His breakthrough came with The Flute (2012), a short that made history as the first Nepali film to screen at the Venice Film Festival. His debut feature, The Black Hen (2015), cemented his international standing, winning the FEDEORA Best Film Award at Venice and serving as Nepal's official Academy Awards submission.
