Plot
editThe film is set in 17th-century Assam. The story is based on the life of Joymoti Konwari, a medieval Ahom princess of the Ahom dynasty who was tortured to death for not revealing the whereabouts of her husband Godapani and laid down her life for the sake of democracy.
Difference with Joymoti (1935 film)
editIn this film Manju Borah, differs the story from the first Assamese film Joymoti released on 10 March 1935.[2][3] In the previous film by Jyoti Prasad Agarwala the sacrifice of Joymoti for her husband took major importance.
My objective is to present Joymoti as a historic figure. She was a visionary, who through sheer foresight and unflinching determination, saved the Ahom kingdom at a time when it was passing through one of its worst crisis, marked by grave political instability. Manju Borah[4]
