Maak Aru Moram

Ramesh, a decent and loving man, loses his wife Bulu suddenly on a trip. Before this, he tells Bulu he must travel to Calcutta on official work, and since she has never been there she asks to come along. They leave their two children, Jitu and Jina, with their grandmother and the servant Ligira Dhapas. After enjoying Calcutta they go on to Darjeeling, where Bulu dies unexpectedly. Heartbroken, Ramesh returns home, tells the children their mother is ill in hospital, and resolves not to marry again so he can raise them himself.

Ramesh is later transferred to Calcutta. One day the children wander out and are overwhelmed by the city. Jitu has an accident and is taken to hospital, while Jina is kidnapped by a ruffian. With the help of their loyal Alsatian dog, the father finds Jina, and Jitu recovers and comes home.

Ramesh comes to see that the children badly need a mother and that a father alone cannot meet this need, and he finally decides to remarry.

Nip Barua directed, and wrote the story and screenplay. The film was released on 10 May 1957 and was his second as director. Brajen Barua produced it under the Barua Art Production banner and composed the music.

There were six songs, three of them in Hindi. The Assamese lyrics were by the poets and lyricists Keshab Mahanta and Hiren Bhattacharyya, and the Hindi lyrics by Nurul Haque. Nip Barua's first film, Smritir Parash, also had Hindi songs, and including them was a commercial strategy.

At the 5th National Film Awards (1957), the film received a Certificate of Merit in the best Assamese-language film category. It was the second Assamese film to win a National Film Award.

In Nip Barua's filmography, Maak Aru Moram came after Smritir Parash (1956) and was followed by Bhakta Prahlad (1958) and Ronga Police (1958).
