The song ‘Makhmali’ from the movie ‘Unko Sweater’, featuring actors Bipin Karki and Miruna Magar, has reached number 1 on YouTube’s music trending chart. Released last Thursday, the song climbed to the top position within three days.
Not just in Nepal, the song is trending in other countries too. As of now, it is ranked first in Malta, second in Qatar, fifth in Australia and the UAE, and 19th in Kuwait.
The video showcases the love story of the movie’s main characters, played by Bipin and Miruna, and is based on the traditional ‘Kauda/Chutka’ music style.
Director Navin Chauhan is hopeful about the movie’s success due to the song’s popularity. “The audience has loved the song, which is what we expected. If they appreciate the movie in the same way, our hopes are even higher,” he shared.
The song is sung by Sujan Chapagain and Sunita Thegim, with lyrics by Chapagain himself.
‘Unko Sweater’ is the first feature film produced by Artmandu Pvt. Ltd. It stars Bipin and Miruna alongside Sunil Pokharel, Mao Tse Gurung, Wilson Bikram Rai, Prem Subba, Alex Pares, and Pariksha Limbu, among others.
