Rajni Basumatary has written and directed Raag, the Rhythm of Love (2014), Jwlwi - The Seed (2019) and Wild Swans (2023). Jwlwi - The Seed has been awarded as the Best Film in Other language in Assam and Jury's Special Award for Outstanding Performance. She has also acted in a few highly successful and acclaimed films, including Mary Kom and Netflix series Rana Naidu.
Set in the foothills of Bodoland in Northeast India, the story explores the lives of women in a patriarchal society recovering from decades of armed conflict between the State and separatist groups. The romantic ideas of rural life of the young research scholar from the city are crushed after witnessing the effects that militarization and patriarchy have on the everyday lives of these women.
