Kothanodi

Four stories narrated in a beautiful way.. one of the best in Assamese Cinema...

Last movie (Kwaidan) that i watched on the subject of folktales was based on Japanese lores, which was directed by Masaki Kobayashi, director of The Human Condition(trilogy) and Harakiri. And now it was Kothanodi, directed by Bhaskar Hazarika who directed another unconventional masterpiece Aamis. Kothanodi is well crafted, directed,acted, with haunting BGM and haunting atmosphere with unorthodox stories . Looking forward to watch more movies from this director.

Reminds of the childhood stories...a look into the Assamese folklore..story well said..but somewhere felt a lacking class..in the making...the bgm was awesome..overall an above average experience..6.5/10.

One word that can describe this film is - CHILLING. Kothanodi is the story of 4 mothers, each facing demons of her own. 4 different BGM are used for 4 stories and every one of them is scary. You may feel the stories are weird but I'm sure you can't stop the film in between. Loved all the actors specially Zerifa Wahid & Urmila Mahanta.

While watching the film I was thinking that the stories were something like 'Thakumar Jhuli' (Bengali folk tales). So, after finishing the film I search for it & came to know these stories are really of 'Thakumar Jhuli' but in Assam region, it is called 'Burhi Aair Sadhu.' It's really good to see films based on folk tales. Because nowadays it's very rare. So, I'll request everyone to watch this film, I think many have seen it already.

A very interesting movie with a really good storyline. I really like the combination of the stories in the movie! A very creative output!
