Kathmandu

If you dream of a love story where a rich guy loves you more than his life, and he looks like Anmol KC, then Nepali film Dreams is your cup of tea. Otherwise, give it a pass, because you live in the world of reality!

Dreams starts with a chase — a group of bad boys are chasing a girl (Sandhya KC). She is saved by the boy (Anmol). The two becomes friends. The girl loves the boy but the boy doesn’t reciprocate her feeling. The boy, who doesn’t believe in love, falls in love with another spunky girl (Samragyee Rajya Laxmi Shah). From hate to love story, Dreams tells us how Avi and Kavya (Anmol and Shah respectively) fall for each other eventually deepening their love.

The film starts feebly and then, goes unto tell a half-hearted love story of two young lovers.

From the beginning where Avi showcases his heroism, to the larger-than-life love story and exotic backdrop, the film screams Bhuwan KC everywhere, in many ways. He has made a film, beautiful to look at, with beautiful actors, luxurious lifestyle and beautiful locations. However, he has failed as a director. He has made a film that lacks soul. The execution of the superficial script is choppy. The narration doesn’t have a smooth flow. Senior KC has not infused passion in the film rather he has replaced it with dramatic heroism, unreasonable grandeur life of characters and cheesy dialogues.

The film flaunts a bad script where you can’t connect with the characters. And actors add to the agony. Anmol and Shah fall short in their acting. From their dialogue delivery to acting, they are not natural, especially in serious scenes. Anmol is cute and that is it! On the other hand, Shah’s acting is acceptable when she is herself in casual composure, but when emotions kicks in she is odd.

The film has some few genuine humorous lines while the rest are forced. Then there are two romantic numbers — Timi Saamu and Ma Ke Bhanu — shot in beautiful places and a rocking background score, which will keep you entertained in this lengthy and predictable film.
