Konkani cinema is an Indian film industry, where films are made in the Konkani language, which is spoken mainly in the Indian states of Goa, Maharashtra and Karnataka and to a smaller extent in Kerala. Konkani films have been produced in Goa, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Kerala.[1]

As of 2013, when the Indian film industry celebrated its centennial, a total of 45 feature films were released.[2] This was an increase over a total of 31 films made until 2009 as documented by Isidore Dantas in his book Konkani Cholchitram.

The first full-length Konkani film was Sukhi Konn produced by GMB Rodrigues in 1949 but was never released. Mogacho Anvddo, was released on 24 April 1950, and was produced and directed by Jerry Braganza, a native of Mapusa, under the banner of ETICA Pictures.[3][4] Hence, 24 April is celebrated as Konkani Film Day.[5]

Genre: Suspense

Cast: Prince Jacob, John D’Silva, Casiano Eddie D’Souza, Chitra Afonso, Anirudh Kakule, Benhur Silva, Benzer Fernandes, Siddharth Nagoji, Sobita Kudtarkar, Dencilla Dias

Synopsis:The film has used non linear storytelling with flashbacks within flashbacks, stories from different key characters and all characters have a correlation with one another. I am looking forward to seeing how the audience will appreciate such storytelling. Prince Jacob plays the role of Fr Mark, one of the protagonists of the film and the movie is seen through his point of view. During the whole movie, the information that the audience receives is the same that Fr Mark receives. It is an entertaining film that will keep the audience guessing at every point.
