Kothanodi

Last movie (Kwaidan) that i watched on the subject of folktales was based on Japanese lores, which was directed by Masaki Kobayashi, director of The Human Condition(trilogy) and Harakiri. And now it was Kothanodi, directed by Bhaskar Hazarika who directed another unconventional masterpiece Aamis. Kothanodi is well crafted, directed,acted, with haunting BGM and haunting atmosphere with unorthodox stories . Looking forward to watch more movies from this director.

A very interesting movie with a really good storyline. I really like the combination of the stories in the movie! A very creative output!

One of the best indian movie i have seen.I am speechless.Story,direction,Editing,music,acting,Cinematography, costume all are perfect.folk songs are awesome. Mr hazarika please carry on.👍👍👍👍👍

Based on folk tales, this Assamese film weaves four stories together in an interesting mix of whimsy and depth. Each story is bizarre and thought provoking at the same time. Some are situated close to each other geographically and appear to trod the same tracts of land, but are in fact stories all alone. Some end predictably following long stretches of jaw- drop surprise while others go the opposite way.

A woman is followed by a fruit, an evil stepmother takes advantage of her husband's absence, a man captures a python so as to marry it off to his daughter and a man keeps burying his newborn babies. That's about as basic a premise as it is. Shot beautifully, Kothanodi soars wildly and is an absolute joy to watch. It reminded me of my childhood which was spent in the company of Jataka Tales and the Panchatantra. Much recommended.

Four stories narrated in a beautiful way.. one of the best in Assamese Cinema...
