Inacio de Canacona, after the acclaimed ‘Hi Porza’ (in
which a Priest solves a murder mystery), now presents
a family melodrama of jealousy and misunderstandings
where love finally triumphs in “Maka Tumchi Ghoroz
Na”.
There is this family of Gaspar, his wife Rosita, sons
Steve and Cliff and SteveÂ’s wife Assumta. The family
is close-knit and God-fearing. Steve, a military man,
receives a telegram to report at the border, as the
impending war has begun. Steve leaves that very day,
leaving his one-day old wife, in the care of his
parents and younger brother.
Sooraj a no good loafer, who wanted to possess
Assumta, tries to woo her in the absence of her
husband with the help of his alcoholic father, Faria.
The two are unsuccessful and so they hatch a plot to
destroy AssumtaÂ’s happiness. Meanwhile, Steve is
reported missing on the warfront. Sooraj uses Faria to
poison the minds of Gaspar and Rosita, with false
tales of Assumta. Soon the much-loved daughter-in-law
becomes a victim of the plot that is going to destroy
her.
Cliff, who has joined the police force returns home to
find his once upon happy household in a turmoil. What
happens later is to be watched out in this drama,
which emphasises that a united family cannot be
destroyed by external forces. The play moves at a fine
pace, with some good dialogues and songs during the
acts. The cast comprising mostly of new faces, perform
quite well. Fatima as Rosita and Bushka as Assumta,
one a veteran and the other a budding talent, give
fine performances in their respective roles. Gabriel
Mascarenhas as Gaspar acts well, but should curtail
the excessive movement of his hands.
Nevil as Steve, Baptista as Cliff and Inacio as Sooraj
act well and Peter as the drunk Faria is perfectly
irritating! The humour is provided by Romaldo as
‘Calor’. He gets a lot of support from the other cast
and raises some good laughs.
Braz RodriguesÂ’ music is average and there are songs
in between the acts by Inacio de Canacona and Putush
de Panchwadi. Two wonderful solos are rendered by
Edward Estibeiro, especially the first one that is
sung like a duet in the male and female voice, with a
quick change in the dressing.
The lovers of Konkani drama should encourage these new
playwrights by patronizing their dramas. The play is a
must see!!! Not to be missed!!!
