Bihu Attack Brings Assam’s Patriotism to the Big Screen

On the eve of the vibrant Bihu Festival, producer Prabir Kanta Saha presents Bihu Attack. This socially conscious and emotionally charged film brings Assam’s cultural identity, national security concerns, and patriotic spirit into sharp cinematic focus. Set against the colour, rhythm, and emotional intensity of Bihu celebrations, the film blends high-stakes drama with grounded realism.

More than a conventional thriller, Bihu Attack positions itself as a narrative deeply rooted in regional truth while resonating with national sentiment. The film seeks to highlight the complexities of life in India’s North-East, emphasising education, unity, and social integration as powerful counters to extremism and violence.

A Story Rooted in Reality and Purpose

At the heart of the Bihu Attack is the story of Raj Kunwar, a disciplined and compassionate court martial officer from Assam. Raj dedicates his life to persuading insurgent groups to abandon violence and rejoin mainstream society. Firm in his belief that education and inclusion can transform lives, he works closely with local communities to rebuild trust and redirect vulnerable youth away from extremism.

A widower raising his young daughter Driti, Raj Kunwar is respected not only for his professional integrity but also for his rare ability to connect with people across social and cultural divides. His personal resilience and inclusive worldview define his mission—until intelligence inputs warn of a major terrorist attack planned during the Bihu Festival, coinciding with a high-profile visit by the Defence Minister to Assam.

As festivities approach, the stakes rise dramatically, placing Raj at the intersection of duty, personal loss, and national security.

A Strong Ensemble Cast

The film features a powerful ensemble led by Dev Menaria, Daisy Shah, Arbaaz Khan, and Rahul Dev in prominent roles.

The narrative gains further depth through compelling performances by Raza Murad, Yukti Kapoor, Hiten Tejwani, Mir Sarwar, Dimpu Baruah, Kalindri Das, Crosswell Timung, Jeet Raidut, and Amit Lekhwani, all of whom contribute authenticity and emotional weight to the story.

A Film with a Message

Speaking about the film, producer Prabir Kanta Saha described Bihu Attack as deeply personal.

“Bihu Attack is very close to my heart. It is not just a film, but a reflection of Assam’s reality, its culture, and its people’s love for the nation. Through this story, we wanted to show that education, unity, and humanity are stronger than fear and violence. This film is our tribute to the brave forces and the spirit of Assam,” he said.

Vision and Execution

Produced under the banner of PKS Film Production House, Bihu Attack is directed by Suzad Iqbal Khan, whose vision strikes a balance between realism and emotional depth. The film uses its culturally rich setting not merely as a backdrop, but as an integral narrative force that amplifies its themes of unity and resilience.

Final Word

With its strong patriotic core, rooted cultural context, and socially relevant narrative, Bihu Attack promises to be more than a cinematic thriller. It stands as a meaningful exploration of regional identity within the national fabric—connecting Assam’s stories, struggles, and spirit with emotions shared across India.
