Synopsis
The story centers on Prithivi, an honest and patriotic government officer who believes he is descended from King Prithivi Narayan Shah. Guided by his father's teachings to serve the nation, Prithivi strives to work for betterment of society and lessen corruption. However, his integrity causes him more trouble than good, as he is pressurized by his family and society to follow the path of corrupt officers.Through persuasion from a marriage-arranging agent, Roshani ends up marrying Prithivi. Roshani dreams of living abroad, which contrasts sharply with Prithivi's strong patriotic ideologies that prevent him from leaving Nepal. The film uses this scenario, where an honest officer is met with societal disdain, to deliver a satirical critique on the pervasive normalization of corruption in Nepali society.
