Kathmandu - Victimised by the sharp censorship of the government, the film Aago was performed deviating itself from its geniun theme. Narayan Puri, the director of this controversial film has decided to bring it back to the screen with its original version. The film based on the armed insurgency was sharply censored by the than government bearing in mind that the story of the film would add fule to the fire. Later it was demonstrated after piercingly edited. Intrestengly, it's all again going to hit the Kathmandu halls.

I had a time yesterday in Biswajyoti Hall at Jamal to watch the re-release of the censored movie AAGO- The fire.
The movie was released some around 5 or 6 years ago when there was an EMERGENCY in Nepal. The contemporary King's Government had seized away the movie's MASTER COPY so yesterday it was displayed through a DVD player. However , the movie as it was itself a strong movie from many aspects , I found myself a worth to watch the movie.

Reasons to censor the movie

• The movie was based on a story related to Nepal Communist Party -Maoist who used to be called as Terrorist at that very time
• An announcement was even made to provide 50,000 to 1,00,000 NP Rupees to them who brings the whole body or the HEAD of 50 leaders of the party
• The EMERGENCY was declared to solve that very Maoist problem
  

These all reasons had made AAGO - The fire to be censored during that time. But from 26th of Magh this movie has been re-released and the director of this movie - Mr. NARAYAN PURI has even gave his words to make a sequeal of this movie AAGO 2 which will present the story after the maoist revolution and PEOPLE's MOVEMENT 2 (Janaandolan 2).

About The Movie

• From the technical aspects - and taking in mind the technology in Nepal during that time, this movie must be said best among all those movies of the time 5 years ago
• No only among the movies before 5 years , in this five years time only few movies must be said to be capable to compete AAGO .
• The movie direction is also praise worthy. I must say Mr. NARAYAN PURI is one of the best directors of NEPAL.
• The only dissatisfaction I had during this re-released movie is some of the scenes which directly take the side of Maoist in Nepal. Being a film this should not have been made . (I hope this wont be repeated in the part 2).
• The ACTION I must say is one of the best aspects of this movie, because the stunts that were made are presented in a realistic and energetic way.
• This movie makes NARAYAN PURI a best director SARANGA SHRESTHA a versatile actress and SUSHIL CHETTRY an angry young man ..

I must say every one should watch this movie at least once (One time again if had watched in the earlier release) ...
