Romeo & Muna is a 2018 Nepali romantic drama film directed and written by Naresh Kumar K.C. and released on 27 July 2018. The film is a bold attempt to bring the world's most famous love story, William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, to the Nepali screen, blending it with the literary tradition of the country, particularly the beloved Nepali epic poem Muna Madan written by the great poet Laxmi Prasad Devkota. The pairing of the two names in the title - Romeo and Muna - symbolizes the union of the western classic with the Nepali romantic heritage.

The story follows Ved, a young man from a wealthy and influential family, who falls in love with Muna, a girl from a modest household. Their love, like that of Shakespeare's famous pair, is tested by the barriers of class, family rivalry and social expectations. The film tracks the growing romance between the two characters as they struggle to protect their relationship from the interference of their families and the society around them. The conflict between the privileged and the ordinary, and between parental authority and youthful love, forms the emotional heart of the film.

The leading roles are played by Vinay Shrestha as Ved and Shristi Shrestha as Muna. The chemistry between the two leads carries the romantic weight of the film, and their performances were praised for bringing warmth and sincerity to the story. The supporting cast includes Surakshya Panta, Sushma Karki and other actors who surround the central couple with family members, friends and rivals.

Produced under the banners of V Motion and KSAN Productions, the film was shot in and around the eastern city of Dharan, which serves as the backdrop for the love story. The scenic landscapes of the region - its hills, bazaars and temples - add visual charm to the film. The soundtrack of the film contributed to its appeal, with romantic numbers that were promoted separately and found popularity with audiences.

Romeo & Muna represents the ongoing tradition in Nepali cinema of adapting classical literature for the modern screen. While it is an original story rather than a strict adaptation, it carries the spirit of both Devkota and Shakespeare, reminding viewers that the themes of love, sacrifice and family remain as relevant today as they were in the age of the great poets.
