Jetuka Pator Dore won the Best Feature Film in Assamese award in the 58th National Film Awards for 2010.

In an interior village of Assam in the 1970s, poor farmers and fishermen are always exploited by contractor Jamuna Hazarika, a wealthy villager.

Radha (Aimee Barua), an orphan grew up in the family of her maternal uncle Nakul (Arun Hazarika) and his wife who had no offspring. Rajat (Raag Ainitam), also an orphan stayed with them as household help. Radha and Rajat spent childhood together. When they grows ups, Nakul arranged Rajat’s stay at a small thatched house built at the rear side of the orchard of the village school teacher Hemdhar (Bishnu Khargharia). But the intimacy between Rajat and Radha remained the same.

Having passed out matriculation, Radha joined the local college and with her talent and intelligence she soon became popular among students and teachers. Of the teachers, professor Mahanta (Biki) showed special interest in her. But Radha was more impressed by professor Naren Dutta (Kapil Borah), a shy, introvert man by nature and with strong ethical principle. As the result, rumour was spread in the village of Radha having affair with both the Professors.
