Which Is The First Assamese Full-length Color Film In Cinema History?
The distinction of being the first Assamese color film belongs to Bhaity, released in 1972 under the direction of Kamal Choudhury. This film holds a special place in Assamese cinema history as it introduced audiences to vibrant color visuals at a time when most regional films were still made in black and white.
Bhaity not only marked a technological leap for the Assamese film industry but also highlighted the growing ambition of local filmmakers to match national cinema standards. The film’s release demonstrated Assam’s ability to embrace modern filmmaking techniques and paved the way for future productions in color.
While Dr. Bezbaruah (1969) is remembered as a milestone thriller that changed Assamese cinema’s storytelling style, it was Bhaity (1972) that truly ushered in the era of color films in Assam.
This pioneering achievement by Kamal Choudhury remains a cultural landmark, inspiring generations of filmmakers and securing Bhaity’s place in Assam’s cinematic legacy.
