It throws light on the lasting marks such violence leave on the psyche of children and how their parents deal with it. Speaking to us about the film and her character, Dipannita said, "This is my first Assamese film and I'm happy that the film is receiving such accolades. Every country has, at some point, seen violence so it's an identifiable film for audiences across the globe. The most fascinating thing about the film is that there's violence in the backdrop but there's no bloodshed in the entire film. I play a parent in the film and the experience has been great. I was required to be completely raw and my friends and family loved me in the film," she said. The actress is also excited that the film released in Nandan. "My film releasing in Nandan is a big deal. It's a cultural hub and I'm happy that the film will run at such a respected theatre," the actress signed off.
