The plot concerns an election in the Kavrepalanchok District which causes a marital dispute between Dhrubaram (Sitaram Kattel) and Juneli (Kunjana Ghimire) because their elderly father has declared his candidacy. The film received mixed reviews from critics. Senti Virus was pulled from cinema halls due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Nepal after three weeks of screening. Created on a budget of 28.4 million Nepalese rupees (NPR) (US$234,000 (equivalent to $275,500 in 2023)), it grossed 40.8 million NPR. A 15 percent share of the film's profit was donated to construct the Gautam Buddha International Cricket Stadium.
