Directed by Simosh Sunuwar and penned by Pradeep Bharadwaj, Jante Bakhro premiered on June 6, 2025 (Jestha 23, 2082) in Nepal and abroad. The film centers around the traditional "Jante Bakhro"-a ceremonial goat feast served to the groom's wedding party-and the chaos and cultural comedy that ensue as a rural village prepares a high-stakes wedding .

Saugat Malla leads as Kamal, a sensitive yet steadfast young man who chooses to stay in his village rather than pursue opportunities abroad. His pragmatic approach to life and family responsibility drives the story, as wedding preparations spiral into hilarious misunderstandings and social rivalries .

Asif Shah plays a cunning, charming friend whose well-intended meddling adds layers of comedic tension. Garima Sharma delivers depth as Rama, Kamal's strong-willed counterpart, challenging traditional gender roles with poise.
