Kaaneen - A Secret Search is an Assamese language feature film written by Rita Chowdhury and directed by Monjul Baruah and starring Jahanara Begum, Baharul Islam, Partha Hazarika, etc.
A chance incidence of coming across an abandoned newborn baby amidst a crowd of curious on-lookers on the side of the road sets in chaotic motion the apparently fulfilled life of Mandira, the housewife of a high-ranking police officer.
But the attending doctors' casual chat between themselves recalls in her mind the buried memories of her own baby from a premarital encounter and she becomes anxious to get back her abandoned child of whose whereabouts or fate she knows nothing.
While her high social situation encumbers her efforts to track down her child, the primordial mother in her overrides all the inhibitions and hindrances and finally she meets him in his modest shanty-like accommodation.
Mandira desperately wants to get her son back in her life as the shadow of past guilt keeps shrieking in her conscience, while the incompatible differences between her world and that of the young man looms in the backdrop.
