Pratap Subba

Died in 2023

Pratap Subba was born in the Indian district of Darjeeling and studied there. A Nepali short story discovered at school decided his vocation: he wanted to bring it to the screen, and it became his first film. He then made other feature films, including Bachana Chahane Haru, in 1982, in the same district, and Kahi Adhyaro Kahi Ujyalo. The Kathmandu Post and Kantipur, which paid tribute to him on his death, both describe him as a filmmaker from Darjeeling. He died on 16 March 2023.
