Unko Sweater (Nepali: ऊनको स्वीटर, transl. The Woolen Sweater) is a 2025 social drama film written and directed by Nabin Chauhan. Produced by Artmandu Nepal Pvt. Ltd in association with Kendra Motion Pictures, the film stars Bipin Karki and Miruna Magar in lead roles. Based in the multi-cultural settings of Eastern hills of Panchthar, it explores the theme of warmth of love and human connections. This marked the start of film production for Artmandu.[2][3]
The film released on May 9, 2025 in cinemas among positive response from the audience.

Synopsis
[edit]Set against the backdrop of rural eastern Nepal, the film explores the difficulties of love amidst deep-seated social and traditional boundaries. The story revolves around the relationship between Dharanidhar, an innocent soft-spoken man who is a dutiful member of the traditional Kafle Bahun family, and Phool, a lively and spirited girl from the Gurung community. Their gentle, emerging love is immediately complicated by social realities of casteism, class divides, and the pressure of family lineage that still rigidly govern their society.
Dharanidhar upholds his familial responsibility and tradition, while Phool's strong personality offers a contrast to his reserved nature. Their connection is built through subtle gestures and unspoken emotions, with the titular 'woolen sweater', knitted for a lover, becoming a metaphor for their warmth and silent devotion. The film follows the couple as they struggle to reconcile their personal desires with the expectations of a social system that attempts to keep them apart, ultimately leading to a profound emotional turning point in their journey.[6]
