About Draupadi Movie
Nepali cinema is set to welcome a unique and thought-provoking film, Draupadi (Nepali: द्रौपदी), written, directed, and co-produced by Rishi Raj Acharya. Scheduled for release on March 21, 2025 (Chaitra 8, 2081), the movie sheds light on the disappearing tradition of polyandry in Nepal’s Humla district.
Draupadi explores the ancient practice of polyandry, a system where a woman has multiple husbands, once common in remote areas of Nepal. As modernization progresses, this tradition is fading, and the film aims to depict its historical and cultural significance. Director Rishi Raj Acharya spent two months researching the subject in Humla, Dolpa, and Mustang before bringing the story to life. The movie was filmed over 44 days and is now in post-production.
The film features a talented cast, including Ashwini Shahi, Ravi Oad, Jlson Adhikari, Sujata Timalsina, Kabiraj Bham, Bishnu Thadrai, Prakash Gyawali, Suraj Adhikari, Sita Baudel, and Rishi Raj Acharya himself. The film boasts a skilled crew, ensuring a high-quality cinematic experience, with cinematography by Mohan Kumar “Jhillu,” editing by Anil Kumar Maharjan, music composed by Saurav Sharma Bashyal, production design by Zenez Media Nepal, and art direction by Bijay Acharya. The film is produced under the banner of R.B Movies.
The journey of Draupadi began with its official announcement on July 21, 2024. The first look poster was revealed on October 3, 2024, followed by the teaser launch on January 20, 2025. The official trailer was released on March 7, 2025, building anticipation among movie enthusiasts.
With a unique storyline and extensive research behind it, Draupadi is expected to generate interest both in Nepal and internationally. It will not only entertain but also educate audiences about a rarely discussed aspect of Nepali culture. Mark your calendars for March 21, 2025, and witness a compelling cinematic experience that bridges tradition and modernity.
Draupadi only earned NRs 2.5–3 lakh on its opening weekend and was a disaster at the box office.
