Joymoti Never Left

Directed by Mehdi Jahan

With Satyashree Agarwala Das, Radha Das, Tridisha Goswami, Raghu Pratap and Arghadeep Baruah

In 1935, celebrated writer Jyotiprasad Agarwala directed the first Assamese film: Joymoti – a milestone in Indian cinema. Joymoti had a troubled legacy, the film vanished around the time of India's independence, to resurface only partly in the early 70s, with more reels reappearing over time.
