A grandmother escapes from her home with her granddaughter; both can't tolerate with a cop, also the daughter and the mother respectively. Both are on a different mission - the grandmather is seeking nirvana through a unique way; and the granddaughter has bigger dreams but lower vision. They travel together to almsot south to north in the region; and followed by the daugher/mother.

This looks like nothing interesting about the plot but salute to the both writers and the director. They knows the craft and knows how to tell a story. Metanormal is a pretty good thing happening in Assam, as we don't have a proper production house here. Kothanodi, Aamis and now Emuthi Puthi - exploring various genres respectively. I don't know why people are not talking much about this movie. Debut director Kulanandini Mahanta needs some homework though; but she has done a great job as we know it is not so easy to make such a wonderful movie. The art of this movie lies within the writing, the background score and a intelligent editing. The RIMLI character is the star of the show. What a wonderful perfomences!! Doesn't like the acting of Neetali Das at all. Shristi Sarma and Rubul Boro are promisng. They have knowledge of the craft. People are talking about magic realism kinda stuff, but this is more of a HADHUKOTHA to me, I liked the film, as well as my 10 years old nephew. This will become a cult in future. We watched three movies back to back few days ago - LOCAL UTPAAT, GUWAHATI DIARIES and EMUTHI PUTHI. The last two films are very well written film and good to see finally writers are taken seriously in Assam.

First Local Utpaat, then Emuthi Puthi and now Guwahati Diaries. All three films has explored different genres respectively and finally I can say that a new wave of Assamese cinema has statred.

Come to Guwahati Diaries. First of all, a must watch. A Guwahati that you may familiar with but never captured in storytelling though. A Guwahati that is dark. A Guwahati which will make you lonely. A Guwahati which will give you another chance. A Guwahati where you can dream. One of the best ending scenes in Assamese cinema. A fast paced film, just like the materialistic urban life. Well wriiten, cleaver direction. Good to see realistic dialouges has taken place in Assamese cinema, few dialouges will really touch your heart and mind at the same time.

Let's talk about perfomences. Growing up watching Barsha Rani Bishaya's film and this is the first film where I can see her potential as a character artist. I love her acting through out the whole movie. This film will surely change her image as an actress and take her to a next level. Urmila Mahanta always does justice with her characters. Both Barsha and Urmila are the show stealer. They didn't share the screen together, which I find interesting about the plot. Watched Bokul few days back and I must say Udayan Duarah is a good actor. He is the central character of the movie, and he has done a great job. Naaz Sultana is promoising, needs more homework though. Hemanta Debnath is the most amazing actor through out the film. Ranjeev Lal Barua is a good actor, I don't know why he hasn't worked so much yet. Kamal Lochan's character is nice, breaking his streotype angry young man look and tries something new. I think Arghadeep carries the same expression from Aamis and Emuthi Puthi. He needs to take acting more seriously. I would want to see some another guy on the character of Mayur rather than him. But the cliamx scene, when he reveals his identity, is one of the good sequences of the movie.

The cinematography is well done, specially the bar sequences. Framings could be better though. Screenplay can be more tight, but it's decent though. Editing can be better for sure. No sign of prouction design as we see no significant things on Udayan's room to establish him as a director. The colour grading is international level. Never seen such a cool balance of YCB in Asdsamese films. Moreover, this film is a good film. It's like black coffee. You don't fond of it with only one try. Hope to see it on OTT very soon. All the best ot the team. I hope you guys will bring more urban dramas to us. Thanks.
