Konikar Ramdhenu

Kukoi is an imaginative, intelligent eleven-year-old who runs away from his village home and takes a job in a motor garage in the city. One day the owner tries to molest him. In self-defence Kukoi strikes him with an iron rod and kills him.

Produced before a court, Kukoi is sent to a state juvenile home, where he is traumatised. The warden, Biswa Boro, is an understanding man who gently coaxes the true story out of the boy. The magistrate orders Kukoi released into the custody of his parents or a guardian. When Biswa travels to the boy's village he learns that Kukoi's mother died years ago and his stepfather has disowned him. Biswa, now retired and childless, decides to adopt him.

Jahnu Barua visited twelve juvenile homes before shooting. He found that of every hundred cases, more than eighty ended in negative situations, far below what a child could hope for. The film completes a trilogy with Xagoroloi Bohu Door (1995) and Pokhi (1998).

It was released on 20 December 2002. It was shown in the Indian Panorama section of IFFI in October 2002, at the Mumbai International Festival in 2003, and won the National Award for Best Regional Film for 2002.

In Jahnu Barua's filmography, Konikar Ramdhenu came after Pokhi (1998) and Kushal (2001) and was followed by Tora (2004) and Baandhon (2012).
