol; it is a win for the entire Nepali Film Industry."

Upcoming Clashes: Anmol KC vs. Deepak Raj Giri

If you follow The Film Nepal, you know that the Dashain festival is the biggest battlefield for filmmakers. News is emerging that Bhuwan KC is preparing to release Batulo Jun, starring Anmol KC, during next year’s Dashain.

This sets the stage for a massive showdown against the veteran Deepak Raj Giri and his team. While Anmol’s previous clash (Chhadke 2 vs. Chhakka Panja 4) saw Deepak Raj Giri taking a massive lead, Bhuwan KC is confident that Batulo Jun is a much stronger contender. The teaser and official release date for Batulo Jun are expected to be announced on Anmol KC's birthday (Chaitra 17).

‘Paral ko Aago’ Gains International Momentum

Another Nepali Movie making headlines is Paral ko Aago. Following the release of its first-look poster featuring Saugat Malla, Suhana Thapa, and Prakash Saput, the film's international rights are selling fast. Producer Sushil Pokhrel confirmed that the US and Canada rights have already been sold after distributors saw the raw footage and were impressed by the high production quality. The film is set to hit theaters on Baisakh 11.

New Challenges for Actresses: Roshni Karki and Usha Upreti

Roshni Karki in 'Laalimaa': Actress Roshni Karki shared her experience preparing for her role as a sex worker in the upcoming film Laalimaa (releasing Phagun 29). To bring authenticity to her performance, she met and interviewed several real-life sex workers to understand their pain and motivations.

Usha Uppreti’s Dilemma: While Usha is celebrating the success of Aa Bata Aama, she is reportedly feeling "confused" about her role in the sequel. Director Chandra Pant has confirmed Paul Shah for Aa Bata Aama 2 but stated that no other cast members are guaranteed, as the sequel will follow a fresh storyline.
