Reception

• The 2021 film "Boomba Ride," was fully filmed in the state of Assam, on the banks of the Brahmaputra River, where he spent his formative years. The picture of his youthful hero features Bora. He amplifies his venom, his plots, and his desire to reach the highest point. In Where's My Friend's House, Boomba is Apu's distant cousin, one of Satyajit Ray and Abbas Kiarostami's kids who is imprisoned in a primitive educational system yet driven by an unyielding determination to confront adults' dimwitted viewpoints.^[17]
• The way the movie creates its characters gives the movie an identity of its own. Boomba is not as naive as he may appear due to his direct approach to teachers' negotiations with hiss and the humorous results it yields. I also appreciate how each child's persona was given an air of imperfection. They frequently bully, are rude, self-centered, and plagued with self-doubt.^[18]
