Synopsis

[edit]

Mansarra tells the story of Manrani, a Limbu single mother struggling to raise her son, Tancho, on the outskirts of Kathmandu after her lover leaves for foreign employment. Her life intersects with Dadhiram, a Brahmin man tormented by his infertility, a truth he refuses to acknowledge. After leaving his first wife and marrying a second, Dadhiram discovers the medical truth and struggles with societal shame, leading to tension in his marriage. He attempts to forge a bond with Manrani and her son, who craves a father figure.

As Manrani deals with the uncertainty of her past love, Dadhiram confronts his deepest vulnerabilities and his own family over his identity. The film is a holistic portrayal of migration, cultural differences, and family conflicts, ultimately emphasizing the importance of resilience, cultural acceptance, and confronting the stigma surrounding infertility.[7]

Box Office

[edit]

The film managed to collect रु3.2 crore in the first week of its release in Nepal, entering into profit zone due to low production cost. However, its box office potential was impacted partially owing to clash with Boksi Ko Ghar, which released a week prior.[9] Its final collection is reported as रु4.78 crore.[10]
