Certain emotions know no bounds. Some bonds form with artists despite no blood relation.
Zubeen Garg, one of the most endearing personalities who touched millions of Assamese lives at a young age, passed away recently — a loss known to all.
The streets of Assam were flooded with people during his funeral, and the government had to impose traffic restrictions and curfew-like measures to manage the massive crowds.
Now, his last film has been released posthumously. Assam witnessed an emotional morning as Roi Roi Binale, Zubeen Garg’s final film, hit the screens on October 31, 2025.
Fans gathered from as early as 5 a.m. to see their beloved star one last time.
Many were moved to tears, including a 90-year-old woman who was carried into the theatre, reflecting the deep affection people still hold for the late actor-singer.
Zubeen, who tragically passed away in Singapore in September due to drowning, remains an icon in Assamese culture.
To honour him, theatres across Assam reserved a special seat in his memory, and photos of this heartfelt tribute quickly went viral.
Roi Roi Binale has taken over every cinema hall in the state, with all shows sold out.
In today’s fast-paced world, where attention spans are short, such deep love and respect for a departed artist is both rare and profoundly moving.
