We must say, Nepali cinema is going through a pretty good time. It was just some years back when almost every single of the film released faced a disaster at the box office, but many of the films these days are able to get a fair mass of audiences to the theaters. Thanks to some young minds who are here to bring a good change in the industry. Having said that, we also can’t deny the fact that our films still have a very long way to go. Talking particularly about ‘love-making’ scenes, we do not have much, or to be honest, nothing to boast about in this area. The ‘love-making’ scenes or simply say, bed scenes, in our films are horrible. Most of them are either emotionless or plain vulgar. Our film-makers still have to learn the art of mastering a good romantic scene. But the scene we have today is pretty good. This one’s from 2012 film ‘Soongava: Dance of the Orchids’ starring Deeya Maskey and Nisha Adhikari. The film directed by Subarna Thapa was Nepal’s official entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 86th Academy Awards.
