Bornodi Bhotiai (In Love, By the River) is a genre bender which combines magic realism witch a quirky slice of life narrative. Many things at once, it is also a social satire with shades of dark comedy sprinkled over it. The movie which opens with a soul pleasing shot of the river Brahmaputra with a ship ferrying, takes us to the world’s largest river island, Majuli and introduces us to the unvarying and routine life of Moukon, Luit, Simanta, Joi, Topon, and Bhaskar
