Featured review
The Nepalese movie Jhola, directed by Yadav Kumar Bhattarai and released in 2014, is an adaptation of Krishna Dharabasi's short story of the same name. It is a poignant portrayal of the outdated and inhumane practice of Sati pratha (the tradition where a widow immolates herself on her husband's funeral pyre) in Nepalese society. Set in an unnamed rural village during an era when cultural practices overruled humanity, Jhola is both a tragic and uplifting tale that sheds light on one woman's struggle against societal norms. This is the most favruote movie I have ever seen this stops women violences . Women discrimination and other different problems . Due to this many people learn that sati Partha is illegal in Nepal . This tradition took many lives of women . It is vary good that it is not still used in Nepa.
