Career
Dr Santwana Bordoloi is a pediatrician who works at Dispur Hospital. In 1996, she made her directorial debut with Adajya (The Flight). The film is based on Indira Goswami’s (Mamoni Raisom Goswami's) novel, Dontal Haatir Uiye Khowa Haoda (The Moth Eaten Howdah of a Tusker), and it won the National Award for Best Feature Film in Assamese, and also was showcased at various international film festivals. She completed the film in about a month while managing her medical practice.
The two-decade gap in her films gave her critics the space to call her a "one-film wonder". However, she came out with Maj Rati Keteki in 2017, which also won an award for Best Assamese Feature Film at the 2017 National Awards. Film star Adil Hussain won Nargis Dutta Award – Special Mention (feature film) at 64th National Film Awards for acting in this film.
