Tale is based on the socio-economic aspect of the western region of Nepal. The story, which extends over a decade, been recently presented using authentic elements like the use of Nepali Khas language, lahure custom, superstition, jaar system (when wife elopes, now husband pays moneys to ex-husband), pakha sarne (girl is kept in a barn during her menstruation), use of paisa client goods, et cetera.
There are umpteen things going on from the film and Rishi Raj Acharya like a director has produced only a mediocre film. His direction is not crisp. The narration is typical if the first-half revolves around the same old problems of the Nepali society, while Jhilkey brings thrill and adventure in the second-half. As the film develops, it can do have some areas of suspense as well as humour to entertain the potential audience.And Suntalilai Bhagai Lagyo Jhilkeley is a story of a bygone old era, nevertheless the film fails to keep the audience to that era. The setting of village looks as if that of today’s and the costumes worn, except that of the lead characters, are not so convincing either.
