Assam Screens Only 'Roi Roi Binale' as Zubeen Garg’s Final Film Opens Statewide

The government’s GST share from ticket sales will go to Garg’s foundation in an official tribute.

Overview

  • From October 31, every cinema hall in Assam is showing only Roi Roi Binale, with pre-booked runs and schedules expanded to meet demand.
  • Exhibitors added pre-dawn shows — some starting at 4:35–4:45 am — and up to seven screenings per day, with distributors citing roughly 600 daily shows across the state.
  • Advance sales set local records, with reports of more than 15,000 tickets sold in the first hour and opening-day pre-bookings of about Rs 41.2 lakh.
  • Distributors report roughly 91 screens in the Northeast and about 90 elsewhere in India, extending the release to dozens of cities that rarely host Assamese films.
  • The Assam cabinet confirmed its GST pledge to the Kalaguru Artiste Foundation, while inquiries into Garg’s September death continue, with Singapore’s coroner review underway and separate probes reported in India.
