A wave of emotion swept across Assam as Roi Roi Binale, the final film of beloved singer, composer, and actor Zubeen Garg, premiered to packed theatres and tearful audiences. The film opened not just in Assam but in 46 cities across India, transforming cinema halls into spaces of remembrance and reverence. Fans queued up before dawn — some as early as 4:45 a.m. — to witness their icon on the big screen one last time, turning every show into a heartfelt tribute to the man whose music defined generations.
For filmmaker Rajesh Bhuyan, the moment was bittersweet. “We had been working on this movie for three years. The story and music were by Zubeen… almost everything was completed except the background score,” he shared. The movie, a long-cherished dream of Garg’s, casts him as a blind artist — a role that now carries haunting symbolism, reflecting the light he brought into the lives of millions.
Released on October 31, a date chosen by Zubeen himself, Roi Roi Binale has become more than a film — it is a farewell symphony. Across Assam, audiences wept, sang along, and celebrated the legend whose voice still echoes through every corner of the state. In life and in art, Zubeen Garg continues to unite hearts, leaving behind a melody that will never fade.
