(The River of Fables), represents a watershed moment in contemporary Indian regional cinema. By adapting four traditional folk anthologies from Lakshminath Bezbaroa’s classic Burhi Aair Sadhu (Grandmother's Tales), Hazarika strips away the sanitized, moralistic veneer typical of children's bedtime stories. This paper explores how Kothanodi utilizes the genre of folk-horror to critique the dark underbelly of maternal archetypes, patriarchal complicity, and the cyclical nature of societal violence in traditional Assamese folklore.

While the women in Kothanodi execute much of the immediate violence, the film masterfully illustrates how their actions are dictated, enabled, and ignored by the men around them. The fathers and husbands are characterized by their profound absence or passive compliance. Tejimola’s father is away on business, leaving her at the mercy of her abuser. Malati's husband actively participates in the ritualistic infanticide of his own children. Through this lens, Hazarika argues that the horrors of the "river of fables" are not merely the products of individual female malice, but the inevitable outcomes of a rigid, oppressive patriarchal structure that demands compliance at any cost.
