Movie Review: 'Nellier Kotha'
'Nellier Kotha' is an Assamese movie based on the Nellie massacre that claimed the lives of 1600-2000 people from 14 villages across Assam.
Nellier Kotha, directed by Parthajit Baruah is a tale with narratives that are very new to our audience.
This is essentially the consensus: the movie portrayed the full catastrophe that happened, the events that took place, and the impression it left firsthand.
It is fascinating to hear a story from various perspectives and Nellier Kotha reveals that beautifully.
The movie did not get into the details of what exactly caused the massacre or the political aspects of the massacre.
It demonstrated the psychological effects of the slaughter, which have left scars on both the living and the generations that have come after.
The movie does not portray a shred of violence but somehow it expresses the pain felt even years after the tragedy transpired.
The human and natural element of the film was even momentarily lost during some scenes due to almost poetic phrases or plot lines.
The film will surely make a part of your soul question ethics and the role of people in promoting society.
