Despite its short history, the Nepali movie industry has its own place in the cultural heritage of Nepal. Nepalese films or Nepalese cinema refers to films made in Nepali language within Nepal and beyond. Most Nepalese films are narrative and were shot on 16-millimeter film during the film era,[1][2][3] which are mostly recorded digitally now.
The first Nepali-language film was Satya Harischandra, which was released in 1951 in Darjeeling, India, and produced by D. B. Pariyar. The first Nepali-language movie made in Nepal was Aama, which was released in 1964 produced by the Nepalese government. However, the first Nepali-language movie made by the Nepalese private sector was Maitighar, which starred Mala Sinha and was released in 1966. The first color Nepali-language movie was Kumari.[4][5]
