Dwaar (Assamese: দুৱাৰ, The Voyage out) is a 2013 Assamese drama film directed by Bidyut Chakravarty, with his own screenplay, and produced by Sanjive Narain and Bidyut Chakravarty himself. It was adapted from the Assamese short story Bahiroloi Jowa Baat by Apurba Sarma. Dwaar stars Kapil Bora Mahika Sharma and Zerifa Wahid in the lead roles. The literal translation of the title means Door.
The film won the Best Director, Best Music and Best Audiography award in the Assam State Film Awards for the period 2010-2012.
The story is set against the backdrop of the Assam agitation and its aftermath. Dwijen Bhattacharya (Kapil Bora), a young academic and writer, whose tryst with the social unrest and the student movement of his home state leaves an indelible scar on his personal and professional life. Attempting to write his novel of love, Dwijen ironically loses his intimacy and connection with his wife, Manosi (Zerifa Wahid). Their marital relationship goes through a rough phase. He suffers from neurotic hallucinations and severe depression, and attempts to break free from everyday life by alienating himself from his academic and personal responsibilities.
After Anuraag (2004), Dwaar is the fifth film directed by Bidyut Chakravarty. According to him, he had been conceiving the plot after reading the short story Bahiroloi Juwa Baat by Apurba Sarma in 1988. He said, "the original story is not a conventional story, but a state of mind. It was written during the time of Foreigners’ Movement. And to some extent, I have tried to reflect the mindset of the general people of that time in the movie." On the premier of the film producer Sanjive Narain said making cinema was a social responsibility for him.
The shoot of the film started from November 2010 and ended in March 2011 under the working title The Gateway. Most of the shooting took place in Guwahati and Nameri, while post-production work was done in Chennai. The film includes English subtitle.
