The film stars debutantes Lima Das and Arghadeep Baruah in the lead, supported by Neetali Das, Sagar Saurabh, and Manash K Das.Aamis received its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival where it was nominated in five categories in the festival's "International Narrative" section. The film is scheduled for theatrical release on 22 November 2019.The story revolves around the life of two peoples, Nirmala, a wife (played by Lima Das) and Sumon, a medical student (played by Arghadeep Baruah) as they develop feelings for each other with a twist of culinary endeavours from the medical student as a catalyst. The film takes its time to develop the base, and then moves on to explore the themes of cannibalism and dark-psyche, with an ending that's commendable enough to be haunting and pleasant at the same time.
