Yeh Hamro Team!

Actress Richa Sharma plays the soccer coach, Seema.

Hamro Team (“Our Team”) is set to broadcast in Nepal soon, but the theme song and accompanying music video were released recently at a large even in Kathmandu. In the presence of media representatives, director Bhusan Dahal along with composer Kali Prasad Banskota and singers Astha B and Nima Rumba launched the video and screened a teaser for the show.

The 13-episode show will center around a female soccer player who chooses to coach an all-male team rather than take an opportunity to move the U.S. Her team is made up of young men from all around the country. The show aims to address and create awareness about good governance, leadership and unity.

“It forces the characters in the stories to question the leadership of the politicians, and to voice their opinions on what kinds of leadership they want,” says Abinash Bikram Shah, the lead writer of the series. “But this was not possible without understanding and accepting the views of people of various background in Nepal.”

Watch the music video below, but beware, it’s very catchy:

The Team uses the metaphor of a soccer team to tackle themes of unity and cooperation in the various countries where it’s broadcast. Learn more about the series here or fan Hamro Team on Facebook.
