'Jhola' is a Nepali film based on Krishna Dharawasi's short story "Jhola". It has depicted Nepali society about the Sati tradition that was prevalent until the 1920s. The film has beautifully presented the issues of violence against women.
The plot develops with the death of Garima's husband in which she has to immolate herself upon her husband's death, typically on his funeral pyre. She is supposed to be burnt alive with the dead body of her husband according to the Sati tradition. However, she escapes the fire and hides in a cave. The help of her son fascinates the audience. Almost all the scenes seem realistic and historical.
What a beautiful cinematography it is! I think costumes of the artists and the leaf music in traditional tunes touch the heart of everyone present in the cinema hall. Garima's natural appearance, her role and her acting are spellbinding which add to the beauty of the movie.
This is a must watch movie. Don't miss it!
