Nachom-ia Kumpasar ('Let's dance to the rhythm'), is a Konkani film. It is based on the lives of two jazz musicians, Chris Perry and Lorna.[2] The film, which takes its title from the name of a song by the two artists, was directed by Bardroy Barretto.[3] It starred Vijay Maurya and Palomi Ghosh in the lead roles.[4] The story is told through over 20 popular Konkani songs from the 1960s and 1970s that have been re-recorded for this film.[5] The film is set in the 1960s and is a tribute to the 'unsung' Konkani musicians of that era.[6][7][8]

The Goa premiere was held at Ravindra Bhavan, Margao.[9] The film was crowd-funded.[10]

Cast

Plot

The bitter sweet relationship between a young singer and her musician mentor set against the backdrop of the jazz clubs of Bombay and the musicians from Goa during the 60s. In the 1960s Lawry a young Goan musician playing in the nightclubs of Bombay, returns to Goa to find a singer for his band where he meets Dona. While Lawry moulds the impressionable young Dona into a talented singer, they fall deeply in love. The emotional rollercoaster of a love story is destined to tragedy. The film weaves its lilting narrative through 20 timeless songs based on actual events this quasi-biographical film is a tribute to one of Goa’s greatest, yet barely acknowledged legacy - its musicians, who once upon a time set the jazz clubs of Bombay on fire and actually shaped the music of Bollywood cinema. Nachom-ia Kumpasar is a nostalgic musical tale set in the times these musicians lived and died in - unrecognized, unappreciated…and unsung.
