Jahnu Barua's Ajeyo gives a new meaning

At a time when communalism has started rearing its ugly fangs with alarming regularity all over India, Assamese storyteller Jahnu Barua's Ajeyo (InvincibIe) is just the kind of film we needed to restore sanity, and to believe in the cardinal truth: that nothing can ever defeat the spirit of the human mind.On the face of it, the 117 minute-long film follows Gojen Keot (Rupam Chetia), a high school dropout waging a war against the religious/social disparities and stigmas of the society in the pre-independence era. But look deeper and you'd realise that Ajeyo is also about exposing the delicate issues of caste discrimination, child marriage, and Hindus and Muslims living pigeonholed by religion in a small village in Assam.

Keot is an honest man with unshakable conviction and ideals, and has dedicated his life to fight the bourgeoisies. The revolutionary youth, who lives alone with his grandmother, struggles to make both-ends-meet and takes up tutoring a young Muslim girl Hasina (Jupitora Bhuyan). In the end, he ends up marrying her to save her life.However, this is not the end to his character's repertoire. Gojen, who dreams of an independent and promising India, gets caught up in the freedom movement as a rookie volunteer and fails to live up to his assigned role. This leads to the death of two freedom fighters. Unable to come to terms with it, Gojen suffers a painful, guilt-ridden life
