For Zubeen Garg, Roi Roi Binale was not just another project but a dream close to his heart. Known for his versatility as a singer, composer, and actor, Zubeen took on a unique role in the film. Garima revealed that he was set to play the part of a blind artist in a musical love story. Something that showcased his artistic range beyond music.
“He was very excited about it. He would have come as a blind artist. It’s a purely musical love story, and I think people would love it too,” Garima said.
Unfortunately, one of the biggest setbacks was that Zubeen was unable to complete the voice dubbing for the film before his untimely death. Garima called it a “void” in the project but assured fans that all other aspects, including the music, have been finalized.
Emotional Farewell in Assam
Zubeen Garg, fondly called Goldie by friends and family, was laid to rest on Tuesday in Kamarkuchi village in Sonapur near Guwahati. His final rites were performed by his sister, Palme Borthakur, while Garima paid her tearful last respects. The funeral was conducted with full state honours, including a gun salute, underscoring his immense contribution to Assamese culture and Indian music.
Before his cremation, Zubeen’s mortal remains were kept at the Bhogeswar Baruah Sports Complex in Guwahati. Thousands of fans, admirers, and well-wishers gathered to pay their final tributes, reflecting the deep love and respect the people of Assam had for their beloved cultural icon.
The Untimely Death of a Cultural Icon
Zubeen Garg, aged 52, passed away in September 2025 in Singapore during his visit to attend the Northeast India Festival. Reports suggest he died in an alleged drowning incident, a tragedy that shocked not only Assam but the entire nation.
His body was flown to Delhi and later transported to Guwahati, where an outpouring of grief awaited. From the airport to the cremation ground, roads were lined with fans holding flowers and banners, mourning the loss of an artist who gave them timeless music.
Zubeen Garg’s Legacy in Music and Cinema
Zubeen Garg was more than just a playback singer—he was an institution in himself. With his powerful voice and experimental compositions, he carved out a space for Assamese music on the national stage. His hit songs in Bollywood, including “Ya Ali” from Gangster, made him a household name across India.
Apart from singing, he was also a composer, actor, director, and philanthropist, contributing immensely to the growth of Assamese cinema. Roi Roi Binale, being his final cinematic project, holds great emotional value for his fans and will serve as a part of his enduring legacy.
Garima’s Emotional Reflections

Garima Saikia expressed her deep sorrow over not being able to complete the film with her husband’s dubbing. “I regret that his voice dubbing did not happen because he had also acted in this film and in a very different role. That will always remain a void,” she said.
