Jahnu Baruah’s film premiere after 9 years

After a hiatus of 9 years, internationally acclaimed director Jahnu Baruah's Assamese venture "Baandhon" was premiered here in GUwahati on Thursday. The film has been selected by Indian Panorama feature film jury as the opening movie of the 43rd International Film Festival of India in Goa slated from November 20 to 30.

The film, which has been produced by Assam State Film (Finance and Development) Corporation Limited, stars noted Assamese actor Bishnu Khargoria in the lead role. It also features popular actors Jatin Bora, Zerifa Wahed and Molloya Goswami. Baruah has directed an Assamese film after a hiatus of nine years.

Due to lack of enthusiasm and avenues to make Assamese films here, Jahnu Baruah had decided not to direct any Assamese film in the near future. It was after much request by the state film corporation that the director agreed to do so.

"The film will get the kind of support from the film goers that the Assamese film industry is looking forward to," said Baruah.
