Chhakka Panja 3
Chhakka Panja 3 is a 2018 Nepali comedy film directed by Deepa Shree Niraula and the third installment in the Chhakka Panja series. It stars Deepak Raj Giri, Kedar Ghimire, Jeetu Nepal, along with Deepika Prasain and Buddhi Tamang. The story follows the daughter of a headmaster who marries a wealthy but illiterate politician’s son and works to improve conditions at her father’s government school, facing many obstacles.
The film runs 145 minutes and was released on October 1, 2018. It had a budget of about NPR 2 crore and grossed around NPR 20.3 crore. Viewers and critics praised its story, screenplay, social message, comedy, and performances, especially that of Kedar Ghimire. Chhakka Panja 3 became a blockbuster and, at the time, the highest-grossing Nepali film until Kabaddi 4: The Final Match surpassed it.
A fourth Chhakka Panja film was announced in July 2022 with a new ensemble cast and released in 2024 during Dashain, while keeping Deepak Raj Giri, Kedar Ghimire, and Deepa Shree Niraula involved. Chhakka Panja 3 is regarded as one of the best in the franchise for addressing social issues with humor and a heartfelt approach.
