Controversy

Soon after the release of the movie on YouTube, the movie ran into controversy after a young filmmaker from Nepal, Aneel Neupane claimed the movie was a copy of his short film Bob released on Vimeo in October 2015 privately among friend and family circle.[9][10][11][12][13][14] The incident developed into an ugly affair of claims and counterclaims with both the films being removed from YouTube.[15][16][17] Kriti is now back on YouTube[18] about three weeks after it was pulled down for violating said claim and Bob is back as well on YouTube.[19] Another short named DAZED also got into fight which had the similar storyline and was released on March 13, 2015, even before the both movies.[20]
