Guwahati: Assamese romantic comedy Prem XL hits theaters on October 2. Tony Deori Basumatary wrote and directed the film, which Prerona Borah Bordoloi produced for D MOJO Art and Heavy Budget. It targets family audiences by focusing on college life, romance, and friendship.
The story follows a student who drops out and returns home. He lands in a romance with a woman living in his parents' boarding house. Basumatary keeps the plot under wraps.
