MUKUNDO (MASK OF DESIRE) is a stormy and sensuous exploration of shamanic ritual, female desire, and forbidden love in modern-day Nepal.

“Inspired by a true incident”, story has genial, brawny night watchman Dipak (Ratan Subedi) happily ensconced in a Kathmandu flat with his two young daughters and wife, Saraswati (Gauri Malla). Latter, however, is making herself sick with anxiety over her inability to produce a male child; when a baby boy does arrive, but weakens and dies, Saraswati grows convinced that sh:e’s offended the gods.

Despite Dipak’s reluctance, she seeks exorcism-style help from widowed Gita (Mithila Sharma), a beauteous “Jhangrini,” or spiritual healer. She, in turn, finds the middle-class duo’s company a relief from her otherwise joyless, ascetic life. But this friendship soon turns the already high-maintenance wife into a jealous spouse, as Dipak admits his attraction to “that devil woman.” Violent cat-fight climax provides an abrupt, unsatisfying end to helmer Tsering Rhitar Sherpa’s hitherto plodding effort, which too seldom leaves the talky confines of couple’s apartment.

The film received very good critical responses, and is generally hailed as a landmark Nepali film. The film’s use of color and off beat story telling was unprecedented in Nepal. The film was Nepal’s selection for OSCAR Academy Awards Consideration in Best Foreign Language Film in 2000. It went to be screened in many prestigious international film festivals like San Francisco International Film Festival, Vancouver International Film Festival, Goteborg International Film Festival, Fribourg International Film Festival, Fukuoka International Film Festival, Mumbai International Film Festival.
