Critical response

Abhimanyu Dixit of The Kathmandu Post wrote, "For a debut film, Sapkota has shown audacity and a lot of potential. There are moments that speak for the filmmaker and his love for the medium. For example, the film opens with a shot of a child and closes on a funeral pyre. Here's hoping this film has birthed a space for more young, fresh minds to come ahead and share their stories. We will find perfection along the way".[3] Diwakar Pyakurel of Onlinekhabar wrote, "Selfie King's strength is its story, not the making. It is a ruthless revelation of the tragedy of a comedian's life. The young director needs to improve his presentation skills to quench the Nepali audience's thirst for ‘good movies’".[4] Sunny Mahat of The Annapurna Express wrote, "Written by the director himself, the film's screenplay is extremely loose and the story unconvincing".[5]

gollark: I'm looking at one of them but it hasn't cracked much.

gollark: The "current" eggs seem kind of weird; they weren't announced properly, randomly ended up in the biomes quite late, and now have weird cracks.

gollark: I assume the new current ones are somewhat xenowyrmy, since apparently they came from breeding xenos, have a similar description, and came in the same release.

gollark: I've got entirely release ones now, except for my one free unused slot.

gollark: It would be really impressive if DC was broken enough that he could *accidentally* release a new dragon this way.
