Alifa, the much anticipated movie from debutant Assam filmmaker Deep Choudhury is finally hitting the theatres across Assam on Friday.
The movie starring Baharul Islam and Jaya Seal Ghosh in the lead roles and other veterans from both the Assamese as well as Bengali movie industry has already garnered rave reviews from critics as well as appreciation from general movie goers of Kolkata.
Alifa was released in Kolkata on March 30 last where it was overwhelmingly received by the connoisseurs of good cinema.
Though the movie was slated for simultaneous release in both Assam and West Bengal, the release in the home state got delayed by a week because of ‘unavoidable circumstances’.
Now the movie is finally getting released at around six theatres in various places across Assam.
In Guwahati, the movie will be screened at Anuradha Cineplex in its 8 pm slot while, Gold Cinema at ASTC complex in Paltan Bazaar will screen ‘Alifa’ at 2:15 pm in its auditorium 1.
