B A K U L P H U L O R D O R E
2022/Assamese/ 77.36 min
Director : Sanjeev Hazorika
Producer : Riniki Bhuyan Sarma
SYNOPSIS:
Bakul Phulor Dore deals with the fall of a bright young student, Ashim, and his struggle and rise from
the downhill to the heights he once fell from. Ashim used to be a topper in his class but unjust
conditions of his family, one that struggles through the burden of financial hardship and abuses of an
alcoholic father, led him to seek for job rather than focusing on his studies. The contradiction of
dreams and reality finds a vivid expression through the fact that a kid who loves mathematics ends
up becoming a wage labourer.
