In the world of Assamese entertainment, few names command as much respect across different mediums as Rajdweep. A screenwriter, playwright, lyricist, and journalist, Rajdweep has bridged the gap between traditional folk storytelling and modern cinematic sensibilities, making him a central figure in the region’s cultural renaissance.
The King of the ‘Bhramyaman’ (Mobile Theatre)
While many writers find their niche in one area, Rajdweep’s heart beats for the Mobile Theatre of Assam. Often called the “Youngest Playwright” to dominate this massive industry, he has penned over 25 full-length plays for legendary troupes like Hengool, Rajmukut, and Bordoisila.
His plays are known for their high emotional stakes and socially relevant themes:
- “Bahadur” (Hengool Theatre): A massive hit that tackled the dark world of human organ trafficking, winning him the Best Popular Playwright of the Year award.
- “Birikhor Birina” (Rajmukut Theatre): A record-breaker at the Nalbari Raas Mahotsav 2022, becoming the highest-grossing play in the festival’s history.+1
- “Bandookor Kobita”: A poignant love story set against the backdrop of Assam’s insurgency, which earned him the Best Play of the Year from Asom Sahitya Sanmilani.
Conquering Bollywood: The Lyricist and Screenwriter
Rajdweep holds the distinction of being the first lyricist from Assam to write a full-length Assamese song for a mainstream Bollywood film.
- A Death in the Gunj (2016): He wrote the hauntingly beautiful ‘Jiri Jiri’.+1
- Jagga Jasoos (2017): He penned the energetic Bihu track ‘Lahe Lahe’, bringing the rhythm of Assam to global audiences.+1
His talent for screenwriting was validated on a national level when his script “Ishqlogy” won 4th place at the Cinestaan India’s Storyteller’s Script Contest (2018), where he was personally awarded by Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani from a pool of over 4,000 contestants.
Recent Milestones: Dr. Bezbaruah 2 and Beyond
As of 2025-2026, Rajdweep’s influence on Assamese cinema has only deepened. He was the screenwriter behind “Dr. Bezbaruah 2”, the sequel to the 1969 cult classic. Working with international stars like Adil Hussain, Rajdweep successfully modernised a “classic” thriller for a new generation, helping it become a box-office sensation.
His latest work for the 2025-26 theatre season, “Bihurani” (Brindaban Theatre) and “Pagol Thana” (Hengool Theatre), shows that he hasn’t lost his touch with the pulse of the masses.
