Kathmandu — The full trailer of Mitjyu has been officially released at a press conference in Kathmandu on Monday, and it delivers everything audiences have been hoping for: warmth, humor, competitive spirit, and a story rooted in the timeless Nepali tradition of miteri — the sworn brotherhood bond.
The trailer introduces Dayahang Rai and Saugat Malla as rival drivers in a village newly connected by a road, each competing to get passengers to their destinations faster. Their ongoing rivalry is the engine of the comedy, but when a local astrologer advises them not to take their quarreling lightly, the two rivals are ceremonially bound as mits — sworn brothers.
What follows is a perfectly observed comedy of friendship under strain. In one of the trailer's most charming moments, Saugat arrives at Dayahang's home with a rooster as a gift — only to have Teriya Phounja Magar, playing his mitini, cheekily ask why he only brought a rooster and not a hen as well. The cultural detail is both authentic and funny.
The trailer also hints at deeper drama: a conflict that threatens to bring shame to the sacred mit bond itself, suggesting the film has real emotional stakes beneath its comic surface.
The film is directed by Anil Budha Magar, whose last film Ghar Jamai was a box office hit. The cast alongside Dayahang, Saugat, and Teriya includes Puskar Gurung, Shishir Wangdel, Raj Thapa, Suwarna Thapa, Anu Thapa, Smita Lamichhane, Arun Pun Magar, Uttamraj Pande, Sabin Kattel, Umesh Sonam, Pawitra Khadka, Chahana Rana Magar, Anusha Rai, and Khadga Bahadur Pun Magar (Khabapu). One of the film's songs also features a special dance performance by actress Rusha Neupane.
The film is produced by Janak Gharti Magar, edited by Lokesh Bajracharya, with cinematography by Shishir Bishankhe and music by Shrikrishna Bam Malla, with vocals by Shrikrishna Bam Malla, Melina Rai, and Laxmi Mall. Chief assistant director is Firoz Khadka. Distribution is handled by RR Films with digital rights acquired by OSR.
In a remarkable sign of international demand, the film has already sold out its screening rights in Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Malta, Singapore, and Poland ahead of its Jestha 8 release.
