1 correction found
The 2021 Nepali movie Damaru Ko Dandibiyo starring Khagendra Lamichhane portrays an underdog team winning the gillidanda league in the hills of Nepal.
This sentence misdates the film and misdescribes its premise. Contemporary coverage shows Damaru Ko Dandibiyo was released in 2018, and its story centers on reviving Dandi Biyo in a village and a conflict with the protagonist’s father.
Full reasoning
Contemporary reporting from 2018 contradicts the article's claim that Damaru Ko Dandibiyo is a 2021 movie.
- The Kathmandu Post reported on April 6, 2018 that the film would "release on May 4," identifying it as an upcoming 2018 release.
- The Cinema Times had already published a "first look" story on February 7, 2018, again placing the film in 2018.
The article also overstates or distorts the plot. Contemporary synopsis/review coverage describes the story as Damaru returning to his village to revive the game of Dandi Biyo, while facing opposition from his father; it does not describe the film simply as an "underdog team winning the gillidanda league in the hills of Nepal."
Because both the year and the described premise are contradicted by contemporaneous sources, this sentence is factually inaccurate.
