*** Issue of piracy highlighted ***
The house of Sinari’s, Panaji has released their latest video film by
Joywin Fernandes. ‘Piracy’ deals with the issue of piracy of Konkani
audio and video productions which is rampant in Goa. As soon as a new
programme is released, library owners and others have no qualms, burning
the new releases onto a CD and blatantly hiring these out to willing
viewers, who pay a lesser amount of Rs 30 for a day. These people who
sell releases illegally make a huge profit and in most cases, the
producer turns into a pauper.
The story tale revolves around a family. The father returns from the
gulf with some earnings and decides to invest money into making a video
film. The film is produced, released and copies are supplied to various
audio-video shops. Soon the unscrupulous elements begin duplicating the
film for hire and the producer has to bear the brunt. Watch the film to
know how the curse of piracy causes so much of unhappiness. The video
also leaves the viewers with a pertinent thought-How will the Konkani
entertainment industry survive if piracy continues?
Heading the cast is Justino and Antonette de Calangute. Beautiful
performances are enacted where love and support for one another is
depicted and the pain when everything is lost is also well visualised.
The two are supported by Jaju, Samuel Carvalho, Jackie, Rupesh (great in
a cameo), Anthony Fernandes, Marcus, Agostinho and others.
Lenoy Gomendes provides the music and the theme song by Connie-M is
catchy and pleasant. Joywin Fernandes has photographed, produced,
written and directed the video film. The story carries a strong message
that tells the viewer, that piracy can be curbed. It can be curbed best
not with the help of the law but by avoiding the hiring of duplicate
discs and instead buying original ones. Kill Piracy and do buy your own
copy and enjoy the film.
*** Love songs in ‘Nisha’ ***
Pereira Productions, Arpora have released the soundtrack of ‘Nisha’, a
film produced by Neville Pereira. The album has songs from the film
along with some bonus tracks.
The title song ‘Nisha’ by Sudesh Bhonsale has some punchy music and
loads of fillers on the saxophone. The rest of the tracks are love
songs. ‘Mog re Tuzo’ by Reshma and Lawry Travasso, ‘Mog amcho Dogaincho’
by Ulfa and Aurville and “Mog Sodanch Kortolom’ by Kavita and Socorro de
Santa Cruz followed by ‘Tum io Moga’ by Sadhana Sargam and Lawry Travasso.
Jacob, Socorro, Ivy and Alex continue with ‘Birthday song’, ‘You’re My
Love’ by Sadhana Sargam follows and the album ends with ‘Tujea Bogor’
another romantic song by Reshma with Neville.
Neville Pereira has composed the music and lyrics. He also plays the
keyboard for some tracks. He is joined by Ally on the guitar, Shyamraj
on the saxophone and flute with Aurville programming the drums and
Frazer programming the bass. A pleasant album.
