Reema Borah’s Noi is the story of Bisnu, a middle-aged fisherman, who undergoes a journey to identify the body of an unknown man. This contemporary allegorical tale from Assam is semi-autobiographical, critiquing political corruption, hypocrisy and identity.
Noi demonstrates the creative strengths of new Assamese cinema, which is regularly overshadowed by the larger film industries. Borah is a graduate of the prestigious Film and Television institute of India and this is her second feature film.
