Storyline:
Man Bahadur an ex Gurkha soldier living in Hong Kong with his family has a son named Himal (Dilip Raimajhi), a nephew Suraj (Uttam Pradhan) - whom he has looked after since childhood - and his wife (Mithila Sharma). Himal and Suraj are the same age, and are close. However, there is a great difference in their personalitites. Himal's thinking is westernized; he likes hip-hop music and has friends of poor character. Himal uses drugs occasionally, and is dating a girl named Jenny from the Philippines. He spends most of his time in discos, rather than with his family or at work.On the other hand, Suraj has a good work ethic and (unlike Himal) likes Nepalese music, food and culture. Man Bahadur and his wife are concerned about Himal's behaviour; while he fears their son has escaped their influence, she has not lost hope yet. She thinks if Himal marries a Nepalese girl, everything will be alright.
