Titled ‘Jeevanor Baatot’, the film is expected to release during or around the time of Durga Puja and is being produced by the Naharkatiya-based cultural activist Dilip Buragohain – under the banner of Kareng Cine Art. Buragohain was once involved in the production of Dr Bhabendra Nath Saikia’s all-time classic ‘Sandhyarag’. Based on his own story, the film’s script and dialogue have been penned by Dhruba Jyoti Mohan, who has also directed the film.

Small-town directors have taken over Assamese cinema and are now expanding its horizon, even beyond national borders. These directors have successfully experimented with local themes and explored its incessant possibilities.
