At the beginning of Aamis, it’s easy to think that the film will be a unique forbidden romance drama where the lovers could only be satiated by food (and perhaps each other). To a certain extent, that’s correct. Like their love for unique food, it’s the yearning for the unusual and the strange that drives this relationship, with the feelings blossoming between them fulfilling something that their relationships and careers can’t, and the performances between newcomers Lima Das and Arghadeep Baruah make this feeling palpable, taking the two to a surprising, if not totally unexpected, climax that most viewers wouldn’t expect from Bollywood, much less Assamese cinema. Aamis is a provocative romance that might be hard to stomach for some, but undeniably has its own flavor.
