Kathmandu, Cinema halls across Kathmandu on Friday stopped the screening of '<keyword id="9776044" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="adipurush" source="Orion">Adipurush</keyword>', a day after Mayor Balen Shah warned that no Indian movie will be allowed in the Nepal capital if the film based on the Hindu epic <keyword id="6363500" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="ramayana" source="Orion">Ramayana</keyword> does not correct the "mistake" about the birthplace of Sita. The <keyword id="17720608" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="nepal-film-union" source="Orion">Nepal Film Union</keyword> has urged all the cinema halls in Kathmandu to stop showing 'Adipurush' and urged theatres outside the capital to release it only after assessing the security situation. In a tweet on Thursday, the Mayor said that in 'Adipurush', it is mentioned that "Sita is the daughter of India". He added that until this mistake will not be corrected in India and Nepal, no Indian movie will be allowed to be shown within the Kathmandu metropolitan city limit. The film is written and directed by <keyword id="2236748" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="om-raut" source="Orion">Om Raut</keyword> and produced by T-Series and Retrophiles. Shot simultaneously in Hindi and Telugu languages, the film has courted controversy in India as well. In a statement, Nepal's QFX Cinemas said: "Keeping the security of our viewers, QFX is not going to show 'Adipurush'... We are waiting for the government's decision. As soon as this issue is resolved, we will issue another notice and apologise for the inconvenience to our viewers." Nepal's Censor Board also decided to hold back permission to the upcoming Indian epic mythological film, based on the Hindu epic "Ramayana", for the same reason. Sita was born in Nepal's Janakpur and Lord Rama came and married her, as per the Ramayana. Besides Mayor Balen Shah, some sister organisations of various political parties have also protested against the film and warned that they will not allow the screening until the filmmakers correct the mistakes regarding the birthplace of Sita. This is not the first time that Mayor Shah ratcheted up the nationalist planks. Mayor Shah on June 8 placed the map of Greater Nepal in his chamber to counter the Indian "Akhand Bharat" map placed in the new Parliament building. The main opposition, CPN-UML has demanded to send a diplomatic note to India to protest the "Akhand" map. --IANS ag/ksk/

Kathmandu cinema halls stop screening of Adipurush over Sita birthplace issue

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div>Russia has <a href="http://www.minfin.ru/ru/press-center/?id_4=33101">signed an agreement with the government of Nepal</a> for the repayment of a $1.16 million Soviet-era loan.It is not clear why Russia is bothering to collect such a small, old debt. But given Russia's troubles - its currency has collapsed along with its economy, and Russia's own foreign debts are now crippling it - and the mercurial nature of president Vladimir Putin, it is temping to read the Nepal agreement as a sign of ... something.The landlocked nation of Nepal, which became a republic in 2008 after almost half a century of rule by monarchs or a ruling family, remains one of the world's poorest countries, with a GDP per capita of $694.10. It suffered from a decade of civil war after Maoist rebels took on the monarchy under King Gyanendra, which only ended last November when a peace deal was finally signed.Its relationship with the Soviet Union began in 1956, three years before the US set up an embassy in the capital Kathmandu. According to <a href="https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1958-60v15/d278">US diplomatic cables from the time</a>, by June, 1958, the Nepalese King Mahendra had agreed, in principle, to accept Soviet economic aid. Now the Russian Finance Ministry wants the country to pay back its debt.Yet it's unclear why it has taken the decision now. Russia is significantly richer than Nepal with per capita income at around $14,600 in 2013, according to World Bank data. The move could be seen as part of a trend of Russia leaning on its debtors in order to raise funds as the country's economy suffers in the wake of the collapse in global oil prices and Western sanctions over its role in the ongoing Ukraine crisis. Earlier this month Russian president Vladimir Putin said that Ukraine should repay a $3 billion loan because Russia needs that money to fight the economic crisis that's currently ravaging the nation, reports Bloomberg's <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-02-03/putin-says-russia-needs-3-billion-used-to-bail-out-ukraine">Anton Doroshev</a>. However, the tiny size of the Nepal loan relative to the Russian economy makes this move look decidedly odd not least as the country still has some $368 billion in international reserves in its coffers, the majority of which is held in dollars and euros. It should already have enough to take care of its damaged economy - for the time being at least.Perhaps then this loan recall from Nepal is just a shot across the bow for its larger debtors. Russia is simply saying: It may soon be time to pay up. <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/largest-ice-glacier-calving-filmed-2015-1">This Video Of The Largest Breakage Of Ice From A Glacier Ever Filmed Is Absolutely Frightening</a></h3> <div> <div> <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="NqbHJucjpzcqR3obKs3FqeMQRi8yolxr" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div> </div> </div> </div>
