'''Assamese cinema''', also known as '''Jollywood''', is the [[Film|cinema]] industry in the [[Assamese language]], watched primarily in [[Assam]], [[India]]. The industry was born in 1935 when [[Jyoti Prasad Agarwala]] released his movie ''[[Joymoti (1935 film)|Joymoti]]''. Since then the Assamese cinema has developed a slow-paced, sensitive style, especially with the movies of [[Bhabendra Nath Saikia]] and [[Jahnu Barua]].<ref name="Assam General Knowledge">{{cite book|title=Assam General Knowledge|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=reuQbFK9Rz4C&pg=PA109|access-date=27 November 2012|publisher=Bright Publications|isbn=978-81-7199-451-9|page=109}}</ref> The industry is called '''Jollywood''',<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.northeasttoday.in/mission-china-is-a-project-not-just-a-movie/|title='Mission China is a Project, Not Just a Movie' » Northeast Today|date=15 September 2017|work=Northeast Today|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190111003723/https://www.northeasttoday.in/mission-china-is-a-project-not-just-a-movie/ |archive-date=11 January 2019|access-date=16 February 2018|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.reviewmantra.com/2016/11/cinema-and-its-impact-on-indian-society.html|title=Cinema and its impact on Indian society|work=ReviewMantra|access-date=16 February 2018|language=en-US}}</ref> named for Agarwala's [[Jyoti Chitraban Film Studio]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/1050430/asp/northeast/story_4677978.asp|title=The Telegraph - Calcutta : Northeast|website=www.telegraphindia.com|access-date=16 February 2018}}</ref>

Despite its long history and its artistic successes, for a state that has always taken its cinema seriously, Assamese cinema has never really managed to break through on the national scene despite its film industry making a mark in the National Awards over the years. Although the beginning of the 21st century has seen [[Bollywood]]-style Assamese movies hitting the screen, the industry has not been able to compete in the market, significantly overshadowed by the larger industries such as [[Bollywood]].<ref>Lakshmi B. Ghosh.

==History==
===1930s===
{{See also|List of Assamese films of the 1930s}}
[[File:Joymoti film screenshot.jpg|thumb|right|The first Assamese picture, ''Joymati'' (1935)]]
The origins of Assamese cinema can be traced back to [[Rupkonwar Jyotiprasad Agarwala]], who was also a noted poet, playwright, composer and [[freedom fighter]]. He was instrumental in the production of the first Assamese Film ''[[Joymoti (1935 film)|Joymati]]'' in 1935,<ref name="Assam General Knowledge"/> under the banner of Chitralekha Movietone. Due to the lack of trained technicians, Jyotiprasad, while making his maiden film, shouldered the added responsibilities as the scriptwriter, producer, director, choreographer, editor, set and costume designer, lyricist, and music director.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=http://www.dimorianreview.com/2015/07/assamese-film-industry-growth.html|title=ASSAMESE FILM INDUSTRY: GROWTH, CHALLENGES AND FUTURE PROSPECTS|access-date=9 February 2020}}</ref> The film, completed with a budget of 60,000 rupees was released on 10 March 1935. The picture failed.<ref name="Assam General Knowledge"/> Like so many early Indian films, the negatives and complete prints of ''Joymati'' are missing. Some effort has been made privately by Altaf Mazid to restore and subtitle whatever is left of the prints.<ref>Mazid, Altaf (2006) ''[http://www.himalmag.com/2006/march/report_5.html Joymoti : The first radical film of India]'', Himal Magazine, March 2006. {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061208113612/http://www.himalmag.com/2006/march/report_5.html |date=8 December 2006 }}</ref>
Despite the significant financial loss from ''Joymati'', the second picture ''[[Indramalati]]'' was filmed between 1937 and 1938 finally released in 1939. [[Pramathesh Barua]] released his Assamese version of ''[[Devdas (1937 film)|Devdas]]'' in 1937. It was the last of the 3 language version following Bengali and Hindi.

===1940s===
{{See also|List of Assamese films of the 1940s}}
Agarwala made another film after a lapse of two years titled ''Indramalati''. It was his second and last film. The eminent composer and singer of Assam [[Bhupen Hazarika]], played a prominent role in the play. With the passing away of Jyotiprasad, the Assamese film scene witnessed a temporary lull for about a couple of years.<ref name=":0" /> But things changed with the onset of [[World War II]], Taking advantage of this, [[Rohini Kr. Baruah]] made a film on a relevant historical topic called ''[[Manomati]]'' in 1941. It was followed by films like [[Parvati Prasad Baruwa]]'s ''Rupahi'' (1946), Kamal Narayan Choudhury's ''Badan Barphukan'' (1947), Phani Sharma's ''Siraj'', Asit Sen's ''Biplabi'', Prabin Phukan's ''Parghat'' and Suresh Goswami's ''[[Runumi]]''.

===1950s===
{{See also|List of Assamese films of the 1950s}}
In the 1950s, ''[[Piyali Phukan]]'' went on to win a National award. The movie was produced by Gama Prasad Agarwalla under the aegis of Rup Jyoti Productions. The film was directed by [[Phani Sarma|Phani Sharma]] and the music was composed by [[Bhupen Hazarika]]. The film was about the life of the freedom fighter Piyali Phukan, who stood against the British Rule. He was executed by the British on charges of treason. This film technically was advanced for that time.{{Clarify|reason=What was technologically distinctive about it?|date=October 2018}} In 1955, a new talent [[Nip Barua]] made his directorial debut with ''[[Smrit Paras]]''. His subsequent films ''[[Mak Aaru Moram]]'' and ''[[Ranga Police]]'' won many state awards and the silver medal at the national level. [[Bhupen Hazarika]] also produced and directed his first film ''[[Era Bator Sur]]''. [[Prabhat Mukherjee]] made a film on the universality of motherhood, ''[[Puberun]]'' (1959), which was shown in the [[Berlin Film Festival]].

===1960s===
{{See also|List of Assamese films of the 1960s}}
The next notable film production was ''[[Lachit Borphukan]]'' by [[Sarbeswar Chakraborty]]. Bhupen Hazarika made his musical ''[[Shakuntala]]'' in 1961, which proved equally successful with critics and the press, winning the president's silver medal. Following this, a chain of films went into regular production and got released, including Nip Barua's ''Narakasur'', Anil Choudhury's ''Matri Swarga'', Brojen Barua's ''Itu Situ Bahuto'' and Mukta and Anwar Hussain's ''Tejimala''.

By the middle of the sixties, film began to be produced in [[Assam]] on a regular basis. However, between 1935 and 1970 a total of 62 films were produced. Besides the film makers already referred to, many others engaged in film making during the period included [[Pravin Sharma]], [[Saila Barua]], [[Amar Pathak]], [[Indukalpa Hazarika]], [[Brajen Barua]], [[Dibon Barua]], [[Debkumar Basu]], [[Amulya Manna]], [[Gauri Barman]], [[Atul Bardoloi]], [[Sujit Singha]], [[Nalin Duara]] and [[Prafulla Barua]].<ref name=":0" />
