The first thing that you need to be clear about this week’s Kollywood release Katha Kathmandu is that it is not about sex, not at all. The producers have not intended to sell sex in the movie, though it might be the case in the trailer. It is also not an artistic effort against increasing incidents of violence against women as was claimed by its lead Priyanka Karki.
The movie, rather, is a documentary-style presentation of three models of psychological behaviour that people often associate with love and relationships. From a Freudian perspective, the three stories represent the id, the ego and the superego. If the makers of the movie were able to establish a proper connection among the three stories, it would have been an exemplary feature film with a potential to buck the trend. The movie misses the chance as the link among the stories is as loose as a cobweb.
