Kallol

Kallol is a rebellious, symbolic film about class conflict in a feudal society. The feudal lord is a zamindar, Anangaprasad Choudhury (Barua), and the local fishermen are his bonded subjects: they catch the fish but the zamindar takes the largest share.

Choudhury is furious when the fishermen fail to land a very large fish. Mani, a defiant young man who pays the zamindar no deference, manages to catch it. In the end the fishermen rise in revolt against the zamindar, with Mani leading them.

Rudra Barua composed the music and wrote the songs, and Namita Bhattacharya sang them. The cast included Chandra Narayan Barua as Anangaprasad Choudhury, Bishnu Kharghoria, Lachit Phukan, Bina Saikia, Mahidhar Gohain, Ranen Saha, Bharat Rajkhowa, Pratima Mahanta and Mohiuddin Ahmed.

Kallol won the Rajat Kamal for Best Assamese Film at the 27th National Film Awards in 1979. It was also selected for the Indian Panorama of 1978-79.

In Atul Bordoloi's filmography, Kallol came after Anutap (1973) and Bonoriya ful (1973).
