Film: Chorten Kora II Story, Director and Producer: Wangchuck Director of Photography: Chencho Dorji Assistant Director: Rinchen Namgay Cast: Chencho Dorji, Pema Yanki, Nguldrup Dorjiks, Rinchen Namgay and Jalab Lakey Length: Two hours
There is good news for Bhutanese movie fans who did not have enough of Chorten Kora. The sequel to the film, Chorten Kora II, has been released at the Trowa Theatre in Changjiji in Thimphu.
The sequel is not a continuation of the first part. The lead characters are rebirths of the characters of the first part but the story is different from the first part.
Norzang, played by Gyem Dorji in the first part is reborn as Wangchuk. Ashi Chorten Zangmo (played by Kinley Peldon) is reborn as Yethro Lhamo. Lobzang Tenzin, the negative character (played by Dechen Dorjee) is reborn as Lobzang Tenzin.
The story of Chorten Kora II revolves around Wangchuk (played by Chencho Dorji), a civil servant. Yethro Lhamo (played by Pema Yangki), a villager form Merak and Lobzang Tenzin (played by Nguldrup Dorjiks), a rich man from Merek and Yetho Lhamo’s fiancée.
Wangchuk meets Yethro Lhamo during Gomphukora tshechu in Tashiyangtse and falls in love. But since the lovers come from different societies their path to love is filled with obstacles and difficulties.
E xcept for Wangchuk, who dreams of his past life, the other characters are oblivious of their past lives. Besides romance, the film also depicts the strong bond of friendship and trust. The film shows glimpses of activities during the Gomphu kora and Chorten kora tshechus. The film has two songs and was shot in two places in Tashiyangtse within a month.
Most viewers who watched the film said they expected Chorten Kora II to be a continuation of the first part. “There is less relation between the first part and the second, it is just like watching a different film,” said a viewer.
The film will be screened in Phuentsholing in December.

If the movie is of entirely different story then named it Chorten Kora II. Viewers will definitely take for granted that it is the continuation of the first part. It is completely misleading the audience.
Be careful while naming any film for instance.
What rubbish you are talking about. You have named movie name Chorten Kora II and it is totally different. I think you all are not entertraining the people or not gonna educate the people. Really money minded ,……Becareful when you do something. Make it which people can appreciate.
since Chorten Kora I was a huge success, under Gyem Dorji’s directorship (and of course his exemplary acting), they wanted to share the “branded” title, I assume! Else, it makes no sense if it isn’t the continuation.
Chortenkora was an entertaining movies with little misleading when it is potraying the essense of Buddhism with human sacrifice. However it owed it credit with Bhutanese actors almost setting the standard of professionalism.
With new Chorten Kora, it looks like the same Shakesparean drama , the romance of Romeo. Without this theme, the Drukloywood and the Bolleywood is void of any creativity. Looks like cheap movie and fast money. Think of the longterms.
Film-makers should take moral responsbility regarding distortion of historiacal facts. the youngsters after this geneartion may think Gasa Lamai part ii and iii and Chorten Kora are authuentic historical myth.
as of now, it seems Bhutanese film-makers are just going after money that are guaranted by sequels. even Chorten Kora part I distorts historical fact to make films look romantic.
