    It was a pleasant experience to watch first Konkani movie ever played in London. Most of the actors, perhaps acting for the first time on the silver screen, have done a fantastic job. The music, songs and dances are amazing. I was very much impressed with the act of our Goinkar brother!!!. Our own Pangalite, Laveena from Pangla did justice to the role of 'Selfie' obsessed naughty wife.
