'' Ekhon Nedekha Nodir Xhipare '' was sent to compete in the category of best Assamese film in 59th National Film Awards . But the 11-member jury , led by Rohini Hattangadi , rejected the film for " lack of cultural purity " . Assamese filmmaker Hiren Bora , one of the jury members , said that , " The jury was of the view that a major chunk of the film was shot in Mumbai and most of the dialogues were in Hindi . " This led to a controversy since the official censorship authority in India had already certified the film as Assamese . A public-interest litigation was filed by enajori.com , a socio-cultural organisation that promotes cultural heritage of Assam , against the jury 's decision . In response to the plea the Delhi High Court issued a notice to the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting , the Directorate of Film Festivals , the Central Board of Film Certification , Rohini Hattangadi ( chairperson of Feature Film section ) , and Hiren Bora
