A mother kills six kids with wine. The village calls her cursed. But is she?
Sangra and Lusang’s two children and four others die after consuming a local wine that was prepared by Lusang. She is ostracised by her community over their superstitious belief of her being a doumoh – a poison woman.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The doumoh legend reflects real tribal beliefs in parts of Northeast India, where women have historically been accused of supernatural contamination during menstruation or after childbirth.
Director Manju Borah is a rare female voice in Assamese cinema; this film deliberately withholds the poisoning scene itself, forcing viewers to rely on the same hearsay that destroys Lusang.
