MAHA IN DC-A BIG FLOP

okay, i have not seen any of MAHA shows in US thus far. not that i don't like them, but i haven't got a chance, put it that way. as artists, i admire the duo. they have amazing sense of humor and sarcasm. somehow, i don't find their "prahasan" that interesting these days. gone are the days (prior to 1990) of Panchayat era, when communication was under restriction. people felt tramatized to speak against the government. "gaijatra prahasan" and other shows used to be quite a revelation then. nepalese politics, post 1990, has been quite transparent for most of the common people. hence MAHA's "prahasans" on politics do not hold too much significance and sense. probably that's the reason why they diverted their shows towards more social thought provoking and awareness topics as we saw in "raat" (about AIDS) and others. just compare "gau khaane pratiyogita" first (2043 BS?) and second (2061 BS?) parts, you will see a huge difference. amidst poliitical changes, i find them reasonably interesting nowadays, albeit not quite as spicy as they used to be.
