+Grim melodrama set in the context of the All-
+Assam Students’ Union agitations during the
+1983 elections, a familiar setting for mainstream
+Assamese cinema of the period (cf. Hem Bora’s
+Sankalpa, 1986). Papori’s (Desai) husband
+Binod (Goswami) is falsely arrested for murder.
+Her daughter is in hospital, where she
+eventually dies. Papori’s only support, a police
+inspector (Phukan), finds the true murderer but
+cannot arrest him because the killer enjoys
+political protection. Papori is raped by a
+smuggler, her husband is convicted of murder
+and only an arbitrarily added epilogue,
+claiming that the husband is eventually freed
+and the good inspector promoted, brings a
+glimmer of relief. In his later Halodiya
+Choraye Baodhan Khaye (1987), Barua
+again weaves contemporary political events
+into a melodramatic plot.
