Released nearly six decades ago, Maitighar holds a special place in Nepali cinema as the first film made under a private banner—Sumonanjali Films Pvt. Ltd. It stars Bollywood legend Mala Sinha as Maya, and Chidambar Prasad Lohani as Mohan. The music, composed by Jaidev, is nothing short of magical. Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, Manna Dey, Usha Mangeshkar—voices that shaped the golden era of South Asian music—join Nepali icons like Narayan Gopal, Prem Dhoj Pradhan, CP Lohani, and Aruna Lama. The soundtrack alone is reason enough to watch the film.

Tt’s a black-and-white film from the 60s.
