==Reception== Sano Sansar was able to leave its mark on Nepali audiences that had begun to avoid Nepali language films due to its incomparable reputation with films from other industries. Because of that, audiences were leaning more towards Hindi language films (Bollywood). Despite having to face this challenge, Sano Sansar was able to perform very well in box office, in fact it was able to make record by earning 6.25 lakh Nepalese rupees within eight days of release.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Bhaskar |first=Utpal |date=2008-10-08 |title=New directors script change in Bollywood-crazy Nepal |url=https://www.livemint.com/Politics/dDdZd0zH7sklsDeexrMJ4I/New-directors-script-change-in-Bollywoodcrazy-Nepal.html |access-date=2022-06-02 |website=mint |language=en}}</ref>
