Cast

Abhimanyu Dixit of The Kathmandu Post wrote, "The premise of Ghamad Shere had everything going for it. It's the kind of story that is almost never told in Nepali cinema, with a cast consisting of famous faces, a seasoned cinematographer and a director with many hits under his belt. It had a strong socio-political message and a handful of brilliant scenes. But even all this couldn't save the film". Diwakar Pyakurel of OnlineKhabar wrote, "Both as a satire and a love story, this movie has raised concerns over some genuine issues. Thanks to the interesting plot and convincing acting, the movie turns out to be a good watch. If the team succeeds in avoiding some of the formulaic errors, it could produce better movies in the days to come". Sunny Mahat of The Annapurna Express wrote, "Basnet and Khadka don't lack fans. And watching the two together on screen could be a treat for them. For others, the film is marginally below average and you may want to rethink how much spare time you have for it".
