Nischal Basnet is a Nepalese film director and actor who primarily appears in Nepali language films. He made his directorial debut in 2012 with the crime-thriller Loot and wrote screenplay for the film.[1] The film focuses on Hakku Kale (played by Saugat Malla), who masterminds a bank robbery.[2] The film received mixed reviews from the critics, some of whom criticized the script for not being original.[3] According to The Kathmandu Post, the film "changed the discourse of the Nepali film industry".[4] Loot earned 25.5 million Nepalese rupees (approximately US$218,000 in 2019), making it Nepal's highest-grossing film of 2012.[5][6] Basnet went on to win the Dcine Award for Best Debut Director.[7] In 2014, Basnet acted in and produced Ram Babu Gurung's romantic drama Kabaddi.[8] In the film, Basnet plays Bibek, who tries to abduct a gangster's daughter.[9] The same year, Basnet directed the dark comedy Talakjung vs Tulke.[10] The film is set during the Nepalese Civil War, which lasted from 1996 to 2006.[11] Basnet won the Film Critics Society of Nepal Award for Best Director[12] and the National Film Award for Best Director.[13][14] Talakjung vs Tulke was selected as the Nepalese entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 88th Academy Awards, but it was not nominated.[15]
