The trailer for Bhaskar Hazarika’s acclaimed and highly anticipated Assamese film Aamis has been released. Aamis premiered at the prestigious Tribeca Film Festival in New York earlier this year and was the toast of audiences at the recently concluded 21st Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival with Star. This original dark love story is being presented by Anurag Kashyap.

Expressing his excitement, writer-director Bhaskar Hazarika had this to say.

“If I had a penny for each time people asked me for the trailer of Aamis, I’d be a rich fellow by now! So after what feels like an eternity here it is finally. Hope everyone likes it and it motivates them to go watch Aamis when it releases.”
