Kum Kang Kum Kabi Chang (English: Turning Poet In Dry Season) is a 2015 Manipuri film directed by Bishwamittra and produced by S. Minakumari. The film features Gurumayum Bonny, Leishangthem Rahul, Sonia Hijam and Bala Hijam in the lead roles. The story of the film was written by Dr. M. Priyobrata and screenplay by Bishwamittra. Kum Kang Kum Kabi Chang was released at MSFDS (Manipur State Film Development Society), Imphal, on 15 November 2015.[1][2] The film was screened in various theatres of Manipur in March 2016.
Kum Kang Kum Kabi Chang is based on Dr. M. Priyobrata's famous radio drama of the same title. It won Akashvani National Award. It is Prithi Theatre's first production.[3]
In spite of its good content, the film could not attract large number of audiences in theatres since it was screened just after the stoppage of screening films in theatres and other film-related activities, which was relaxed in March 2016.
