Kathmandu. The Nepali film Aa Bata Aama, which is set to release nationwide this Friday, has successfully passed the censorship process and received a Universal Certificate from the Central Film Censorship Board.

Songs from the film, including “Laija Khabar Ae Hawa” and “Jandai Chu Nau Danda Katera,” have also received positive feedback and have collectively surpassed 3 million views on YouTube, further adding to the film’s growing popularity.
Produced under the banner of Arya Entertainment, Aa Bata Aama is directed by Chandra Pant, who also wrote the story and screenplay. The film stars Bipana Thapa, Paul Shah, Pradeep Rawat, Usha Upreti, Simran Pant, among others.
With strong emotional appeal and positive early reactions, Aa Bata Aama is expected to resonate deeply with family audiences when it hits theaters this Friday.
