Released on 2 September-2016 in almost 50 theaters in Assam and Meghalaya (Shillong), the film has already become a superhit in Assam.
A story that dates back to the 80s. An unusual machine makes an entry into a village. Its called TV. It provokes a huge ruckus with people from all over scrambling to have a look at this black and white TV stationed at the most wealthiest of village households.
A group of enthusiastic villagers getting together to dug a hole beside the house, setting up a bamboo pole where a antenna is mounted on top of it, the mechanic turning the antenna back and forth, the visuals coming out right occasionally but most times it looks as though there is a blizzard going on, with people of all shapes and sizes assembling on the floor – these are but some of the cherished moments that naturally unfolded when TV made its debut in this village.
The music of the movie is composed by Mousam Gogoi.
The film is going to have its world television premiere on Prag News on 16 April 2017 at 12:30 PM IST.
