Maj Rati Keteki [2][3] is a 2017 Indian Assamese drama film written and directed by Santwana Bardoloi.
The book in question is an imaginary one, "A River Runs Ashore", woven into a meta-narrative.
The conceit of his frequent meandering into memories gives shape to a saga of childhood and loss set in rustic North Guwahati.
He admits to lacking the courage to weave a painful, harsh truth into his stories.
At the end of the day however, he decides to face his own truth, alone, away from the appreciative audience.
