Ajali Nabou

A farmer crushed by a moneylender's exploitation and by illness has four sons: Uday, Ajay, Ramen and the youngest, Bhaiti. Their mother is dead and an aunt looks after them. When the father dies suddenly, the boys give up the family land to the moneylender and move to town. Uday sells the aunt's bangles and starts a small business, which slowly grows. He marries Ajali, a gentle woman who, having no child of her own, raises the younger brothers with a mother's care. Ajay becomes a lawyer and Ramen a doctor.

When the two brothers marry, trouble begins in the house after their wives arrive, and both wives eventually leave. The once cheerful home turns silent. Uday dies, and Ajali takes up a widow's dress. In the end both daughters-in-law come to realise their faults and return to Ajali.

N. C. Dutta produced the film under NC Productions, and Nip Barua directed it. It was released in 1980, on 22 February by the database record.

The film is the Assamese version of Bhangagora, a 1954 Bengali film drawn from the novel Bijita by Prabhavati Devi Saraswati. The same story was remade in Malayalam as Kula Daivam (1956) and in Hindi as Bhabhi (1957).

Ramen Barua composed the music for six songs. Keshab Mahanta wrote the lyrics, and Dipen Barua and Runjun Phukan sang them.

The film was quite popular when it came out.

Ajali Nabou is remembered as the first Assamese film made in Eastmancolor.
