Prominent Assamese filmmaker Rajesh Bhuyan has publicly condemned the piracy of his latest film, “Roi Roi Binale,” calling it a “devastating blow” to the dream he and the late icon Zubeen Garg nurtured for nearly two decades. In a heartfelt live video posted on social media, Bhuyan expressed his anguish over the film’s illegal circulation on unauthorized platforms. “It was a dream of Zubeen and mine for the last 19 years. Everyone involved in this film has given their best to make Zubeen’s dream come true, but the rule violators have destroyed all our hard work by pirating it,” he stated.
Bhuyan directed his frustrations towards those responsible, questioning their motives. “The dream we have been trying to fulfil for 19 years, some people have destroyed it. Is this your tribute to Zubeen? Is this how you respect him?” he asked emotionally. He revealed that his team has been working tirelessly to block pirated links since the film’s release, stating, “Our days have stopped from September 19. We are doing this for Zubeen and for the public.”
Additionally, Bhuyan expressed disappointment over a segment of the Assamese audience that appears to show greater interest in South Indian films rather than supporting local cinema. “Some people of Assam are more interested in South movies rather than helping Assamese cinema grow. By pirating it, you are destroying our culture,” he remarked.
The director described the offenders as “thieves,” stating, “Thieves of cows are thieves; thieves of cinema are thieves too.” He reminded fans that Zubeen Garg was staunchly against piracy and would have been heartbroken by such actions against a film created in his memory. Bhuyan made an emotional appeal to the people of Assam to safeguard their language and heritage, insisting, “You cannot call yourself Assamese if you don’t respect your culture and language. What you are doing is a shame to Assamese culture and the film industry.”
In closing, Bhuyan made a firm declaration: “I am not requesting anyone to stop pirating; I am demanding it. Everyone is on the back foot because of this. We will not remain quiet until Zubeen gets justice.”
