Ritu is a 2014 Nepali romantic love story film directed by Manoj Adhikari and written by Sandeep Badal. The movie is notable for being the first Nepali film produced from Australia. Ritu was released in theaters on March 7, 2014, with a running time of 129 minutes, and was produced by Alp Entertainment in association with Planet3Films, Apil Bista Films and Ashok Gautam Films.

The theme of the film is that seasons change with time, and so do the hearts and feelings inside. The movie examines relationships and emotions through time, showing that change is inevitable in nature, feelings and relationships, and that things do not always work out the way people plan. Ritu is a simple romantic story about similar changes that took place in the lives of Meena, Suraj and Kripa. It is not about falling in love, but about not letting your love wither and fall.

The film stars Raj Ballav Koirala as Suraj, Malina Joshi as Meena and Rima Bishwokarma as Kripa in the leading roles. The supporting cast includes Kamal Silwal, Bishnu Neupane, Iva Ivanova, Bulson Lamgade, Mana Khatri and Sushila Budhathoki, along with Riya Patil in the title role of Ritu. The cinematography was handled by Sushan Prajapati, the editing by Bharat Regmi, and the music was composed by Hemanta Rana and Tsujil Karmacharya.

The film was produced by Shailu Acharya, Ashok Gautam, Suraj Pradhan and Apil Bista, and its promotional campaign highlighted its Australian production roots and the emotional depth of its story. The movie was described as a story of youths and their struggle against time, seasons, hearts and feelings that are trying their best not to remain the same.

Ritu brought together the popularity of Raj Ballav Koirala and Malina Joshi, both established names in Nepali cinema, with the freshness of an international production approach. For audiences interested in the romance genre and the growth of Nepali cinema abroad, Ritu stands as an important milestone as the first Nepali feature produced from Australia.
