On 22nd of
this month I had the opportunity to see the much appreciated Konkani Movie “NACHOM-IA
KUMPASAR” at ESG Theatre – Maquinez Palace, Panjim. The attendance was full and
the ticket price was Rs. 200/-
It is a worth see this movie by spending 2.5 hours and Rs.200/- as it
contained a very good entertainment of
original recorded songs of Lorna and a very sorrowful tale of a young innocent
school going girl named Dona played by Paloni Gosh. She played very appropriately and excellently
the role of a Crooner. Being a non-Goan,
her Konkani language and Konkani accent were perfectly Goan. In her pretty
looks she resembled a Goan as well but
with her elegant party dress code as a Crooner she displayed all the
ingredients of any posh looking Bollywood actress. Her looks, presentation and excellence
brought an extra colour to this film.
Her depiction of every action looked very genuine and the romantic part
she innocently played with her new found man is worth admiring for its sheer
genuineness. Kudos to the excellent direction.
While the role of her boyfriend named Lawry played by another non-Goan
Vijay Maurya as a Music director was appropriate.
The main story is explained and expressed more in the form of an Operetta
thru all but one or two songs earlier rendered by Lorna thru her Konkani Albums
starting from early seventies. Listening to these songs it looks the entire
Movie is dominated by Lorna’s voice only but once only Lorna’s resemblance is
depicted when Meena Leitao appeared on the screen.
When I watched this Film I saw it in its originality only without referring to
any unnamed characters of course contrary to the noise that is made saying this
story refers to so and so persons.
The three prominent comedians of Konkani Stage, namely John D’Silva,
Prince Jacob and Neto gave an extra booster for this movie.
The director of this film Bardroy Barreto deserves highest compliments for
producing such a nice movie.
