Dubai, Jun 29: In a keenly contested Konkani variety entertainment competition, a spirited 'Spark Dubai' emerged winners beating five other teams on Friday June 28. The event was held at JSS School Jumairah.

Manglore Konkans Dubai organised the event as part of their silver jubilee celebrations.

Karaval Milan Dubai bagged the first runner-up spot, while 'Kordeleche Kalakar' won the second runner-up title.

Ronald Nazareth Baindoor of Karaval Milan was adjudged the best MC of the competition. Alphonse Dsouza of Spark Dubai declared best actor

Spark Dubai which came out with the theme of 'corruption in India' through a hilarious skit 'Ek Chai' and splendid patriotic dance to a Konkani song by young girls not only impressed the judges but also inspired the packed audience present in the hall.

    My sincere thanks to Mangalore Konkans for organizing this unique contest. Excellent and great job by Spark Dubai. Mind blowing all round performance.Special thanks to Dayan and Walter for their fine efforts and made possible to present the concept of 'Police Department'. Always we remember the ""kadak Chaayi".I am sure everyone enjoyed the event thoroughly. The Bharath Matha dance was just superb.all the kids performed beautifully. God bless them. Spark dubai must emerge into a strong independent Association and the core objective is to coleect huge funds and help the poor,sick and needy. Let us make Spark dubai a strong social Association. I must thank Anil Prakash/Nelson/Renny/Ronald for their useful help. Good luck to each memebers of Spark Dubai. Yet look forward fine events in future.

    Dear Organizer, Appreciate your hard work to conduct the spordo. Fair Judgment by the team of Juries. Some suggestion for the future. 1) As commented by others, you should have ed one prize (At least token of appreciation) best actor within each team. 2) Best all-round performance by female actor.3) Best MC prize winner is the famous MC him self. No doubt he is the winner but Mega prize winner team (Spark Dubai)MC is as 10th grade boy born and bought up in UAE and speak fluent Konkani language with out any mistakes, should have also rewarded instantaneously to encourage new talents as Mangalore konkan-Dubai MOTTO is to promote Konkani culture.

    Dear Well wisher !

    I think it was only Rony Byndoor who explained very well as to how konkani had started and gave somewhat a detail description about our history. Guess if you were present, then you would not post such a comment about the best MC. And most of them were supporting Rony when they were going to announce the best MC! So just sit back and relax.

    As per my knowledge mogachi lahran is more into music and Their participation doesnt look like to compete..looks like more experimenting on acting skills to add up the standard of their serial. anyhow i liked their stage setting was eye catching.unfortunately sound did not support them was the drawback.

    Dear organisers,
    A well job done, but next time please make sure that you keep two awards for best acting. One for male actor and other one for female. In Kulshekar group, the lady key role played well. Also woman police constable in Spark Dubai team. One of them must have given the award. However, police inspector Alphonse truly deserve best actor award. I watched his Ami Nathlya Vellar play also, it was too good

    Before the event lots of hype created by Mogachim Lahran team. But they failed miserably. I expected much better competition from them. Hope in future they will do better.

    Good Organised event by Mangalore Konkans, enjoyed the show. Time frame, house full crowd steal the show. The competition was looks like for professional actors. There should be a limitation for professional actors and encouragement for new talents. A Best new Talent, Best Stage setting, Best Folk Dance..etc. prizes would have encouraged.. Overall good event.. noticeable thing is Sound system works fine all..even after the competition.. but not for last participant .??? Good Job MK.

    Dear Gasperi,
    I have witnessed yesterday's contest, but did not find any professional artistes in any of the teams. In Dubai there are no professional artistes. "Nachonk Gothu Nathlyak Aangann Soma na" is the say goes to those blame 'professional' artistes. Everyone did thuer best, but super performers emerge winners.

    Congratulations to Mangalore Konkans for organising this great show and equal congratulations to all the participants of Konkan Talent Show. Judges have done good job though the audience opinion poll would have resuled in the same judgement and result. Spark Dubai obviously were superb with their crisp and excellent performance. Sootheing voice and excellent singing talent of Sabitha Mathias and the mimicry of Anil had spiced up the show. Deepak machado's quiz was a bit confusing but intersting. In all a great family show and thanks to all those who involved to make this a successful event.
    Best Regards

    A weekend will always be memorable with the event like this. Once again Mangalore Konkans had set up an arena for talent display which surely entertained and enthralled the audience. It was a spectacle to behold with each team giving their best which of course is the outcome of the relentless efforts invested by the team members to give this brilliant show. I commend all the teams which participated, undoubtedly they have done their best and congratulate the winners. Competitions like this would surely give a greater scope to increase the width and depth of one's creative genius in portraying an act with a message in short span of time. Each team presented lot of creativity. Nice show Karavali Milan, Kordeleche Kalakar,Uswas,konkan bells,Mogachi lahran and the winner Spark Dubai who stole the show with a well presented satire.

    It was a nice programme fully enternained us.. Congrats to Mangalore konkans for arranging such a wonderful programme in konkani. I appreacite your time management. Even in stage setting time you not wasted time by giving chance to Singers, singing was not made us bore bcoz all were super hit songs.
    All teams had done well, congrats to all participants. Middle of the programme sound system had little problem.
    Ek chai skit was superb and chook konachi also gave us nice lesson. My one small suggestion is when you inviting new talents , dont entertain professional artist. hope you will organise such a lovely programme in future also.
