Manomoti

Manomoti and Lakshmikanta meet while watching the Doul festival and fall in love. Santiram Atoi, of the Barpeta Satra, carries Manomoti's feelings to Lakshmikanta. Chandi Baruah, a nobleman of Baranagar, is Manomoti's foster father, while Lakshmikanta's father Halakanta Baruah, of Jugi's farm, is also a nobleman. The two houses have long been rivals.

When a Burmese (Man) army comes down the river to Guwahati, Halakanta sees a chance to settle old scores and brings Man troops to attack Chandi Baruah's Baranagar. The brave and generous Lakshmikanta joins Chandi Baruah to resist them.

One dark night the Mans storm Chandi Baruah's mansion and take him, Manomoti, her friend Pamila, Lakshmikanta and Santiram prisoner. They also seize Halakanta, who had guided them. Chandi Baruah is killed. In the end Padumi, the Assamese wife of the Man commander Mingimaha Tilowa, helps Manomoti, Pamila, Lakshmikanta, Halakanta and Santiram escape from captivity.

The screenplay was written from Rajanikanta Bordoloi's novel Manomoti. Manomoti was the first Assamese film to have a poster made; neither of the earlier Assamese films, Joymoti and Indramalati, had one.

The film ran to 19 reels and remained the longest Assamese film until 1970. A new print was prepared in 1967.

Kamal Narayan Chowdhury composed the music, and he and Prasanta Baruah were among the singers. The film had ten songs.
