Controversy

Soon after the release of the movie on YouTube, the movie ran into controversy after a young filmmaker from Nepal, Aneel Neupane claimed the movie was a copy of his short film Bob released on Vimeo in October 2015 privately among friend and family circle. [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] The incident developed into an ugly affair of claims and counterclaims with both the films being removed from YouTube. [15] [16] [17] Kriti is now back on YouTube [18] about three weeks after it was pulled down for violating said claim and Bob is back as well on YouTube. [19] Another short named DAZED also got into fight which had the similar storyline and was released on March 13, 2015, even before the both movies. [20]
