Bijuli Machine is a 2016 Nepali film directed by Navin Awal and produced by Rishav Acharya, Bindu Timilsina, Santosh Lamichhane, Dipen Basnet and Sanjiv Neupane.[1][2] Nalin Shen Thapa is the executive producer of the film. It features Abhishek Subedi, Jeewan Adhikary, Buddhi Tamang, Reliza Shrestha and Rajesh Hamal in lead roles. The film revolves around two teenage friends who set out to solve Nepal’s chronic “load-shedding” problem with the innovation of a unique ‘Bijuli Machine’.[3] Santosh Lamichhane is also the Science Advisor for the film.[4] The film released on Mangsir 17, 2073 B.S. i..e December 2, 2016.[5][6]

The movie has been called a science-fiction film with a social story.[7] Its teaser and trailer created positive response.[8]

In an interview, the writer and director, Navin Awal, mentioned that although he and the Scientific Consultant Santosh Lamichhane worked to make the movie scientifically logical, the movie is more a metaphor, that the voice of youth has the true energy and it should not be ignored, that every innovation begins with an imagination and perseverance against all unfavorable odds is what makes dream a reality.[4][9][10]

Reviewers commented favorably on the film, its lack of stereotypical elements, and praising its authenticity.[11] The film was also screened in Germany[12][13] and the United States and received a positive response.[14] On June 13, 2017, the film got selected for screening at the Regina International Film Festival in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada.[15]

On August 7, 2017, Bijuli Machine won The Most Commendable Movie of the Year 2017 at the prestigious LG Cine Circle Awards in Nepal founded by Dinesh D.C. Other nominees for the same title were Kalo Pothi (Min Bahadur Bham), Buddha Born In Nepal (Gyanendrad Deuja), Dying Candle (Naresh K.C), Seto Surya (Dipak Rauniyar), and Tin Ghumti (Baburam Dhakal).[16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]

On August 16, 2017 Nepal's Oscar selection secretariat announced that Seto Surya (Dipak Rauniyar) and Bijuli Machine were being considered for Nepal's official entry to be considered for the best foreign language feature film at the 90th Academy Awards.[24]

Bijuli Machine also got selected as an opening film at the 2017 Tasveer South Asian Film Festival, Seattle.[25][26][27][28] It also screened at Singapore South Asian International Film Festival[29] and got selected to Chicago South Asian Film Festival.[30]
