Kathmandu’s indie music scene has a fresh new emotional anthem. “Makhamali”, the latest release by The Hulaki, is already making waves – crossing 300K views within just a day of its release, signaling a strong connection with listeners.

The track dives deep into themes of tender love, quiet yearning, and emotional distance, wrapped in a soft, melodic arrangement that lingers long after the song ends. With heartfelt vocals, lyrics, and composition by Aman Basnet, the song leans into a minimalist yet evocative soundscape letting emotion take center stage.

Adding to its appeal is the presence of Upasana Singh Thakuri, whose expressive performance elevates the music video into a poignant visual narrative of love and longing. Known for her strong screen presence, she brings a quiet intensity that perfectly complements the song’s mood. Supporting performances by Samyog Guragain and Aadi Pahari further enrich the storytelling, each adding depth and authenticity to the emotional arc of the video.

The visuals unfold like a slow-burning love story: intimate, restrained, and deeply felt, mirroring the song’s core emotion: the ache of missing someone who still feels within reach. It captures a love that remains unfulfilled, held back by social stigma and external forces, where two souls quietly yearn for each other but are pulled apart by circumstances that refuse to align in their favor.
