Fulbari is a 2023 Nepali family drama film directed by Ram Babu Gurung, with a screenplay written by Upendra Subba and a story by Kamal Kishor Malpani. The film stars Bipin Karki and Aruna Karki in the lead roles as the ageing parents, supported by Priyanka Karki, Somnath Khanal, Anupam Sharma, Shilpa Maskey, Manish Dhakal and Lokendra Lekhe. It was released in theaters on 17 February 2023 and in the international continuation.

The story of Fulbari is set in the small village of Ilam, the lush hill region of eastern Nepal, famous for its tea gardens. Here, an ageing couple, Jaya Narayan Sharma and his wife Laxmi Sharma, are living out their retired life in their ancestral home, having built it from a life of hard work. Meanwhile, their children, who have moved to Kathmandu in pursuit of careers, are completely absorbed in their own lives, working and managing the pressures of the city.

The plot unfolds when the health of the mother begins to fail, and the family is forced to confront the distance that has crept between the parents and their children. The film moves quietly through the emotions of the ageing parents, the guilt and the shame of the busy boys, and the way in which a crisis finally draws the family close again. As the BBFC summary of the film describes, it is a gentle film about ageing parents interacting with their various offspring, dealing with themes of illness, grief and the quiet tragedy of growing old apart from one's children. It won the approval of critics who praised its refusal to say that one generation's way of thinking is right and the other is wrong.

The cast includes Bipin Karki with a sensitive, subtle performance as the father, Aruna Karki as the ailing mother with a touching portrayal, and Dayahang Rai and Priyanka Karki as some of the children facing the dilemma of the modern generation. Flowers of the film's cinematography lights up the gardens of Ilam and the views of the hills, and the story moves between the present and the past.

Fulbari is an essential and critically pleasing family drama of modern Nepali cinema; it was named as an excellent family drama for not attempting to declare one answer, but showing that every generation carries the weight of its expectations.
