What follows is a tense and emotionally charged journey
Popular Nepali film Missing: Keti Harayeko Suchana is set to premiere in cinemas across Bangladesh from July 18, 2025.
The film will be showcased at all Star Cineplex locations under the SAFTA film exchange agreement.
It will be imported by Show Motion Limited in exchange for the Bangladeshi film No Dorai.
Mesbah Uddin Ahmed, Senior Manager of Marketing at Star Cineplex, revealed details about the upcoming release.
According to him, screenings will take place in all Star Cineplex branches nationwide.
Directed by Dipendra Gauchan, the film stars Srishti Shrestha and Najir Husen in the lead roles.
The Nepali-language film has drawn widespread praise for its heartfelt depiction of cultural heritage and complex emotional journeys.
The story unfolds around two individuals who first connect through a dating app. They agree to meet at a local café.
However, a spur-of-the-moment decision leads Ram (Najir Husen) to spike Sita’s (Shristi Shrestha) drink and abduct her.
What follows is a tense and emotionally charged journey that takes them from the hills to the southern plains of Nepal.
The abduction, rather than resulting in disaster, evolves into something unexpected.
Initially terrified, Sita gradually begins to lower her guard.
Ram introduces her to the beauty of Janakpur.
As they travel through villages and landscapes, she develops a deepening appreciation for the local traditions and people.
Despite the dark beginnings of their encounter, a romantic connection blossoms between the two.
They belong to different ethnic backgrounds, which adds a layer of complexity to their bond.
Yet the film carefully navigates this cross-cultural romance without reducing it to stereotypes.
Missing: Keti Harayeko Suchana has earned recognition in Nepal for its layered storytelling, rich visuals, and cultural depth.
Its transition to the Bangladeshi big screen marks a significant moment for regional cinema under the SAFTA agreement.
The film offers more than just a love story. It paints a vivid portrait of Nepal’s folk customs, emotional landscapes, and the societal divides that shape its people.
Audiences in Bangladesh will now have the opportunity to experience this unique cinematic journey that bridges cultures and challenges assumptions.
The film has already left its mark in Nepal with strong word of mouth and packed halls.
Its arrival in Bangladesh is expected to attract viewers drawn to cross-border stories and fresh perspectives.
Many have expressed excitement about the release in local cinemas.
One commented: “Finally something different. Sooo tired of all the formulaic stuff, can’t wait to see this.”
