Why should you watch Wada No 6? For its well-rounded story, comedy to tickle your funny bone and an ensemble of talented cast. Set in the backdrop of Nepal’s decade-long Maoist revolution, Wada No 6 is a well-packaged comedy.A full-on entertainer, this directorial venture of Ujjwal Ghimire has been named after its setting — Ward No 6 of a village in Nuwakot. It begins with a present day kidnapping, and then turns back to 2058 BS to narrate the story of five friends of this ward.Netra Prasad (Sita Ram Kattel ‘Dhurmuse’) — always searching for a girl to get married, Magne Bhudho (Kedar Ghimire) — who doesn’t stop playing cards even after hearing that his wife has eloped, Birkhe (Jitu Nepal) — a tailor rejected by his girlfriend because he is a ‘Dalit’, Daya (Dayahang Rai) — a drunkard, and Deep Kumar Sharma (Deepak Raj Giri) — a jobless college graduate — are always together. After Deep returns to the village from Kathmandu, he is given a job to teach English to Kaji’s (Nir Shah) daughter Sushila(Priyanka Karki) — a two-time SLC fail. And the normal lives of these people turn upside down after Deep and Sushila fall in love. This turn of events has been smoothly presented — with a love story at the centre, Wada No 6 has captured the issues of friendship, caste-based discrimination, police-Maoist conflict during the Civil War and its impact on innocent people, the life of revolutionists post the peace agreement. These issues have been raised effortlessly — they sync well with the main storyline. The characters are well written, and every actor has fully justified his/her role.
