Padri Konkani Movie
Padri is a Konkani movie that was released in 2005. Film Director Rajesh Fernandes said the high budget (Rs 60 lakh) film was shot at 58 eye catching locations and woven with seven scintillating songs with 46 actors performing in it. Locations from entire coastal belt from Kasargod to Goa including Mangalore, Kumta and Honnavar were used in the film.
It all began when Rajesh Fernandes along with Raymond Quadros (producer) during one of their visits to Goa watched the play (Padri by Prince Jecob). Soon the idea of turning the play into a movie was born. The unique aspect of the movie is that all the actors and actresses acted on camera for the first time. However, all of them are professional stage artists. The whole movie was filmed without a single indoor shot in 26 days. “In all, it is a package to be viewed by the entire family with model clippings and modern anecdotes,” Mr Fernandes said. The censor board has given ‘U’ certificate without even a single cut, he added. To a query, he said the language used in the movie is a mixture of Mangalorean and Goan Konkani.
