Baandhon means the 'tying up', is an Assamese drama which symbolically uses the word to mean, tying the knot of married life, which is unbreakable unto the last breadth, about staying together through thick and thin.

The storyline is about a couple who quarrels on silly things and decide to seperate. That decision is shattered when they discovers a shocking truth, again reunited for life. The movie have a similar plotline with that of Mahesh Bhatts 1980s Saaransh, which is a masterpiece. The story revolves around adjustment of an old couple with the realities of life.

Baandhon is similar to Saaransh except with a small difference. Baandhon is heavily dramatized, feels a little left out of master flavour generally observed in Jahnu Baruah's narratives. Baandhon lacks J. Baruah's master touch unlike 'Xagaroloi bohut dur'. The performances are unrealistic and not convincing, esp the supporting casts. But Bishnu Khargoria is the bright point in performance, he still gave his best, a natural flow of emotions as an Assamese adult, living a frustrating rural life. Jatin Baruah is average as the lawyer, with a minor role not much imply significance. The serenity is retained in narration, calmly progresses, throughout. It stands as a good film in general that helps to understand the reality of human relations. It has both it's share of brilliancy and flaws, For all these issues I would give a 64 on a scale of 100.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
