Development

Roi Roi Binale was conceived and written by Zubeen Garg, who also composed the music. Director Rajesh Bhuyan stated that the film had been in development for nearly three years before Zubeen’s passing in September 2025. [5]

Post-production

According to Bhuyan, most of the film was completed before Zubeen Garg’s death, with only minor background music work remaining, in which he was scheduled to compose after returning from Singapore on 21 September 2025. Poran Borkotoky was hired to compose the remaining background music score after Zubeen's death. His original voice recordings will be retained, with minimal AI-assisted restoration where necessary. [6]

Roi Roi Binale is presented as a tribute to the artistic legacy of multitalented Zubeen Garg, marking his final contribution to Assamese cinema as an actor, writer, director and composer. In that respect, Assam Congress president Gaurav Gogoi has urged the State government to make Roi Roi Binale, cultural icon Zubeen Garg’s final feature film, tax-free, reports The Hindu. [7]

At the cabinet meeting of the Assam government, the Chief Minister Himanta Bishwa Sharma stated that, as no entertainment tax is levied in the state, there is no question of waiving it. [8] The government also announced that it will donate its entire share of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) collected from Zubeen Garg’s last film "Roi Roi Binale", to the Kalaguru Artiste Foundation. This charitable organization is founded by the late singer. The foundation supports medical treatment for artistes, aids flood victims, and assists needy students. The decision was made after consultation with Garg’s family. [9]

Soundtrack

The soundtrack of the film features original compositions and vocals by Zubeen Garg. The songs are blending traditional Assamese melodies with contemporary arrangements. [10]

The first single, "Mur Mon" which was sung by Zubeen Garg and Sweety Das was released on 7 October 2025. [11] The second single, "Xopun Xopun" was released on 15 October 2025 and the third single, "Joon Jwoli" was released on 29 October 2025.

Release

The film was released nationwide on 31 October 2025. [12] As a tribute to Garg, every cinema hall across Assam will exclusively screen the film, suspending all holdover releases including Kantara: Chapter 1 , Dude , Thamma and Ek Deewane ki Deewaniyat , while also not playing newer releases including Baahubali: The Epic and The Taj Story . [13]

With screenings in more than 180 screenings across India, [14] the film received the "widest-ever release for an Assamese film". [15] [16] [17] Some of the screenings took place at a very early hour in Assam [18] , some long-locked theaters reopening specifically for the occasion. [19] The number of bookings too broke all Assamese records. [20]

Reception

"Garg never seemed like he was burdened with a task either, and the sense of abandonment is arguably what drew the people of his region so close to him. He was, as many suggest, unostentatious yet appealing, and his final film Roi Roi Binale is fitting to that image.", wrote Swaroop Kodur in The Federal. [21]

Notes

  1. Garg died on September 19, 2025; he will receive a posthumous producer credit.
