Village Rockstars

VILLAGE ROCKSTARS, a film by RIMAS DAS is not merely a film, it's an epitome of the life of people in rural areas of Assam.Rima Das single handedly guides us through the lives of the people of Assam suffering from frequent floods which the government have not given proper attention till now. She imparts a soul which makes the film real and raw. The wide shots in the movie are breathtaking.Even without a film school, she created magic out of each frame. All the actors in the film are non-professionals. Even with non-professional actors, she managed to guide and draw great performances out of them, for which the lead Bhanita Das won the National Film Award for Best Child Artist. Village Rockstars was selected as India's official entry to the 2018 Oscars, which it totally deserved. It was also premiered in acclaimed international film festivals TIFF, Cannes, DIFF etc...

A masterwork is usually the result of strict adherence to artistic and functional rules. Village Rockstars respects none: it dons a raw, innocent cloak and exudes a degree of purity that deliberate craft can never bestow on a film... The film stands for something that is always under threat: the courage to ignore the reality that life is exceedingly difficult for cinema that is made on the margins of a giant production machinery and recognise that there always are ways out for those who revel in battling the odds, no matter how daunting, and overcoming them.

Absolutely natural. The VILLAGE ROCKSTARS is a miracle.

Too hard to believe it's done by a fresh Director . The editing work she has done is pure magic. Her camera (CANON 5D) speaks more than the dialogues.

Awesome work by RIMA DAS. Her four years of work for the movie shows well on the screen .. covering almost all seasons.THIS MOVIE WOULD SURE ROCK AT THE OSCARS ..!!!

Offbeat art movie, it also shows assamese culture, village life style, flood, childhood etc etc... story is best... feel the nature... being an assamese i am amazed and thrilled... sound is good. best of luck for OSCAR... Big thank to Rima Das...

Pick up a camera. Shoot something. No matter how small, no matter how cheesy, no matter whether your friends and your sister star in it. Put your name on it as director. Now you're a director. Everything after that you're just negotiating your budget and your fee.
