Director
Saroj Poudel's recent work has brought family, music and migration into the centre of his storytelling. Purna Bahadur Ko Sarangi became the key reference point for his rise as a director, with its focus on a sarangi player and his family connecting the film's emotional stakes to a recognisable cultural tradition. The film set major commercial records in Nepal, giving Poudel a wider platform for character-led drama. His follow-up, Koshedhunga, turns to a rural household affected by foreign employment and a wrongful death sentence abroad. The film was presented in the Nepal International Film Festival's 2026 programme, where Poudel was credited as both director and screenwriter. Poudel's work is still taking shape, but these projects establish an interest in the lives left behind by economic change. His directing places private family decisions alongside the larger forces that reshape villages and relationships.
