Ke Ghar Ke Dera: Ghar No. 2 narrates a story revolving around homes and rented spaces. It reflects the dreams of the homeless to build a home and the struggles of those who already own one. The trailer has already hinted at this central theme.
Once someone enters the Kathmandu Valley, it’s rare to find a middle-class individual who hasn’t dreamed of owning a home here. The contrast between renting and owning a home repeatedly strikes the lives of many. To escape that pain, people hold on to the dream of having their own house in Kathmandu. They work tirelessly — doing jobs, starting businesses — chasing money. Along the way, they meet all kinds of people — some offering false hope, others issuing threats. What starts as temptation often turns into coercion and entrapment.
As life gets tangled in this web, the big question becomes: How is a new home built? And once built, can it really be sustained? This appears to be the central conflict around which the film’s story revolves.
