Movies: Best Movies in Assamese(অসমীয়া ভাষা)

Assamese or Asamiya (অসমীয়া [ɔxɔmija]) is an Indo-Aryan language spoken mainly in the north-eastern Indian state of Assam, where it is an official language. It serves as a lingua franca of the wider region and has over 15 million native speakers according to Ethnologue. Nefamese, an Assamese-based pidgin in Arunachal Pradesh, was used as the lingua franca till it was replaced by Hindi; and Nagamese, an Assamese-based Creole language, continues to be widely used in Nagaland. The Kamtapuri language of Rangpur division of Bangladesh and the Cooch Behar and Jalpaiguri districts of India is linguistically closer to Assamese, though the speakers identify with the Bengali culture and the literary language. In the past, it was the court language of the Ahom kingdom from the 17th century. Along with other Eastern Indo-Aryan languages, Assamese evolved at least before the 7th century CE from the middle Indo-Aryan Magadhi Prakrit. Its sister languages include Angika, Bengali, Bishnupriya Manipuri, Chakma, Chittagonian, Hajong, Rajbangsi, Maithili, Rohingya and Sylheti. It is written in the Assamese alphabet, an abugida system, from left to right, with many typographic ligatures. ()

Assamese is spoken in India and 55 movies (between 1969 and 2024) with this language have been recorded so far. Most of these movies were shot in India (46). Popular genres for Assamese movies are Drama (38), Comedy (6) and Action (4). Papori (2023), Rainbow Fields (2019), Suspended Inspector Boro (2018), The Horse From Heaven (2022) and The Flight (1997) are among the best known & most successful Assamese movies.
