Bidurbhai

The Assamese film industry experienced a revival with the release of *Mission China* in 2017. Since then, we have seen a steady flow of hits, with one or two standout films emerging each year. Typically, when friends asked me about a new release, my response was often along the lines of, "It's good for an Assamese film." However, with the release of Bidurbhai, my perspective has changed. This film transcends regional boundaries and is simply very good, without any need for qualifiers. It picks up seamlessly where the web series left off, continuing the narrative with flair and ensuring that viewers are thoroughly entertained.

One of the film's strengths is its ability to balance humor with engaging storytelling. The comedic moments are plentiful and well-timed, providing a delightful experience for the audience. The characters are well-developed, and the plot keeps you hooked from start to finish.

Keep an eye on SUV, a name to remember in Assamese cinema.

It's your average overtly hyped mediocre Assamese film ladened with foul mouthed language that gets churned out every once in a fortnight. It will definitely pander to the wider Assamese nationalist audience, but not to actual cine-philes like myself. The only area that the film excels at is its exceptional music composition that dwarfs anything that has come out of the Assamese movie industry in the recent years. I concur the director has an above average music taste as far as Assamese movie directors are concerned. The subtle undertones in this movie are a bit problematic since they try to justify arson, rather unknowingly, so I will cut it some slack. My mother loved this movie, so i was bound to give it an 8 atleast 😅

I watched it today. A 10/10 film. Congratulations and thanks to all the casts of the movie for giving us such a superb film. It seems that good days of Assamese movie industry has already come. We need some more such films. Really happy to watch such a fantastic movie. I wish good luck to the whole movie team and also wish them national recognition with awards as they deserve it. (want to add something more- yesterday I read some reviews posted on some SM platforms. Most of them were very good but a few people rated the film 1/10 with some foul language, specially about the rape scene. To them, I want to say that You people either don't understand Assamese or you just lack the basic understanding. RIP)

Director Suvrat Kakoti's 'Bidurbhai,' based on his acclaimed web series, powerfully addresses societal issues in Assam through its ensemble cast. Tackling male rape, corrupt government schemes, forced religious donations, and healthcare failings, the film blends entertainment with a profound, emotional narrative. Produced by Arnab Hazarika 's Rootstock Entertainment, it promises a compelling socio-political commentary. With Pranay dutta as the music director, whose work I deeply admire, the film's soundtrack adds depth to its impactful narrative. Best wishes to team "Bidurbhai".✨ A must watch .

This a masterpiece by Subrat Kakoti. A must watch Assmese movie. No glamorous hero or heroine, no zubeen garg or other typical things but a group of real actor and actress making this masterpiece. Be it the story, music or cinematography, this movie is worth watching. The great thing i have observed is that unlike some other Assamese movies , it doesn't have cheap fighting scenes copied from south Indian movies and rather based on a story that suits for the local audiences. Little bit of commercialisation is there but to that limited extent is acceptable. Great work and hope for another one from the same franchise. Hard work brings results.
