He is a concept creator, story developer and producer of the movie "A Weekend". This movie fulfills his dream and passion of making
an Assamese movie and also to do something for the industry. This is his first effort, but he brings in his experiences and
talent from a foreign land into the movie. Saaz is trying to gif the people of Assam with realisitc, meaningful and technically strong film.
‘A Weekend’- a modern fast paced urban thriller with a back drop on down trend on stock market investment
and its effect on a business man’s life involving relationship with his own people. ‘Money Rules Relationship’
or ‘Relationship Rules Money’, the apparent simple and common notion involving human lives could appear
to be difficult at times. The movie starts on a Friday evening and the story covers only two days of the protagonists,
