Devika, My dear, You don't know what you are talking about. I am protesting the word 'Paltadacho' because as according to me, in Konkanni context, it tries to sell me 'poltodcho' . If you don't know your konkanni, don't blame me. The title must be as good as the movie. I can accept 'P o l t o d c h o' but not 'paltadacho', because the Konkanni I grew with, has no word like paltadacho meaning poltodcho. If such a word does exist, then it is a bastardized version and anything bastardized will not work, at least with Konkanni. I have not said anything about not accepting the movie, only that true Goans should boycot it until the name is sensibly changed or corrected. However, I shall want you to know that I have not yet seen the movie and shall eagerly see it as amd when to the name is announced as ' POLTODCHO MUNIS' btw KONKANNI IS DOWNSTREAM TODAY BECAUSE OF PSEUDO-GOANS and PSEUDO KONKANNIs. And I am calling you 'one' because you have the cheek to open up your gob on this.

This is nothing short of absurd. Have you seen the film? For once we have a Goan filmmaker who has defied all odds to make a really professional, sensitive film, shorn of all the filmi melodrama one sees even in 'parallel' Indian cinema, and you believe you have the right to challenge him on such a petty count? Please keep your low-level provincial politics out of art and literature.
