Nepali cinema does not have a very long history, but the industry has its own place in the cultural heritage of the country. It is often referred to as “Nepali Chalchitra” . The terms Kollywood and Kallywood are also used, as a portmanteau of “Kathmandu”.
The making of Nepali films is said to have begun with D.B. Pariyar’s Satya Harishchandra, which was the first Nepali-language movie to be shot. It was produced from Kolkata, India and was released on September 14, 1951. Aama was the first film produced in Nepal and was released on October 7, 1964. It was produced by the Information Department of His Majesty’s Government of Nepal . It was directed by Hira Singh Khatri and the lead actors were Shiva Shankar Manandhar and Bhuwan Chand, who are regarded as the first actors in the Nepali film industry.
