Directed by Rajesh Bhuyan, it was Garg's dream project, which he had been planning for nearly 19 years, and had completed just before his tragic death in Singapore on September 19, 2025. For one week, no other movie will be shown in cinema halls across Assam, except Roi Roi Binale.
Thousands of fans, braving the heavy rains, flocked to theatres for the early morning 4:25 AM show to pay their final tribute to the cultural icon. Every screening across the state is house full, and the tickets for the entire first week have already been sold out. According to PTI, Zubeen Garg's musical opened packed shows in every theatre and is expected to become a game-changer, breaking all past box office records of Assamese cinema.
Tears and tributes for Zubeen Garg
Assam and the entire northeast are reeling from the death of Zubeen Garg. To pay special tribute to the legendary singer, several movie theatres in Assam reserved a special seat for the late singer and decorated it with gamosas (a traditional handwoven piece which signifies the highest regard in Assamese culture). In some theatres, candles were lit in front of Zubeen Garg’s portrait, with several visitors paying their last respect with prayers. Audiences from all age groups were seen watching the first day, first show of Roi Roi Binale. Many turned emotional, leaving the theatres, while some broke down into tears to see their most beloved star for one last time on screen.
Director Bhuyan told NDTV, "This is not Zubeen's movie, it's people's movie." He added, "People came at 4 AM for a movie release. It's historic."
