However, the business of all five films is not satisfactory. Although Keki Adhikari's film did not do business, his work was liked. Keki starrer ‘My Best Friend, My Promise, Big Man, Mr. 5 Amber, and Rebirth’ are the films released this year. Of these, 'rebirth' was difficult to raise except for investment.

Keki Adhikari has been popular on social media this year. He is also considered as an idol by the youth. Keki Adhikari's status on social media and the response from her fans are amazing. Although the movie business has failed, Keki is getting a new job.

This year, the actress, who often stays out of scandals, strengthened herself socially by giving a responsible expression on social media. Keki won the Best Actress award at the 7th NEFTA Film Awards this year.
