Guwahati, October 31, 2025 — Assam’s theatres turned into temples of emotion on Friday as Roi Roi Binale—the final film of late music legend Zubeen Garg—hit the big screen. From pre-dawn screenings to spontaneous tributes, the state came together in collective remembrance of an icon whose music shaped generations.

According to The Sentinel Assam, one fan stunned audiences by revealing a massive tattoo of Zubeen Garg’s face inked across his back during a theatre screening—an act hailed online as the “ultimate symbol of love and respect.” Across Guwahati, murals of the singer-actor appeared overnight, including one along Six Mile VIP Road that drew large crowds, reports India Today NE.

Deccan Chronicle noted that screenings began as early as 4:45 a.m., with queues forming outside multiplexes hours before sunrise. The Rajesh Bhuyan-directed 146-minute film—co-produced by Garg, his wife Garima, and Shyamantak Gautam—has been released across 91 screens in the Northeast and 92 nationwide, marking the biggest Assamese release ever.

In Roi Roi Binale, Garg plays a blind musician, blending themes of love, struggle, and artistic devotion. Featuring 11 songs composed by Garg himself, the film has been described by critics as a deeply emotional farewell. “It’s not just a movie—it’s an experience that connects music, emotion, and memories of a legend,” wrote reviewer Ravi Chaudhary on X.

Fans across Assam echoed that sentiment. “It’s been years since Bishnu Talkies in Dhubri was housefull for an Assamese film,” one admirer told India Today NE. “Today, everyone came to celebrate Zubeen Da’s legacy,” it added.

As The Statesman observed, the screenings became “spaces of tribute” for an artist whose voice “continues to echo through Assam’s cultural legacy.”

For Assam, Roi Roi Binale is more than cinema—it’s a collective goodbye to a legend whose melody lingers on.
