Mumbai, Dec, 2022: Shadow Assassins films screening was arranged in Mumbai’s multiplex. It was watched by the actors, Producers and lots of other people including paying audience, reviewers and Industry folks.
Every viewer had only one to thing to say is that it’s a must watch film and every Indian must know this story of Assam. It’s a gripping tale beautifully projected on screen by the actors. A two time national Award winning director truly does justice to the sensitive subject and brings out the tale without getting biased.
SYNOPSIS:
‘SHADOW ASSASSINS’ -Assam’s ‘secret killings’ come back to haunt
Nirbhay Kalita leaves his home in Guwahati, Assam, with dreams of starting a new chapter in life on a college campus over 2,000 km away in Pune, Maharashtra.

DIRECTOR PROFILE:
Two-time National Award winner, Nilaanjan R Datta’s debut Hindi film ‘Shadow Assassins’ puts the spotlight on the ‘secret killings’ of Assam, which marked the darkest period in the history of the North-Eastern state. Masked gunmen would raid the homes of those thought to be sympathisers of the outlawed militant group, ULFA, and pick them up. Their bullet-ridden and mutilated bodies were discovered across the countryside, in fields and forests, streams and rivers. Homes were set on fire, and families destroyed in a snap. The film, comprising an ensemble cast and crew drawn from the Hindi, Bengali and Assamese film industries with Anurag Sinha and Mishti Chakravarty in the lead, and Rakesh Om and Hemant Kher in pivotal roles, releases in theatres on December 9.
