The duo, (may I say alone?), cannot bring a good kind of revolution in the country by themselves and everyone knows that. It is upto the Nepali mass how they bring about that change themselves - a family at a time, a neighborhood at time, and so on.
However, the impact these guys had on Nepalese people and their mental state has been tremendous-without a doubt. Remember the days when the people of Nepal would go about their days in that then peaceful and beautiful country and when the cancerous corruption in Kathmandu had not effected the neglected people of the far-off regions, just yet. At that time, the melancholia ridden songs of Narayan Gopal and Bhaktaraj Acharya's would constantly beat down the otherwise cheerful and easygoing nature of Nepalese. That was an entertainment genre that had dominated the scene I guess since LPD's Muna Madan which by the way is masterpiece.
MaHa (followed soon by Samde Sherpa, Santosh Panta and a few others) sort of changed the Nepali pass-time arena by introducing wise-crack political and Nepali-in-general humor. The reason their works became so infectious and popular might be supported by the following quote.
"Comedy has to be based on truth. You take the truth and you put a little curlicue at the end."
-Sid Caesar
Also, weird as it might sound, Mr. Acharya and Mr. Shrestha have also provided a clear lesson to all Nepalese that it is possible for a Bahun and Newar, or any two distinct ethnicities, to work together peacefully and successfully.
