About Ishanou's plotline 

The movie focuses on a young woman Tampha, who is married to a devoted man and has a young daughter. She lives in the peaceful valley of Manipur, usually preoccupied with mundane matters of daily life. However, she starts acting strange all of a sudden, when she starts talking to flowers, having dizzy spells and leaves the house in the middle of the night. The family tries to seek a cure for her illness until they realise that she is not ill at all, rather she is answering the call of a divine spirit who has chosen her. 


Ishanou's cast and crew

The movie stars Kangabam Tomba and Anoubam Kiranmala in the lead roles. It also features an ensemble cast, including Baby Molly, Soraisam Dhiren and Baby Premita in supporting roles. The movie first premiered at Cannes in 1991.
