All Assam Students’ Union (AASU) president Utpal Sarma has expressed deep anger and sorrow over the widespread piracy of Roi Roi Binale, the final dream project of late singer and filmmaker Zubeen Garg. Calling it a “cultural tragedy for Assam,” Sarma said the illegal circulation of the film has caused great emotional pain to fans and to all who respect Zubeen’s artistic legacy.
In a detailed post on Facebook, the AASU leader urged the Assam Police to take the strongest possible action against those responsible for leaking or distributing the film online. He described the act of piracy as a serious crime that disrespects both the memory and the hard work of one of Assam’s most beloved artists.
“The piracy of Zubeen Garg’s dream film Roi Roi Binale must be called a cultural tragedy for Assam. The police must act firmly so that no one dares to upload even a single scene on Facebook or any other platform,” Sarma wrote.
He also revealed that full copies of the film have appeared on several websites shortly after its theatrical release. Sarma strongly criticised those sharing or watching pirated versions, saying that such people cannot be called real fans of Zubeen Garg. “Those who are spreading the movie illegally are not fans but criminals,” he added.
Appealing to the public and Zubeen’s supporters, Sarma urged everyone to show respect by watching the film only in theatres. “We must pledge to honour our beloved artist by watching Roi Roi Binale only in cinemas, not on any app or pirated website. Let’s not share or promote any illegal version,” he wrote, ending his post with the hashtag #JusticeForZubeenGarg.
