As someone from the Northeast, I'm thrilled! Our stories often don't get this kind of reach. The plot sounds lovely - a road trip with a grandmother and granddaughter. It's so important for the rest of India to see the culture and humour of Assam. Kudos to the team!

Great initiative by Prasar Bharati. But I hope the subtitles are accurate and well-timed. Sometimes the charm of regional dialogues gets lost in translation. If they get that right, this will be a hit for sure.

Heard the song "Maas Bihu" on a reel, it's so catchy! 😄 Happy to know I can finally watch the full movie. More power to regional filmmakers telling simple, relatable stories.

Living in Mumbai, I rarely get exposure to Assamese cinema. This is a perfect opportunity. The generational story sounds universal. Will definitely check it out on Waves.

This is the kind of content we need on OTT platforms instead of the same old formulas. A comedy-drama about family and a mythical fish search? Sign me up! Hope Waves continues to curate such gems from every corner of India.
