National award-winning Assamese filmmaker Jaicheng Jai Dohutia has made a film on Baghjan fire that raged for five months gutted houses and properties of people in the surrounding villages, forcing them to take shelter in rehabilitation camps.
The title of the film is “Baghjan”. The film narrates the misery of villagers affected by the blowout at an oil well operated by Oil India Limited (OIL). Dohutia has shot the entire film at real locations in Baghjan and the cast included victims of the infamous fire. Although the makers have completed the shoot of the film, they are now arranging funds to complete the post-production work of the film.
A massive fire had started at the oil well at Baghjan in Assam’s Tinsukia district on June 9 after a blowout in the oil well on May 27. Since all the actors in the film are the real-life victims of the Baghjan fire, the entire film has a feel of reality to it.
