KATHMANDU:- The ‘Old is Gold’ screening series of historic Nepali films concluded on Wednesday with the showing of the movies ‘Badalindo Akash’ and ‘Jivanrekha’.

The event was attended by, among others, actors Arun Chhetri and Simran Khadka, director Dr. Kapil Rijal, and producer Suman Giri from the film ‘Gauthali’. Arun Chhetri and Simran Khadka play the lead roles in ‘Gauthali’, while Dr. Kapil Rijal serves as the director and Suman Giri is one of the producers.
