What is "bahniman"

Bahniman is a 2016 Assamese language drama film directed by Biswajeet Bora. Filmmaker Biswajeet Bora had long wanted to make a movie that transcends the rigidity of commercial cinema with something unusual and unique from the point of view of story and treatment. His highly engaging Aisa Yeh Jahaan created cinematic history when it became the country’s first carbon-neutral film. Its subject has a humanity that connected deeply to the audiences across the country, which makes film enthusiasts and fans, especially in Assam, all the more curious to see what Biswajeet has up his sleeve in his new project.But belying expectations, the Mumbai-based filmmaker, out to prove a point or two, returns with a lot of fire power in his belly to direct a full-fledged entertainer titled ‘Bahniman’. He has been quite keen to explore some new ideas in a commercial venture for some time now. This big-budget Assamese movie, produced by Barnali Hazarika under the banner of Santoshi Maa Production, is presently drawing a lot of media attention, and not without reason. Its shooting progressing at a hurried pace in various locations, Biswajeet Bora’s film is going to be a refreshing spin on the action genre, quite unlike anything seen here. He has got the technical expertise and acumen, having spent years in Mumbai, India’s entertainment hub, where he was fortunate enough to observe a lot of well-known filmmakers at work, including the renowned Jahnu Barua, whom he also assisted for close to six years. He has left nothing to chance here. All the technical aspects are being looked after and executed with a lot of precision and planning.The story of the film revolves around three childhood friends, lost to their own fates, only to re-emerge as fierce rivals. But soon they reunite to fight for the cause of their city which is controlled by mafia kingpin Kanu Sharma. Its about friendship, lost love and revenge.There’s no greater satisfaction to a filmmaker than being on a movie set, getting to work with talented people – actors, actresses and the technicians.
