Roi Roi Binale becomes the first Assamese film to cross the Rs 25 Crore mark; Zubeen Garg's final film is an All-Time Blockbuster
The Assamese film industry (Jollywood) has witnessed its biggest box office phenomenon to date. Roi Roi Binale, the musical romantic drama starring the late cultural icon Zubeen Garg, has rewritten history books. Riding on an unprecedented emotional wave as Zubeen Garg"™s final on-screen appearance, the film has shattered every existing record in the state. In a landmark achievement, Roi Roi Binale has become the first-ever Assamese film to cross the ₹25 Crore mark, signalling a golden era for regional cinema. What makes this success even more astounding is the film's modest scale. Reportedly mounted on a budget of just ₹5 Crore, the film has delivered a return on investment (ROI) that rivals the biggest national blockbusters. The musical drama, directed by Rajesh Bhuyan, has registered a domestic collection of ₹33+ Crore (as per available data), turning into a colossal All-Time Blockbuster for the producers. The film has found immense love not just in urban centres like Guwahati but has also brought audiences back to single screens across smaller towns in Assam. Before Roi Roi Binale, the benchmark for Assamese cinema was set by recent hits like Bidurbhai (approx. ₹15 Cr) and Sri Raghupati (approx. ₹13-14 Cr). Roi Roi Binale has not only surpassed these figures but has effectively doubled the highest benchmark. The film's performance in the home market is a testament to the star power of Zubeen Garg and the audience's emotional connection to the project. Roi Roi Binale is not just a film; it has become a cultural movement in Assam. With a profit percentage exceeding 500%, it has been officially declared an All-Time Blockbuster, standing as one of the most profitable films of 2025 across all Indian industries. As the industry celebrates this historic ₹25 Crore breach, the film serves as a fitting cinematic tribute to Zubeen Garg, ensuring his legacy at the box office remains untouched for a long time.
