Cinema Halls in Guwahati

Akhomiya Kotha Sobi or Assamese cinema, was born with the release of Joymoti in 1935 by Jyoti Prasad Agarwala. Assamese movies flourished after that and it witnessed an upward growth with the movies of Bhabendra Nath Saikia and Jahnu Barua who brought in content, style and magic to Assamese cinema.

Assamese cinema has never really managed to make the breakthrough on the national scene despite its artistic successes and long cinematographic history and for a state that has always taken its cinema seriously. Although the film industry is making a mark in the National Awards over the years, Assamese cinema has never really managed to make the breakthrough on the national scene.

The Assamese film industry  has been unable to have a strong foothold in the industry and was significantly overshadowed by the larger Bollywood industry. However, many Assamese directors have tried to improvise on their movies in the beginning of the 21st century It witnessed many Bollywood-style Assamese movies hitting the screens.

Cinema is the major source of entertainment in Guwahati. Enjoying a movie in the weekend is always a good option for the office goers.
