Winner of the 70th National Film Award for Best Regional Film (Assamese), the heartwarming comedy-drama will make its exclusive digital and satellite debut on Waves, bringing a celebrated regional gem to audiences across India.

Emuthi Puthi follows a whimsical road trip between a rebellious teenager, Ritika, and her eccentric grandmother, Makhoni Aita.
