Agartala: Tripura deputy chief minister Jishnu Dev Varma on Thursday released the Kokborok feature film, Kwtham Kothama, which is based on three famous indigenous folk tales of Tripura — Nuai, Chetuang and Kkuchuk Kherengbar — in Tripura University auditorium.
Speaking after releasing the film, Dev Varma said that folk tales are not new to him since he has worked in film-making during his college days in the 1980s.
“I remember way back in 1980s, I was working with a cultural organisation and that time I had worked with folk tales. We find the history of the people in folk tales. The folk tales occupy a special place in our society. The word ‘folk’ stands for a community having common tradition,” Dev Varma told the students of the varsity.
