Controversy
Soon after the release of the movie on YouTube, the movie ran into controversy after a young film maker from Nepal, Aneel Neupane claimed the movie was a copy of his short film Bob released on Vimeo on 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] Kriti is now back on YouTube about three weeks after it was pulled down for violating said claim and Bob is back as well on YouTube.
