Danny Denzongpa's first Nepali film Mashal was produced by Sikkim Films Corporation Private Limited. Directed by Pratap Subba, popular Nepali film director; this was the first Nepali film produced by Sikkim. The film was released in 1982.
The film had acting talents of that generation - Rajani Sharma, Danny Denzongpa, Sunil Thapa, Tej Rasaily, Ashok Sharma, Sushila Rayamaji, Ganesh Rijal, C. K. Shreshta, and others. Danny played a blind retired army man while Sunil Thapa, also his first Nepali film was the villain in the film.
Lyrics written by Kusum Gazmer and Music given by Ranjit Gaazmer had three songs - Yo Badaal, Dara Khola, and Ropaa Hai still remembered to this day. Udit Narayan, Deepa Ghatraj, and Sushma Shrestha were the singers.
In an interesting anecdote, I was told by Bhim Rawat, senior journalist and former President of Sikkim Press Club of Sikkim, that he had watched the movie at Sri Krishna Hall at Rhenock paying Rs. 1.50 paise for the ticket.
