Guwahati: Fans to see Zubeen Garg’s last musical project

Zubeen Garg, one of Assam’s most celebrated singers and philanthropists, was laid to rest with full state honours on September 23 in Guwahati. Thousands of fans gathered to pay their final respects, mourning the 52-year-old artist who died tragically in a scuba diving accident in Singapore.

Days after his passing, his wife Garima Saikia Garg revealed that the singer had been passionately working on a musical love story titled Roi Roi Binale, which will now stand as his final cinematic project.

Zubeen’s vision for ‘Roi Roi Binale’

According to Garima, Zubeen had not only composed the songs and background score for the film but was also playing a key role as a visually impaired artist. He had already completed shooting his scenes but could not finish dubbing his voice. Additionally, the final background score remained incomplete at the time of his passing.

Garima explained, “We were working on a film, which will be his last film. He was very passionate about it and was planning to release it on October 31. Now, we will have to start working on the film and finish it as he thought. The only regret is that his dubbing was not done.”

Wife to fulfil his unfinished dream

Despite the gaps left by his sudden demise, Garima has pledged to ensure the film is released as Zubeen had intended. “It was a pure musical love story. He had acted in a very different role and was very excited about it. We will try to finish the movie as soon as possible and release it on October 31. Whatever he planned, I will carry forward along with the youngsters,” she said.

Fans await an emotional farewell on screen

Zubeen Garg, known for his soulful voice and contributions to Assamese, Bengali, and Hindi music, had built a legacy that extended beyond the stage. His last project, now set for a posthumous release, is expected to be both a tribute and a farewell gift for his fans.

The release of Roi Roi Binale will likely draw emotional responses across the Northeast and beyond, as admirers see Zubeen’s final performance on screen, keeping his memory alive through the art he loved.
