While not as successful as Suvrat Kakoti’s Bidurbhai (2024), Gulai Soor, the first Assamese release of 2025, is surely winning the hearts of audiences across Assam. Appreciated for its storyline, humour, production design and focus on Assamese culture, Gulai Soor has reached its third week in cinema halls. Featuring the stories of thieves being trained in a school of thievery run by the legendary Diga Soor (played by Tony Deori Basumatary), the film is a humour-filled ride that focuses on themes of deception and heists. If read between the lines, it also has a subtle take on corruption, deprivation and dishonesty in our society as it explores the blurry line between the right and the wrong.
