Khusma is a 2024 Nepali romantic social drama film written and directed by the filmmaker Ashok Thapa Magar. The film was produced by a group of producers that includes Bir Bahadur Lama, Chandra Bhattachan, Betany Magar, Man Bahadur Dhanha Magar and Sushmita Budhathoki under the banner of M Media, with the cinematography by Deepak Bajracharya. The movie was released in the cinemas of Nepal on 19 September 2024 and runs for about two hours and twenty five minutes. It is a love story set in a rural Magar community of Nepal, in the backdrop of the period of the People war of Nepal, and the film shows how the conflict of the country affected the everyday life of the villages and the hearts of the young lovers.

The story of the picture is a deep love triangle between three main characters: Khusma, Gemi and Mane. Khusma, played by the actress Upasana Singh Thakuri, is a young woman who is separated from her husband in the confusion of the war, and she waits for his return, hoping to meet him again one day. The hero Gemi, played by Dhiraj Magar, is in love with her with a pure heart, and the third corner of the triangle, the young Mane, played by Astitwa Bhattachan, carries his own feeling for the woman. The film shows that love is always kind and patient, that it is never jealous but rather selfless, and that the heart of the village woman remains true even when the whole country is burning around her. The movie insists that in the middle of the war, the love and the sacrifice of the people are stronger than the weapons.

The film became very popular in Nepal because of its songs, especially the song Rukum Maikot, which became a global hit and was watched by millions of viewers around the world. The supporting cast of the picture includes Maotse Gurung as Narya Master, Raj Thapa Kaucha as Mukhiya Ba, Raju Regmi Magar, Khadga Bahadur Pun Magar, Sara Rai, Sujata Rai, Sangita Thapa, Bijay Sanyok Subba, Shwetaa Mishra, Bebek Buda Magar and Arun Magar. The film was made with a budget of about 2.5 crore rupees and collected about 4.5 crore rupees at the box office. After its theatrical run, the makers placed the full movie for free on the YouTube platform, where the story of the love of Khusma and the song of Rukum Maikot are still loved by the audience of the Nepali cinema.
