    This is a very special event. We say people don't participate in Konkani Cutural events. Then how come more than ten thousand crowd gathered for this event ? It is basically due to the quality and theme of the event. It was very sure to the public that this is going to be a great quality event. And everybody gathered there enjoyed every single minute. Ami Ani Amchi has set a different standard in Konkani Entertainment history. Role of Kelarai parishioners and volunteers is exemplary to others. Madanthyar, Bajpe, Omzoor, Neermarga and Kelarai teams have performed great. It is request to Bajpe, Omzoor, Neermarga and Kelarai teams that they should just republish their performance, make it little musical and present again please in some other forum. All are excellent.

    Lovely event. I love brass band. Everybody started to dance for brass band during the event. Children were seen dancing near Special Dance Stage in hundreds without a break. Entire community has happily participated in this PePe Re Pe pe Dum by Ami Ani Amchi. Looking forward for Season 2. After seeing the crowd, I feel next time it has to be arranged at Nehru Maidan. Kulshekar church grounds, Madanthyar church ground or Shirva Church ground may be considered. Long live our Brass Band.

    What a huge crowd. Great. Felt as if I am in Karkala Attur Jathre. We have never seen such a big crowd in any of Konkani cultural events. Madanthyar performance was too good. Best Programme by Ami Ani Amchi

    Amazing quality Programme organised by Ami Ani Amchi. Not less than ten thousand crowd was there on 2nd day. Entire ground of Kelarai was jam packed. We have never seen such a massive event of such a huge crowd in recent years. It was fascinating to see the excited crowd dancing volunteerly in large numbers. This is a historic event for Konkani. Best wishes to Ami Ani Amchi and Kelarai Parish Community.

    Congratulations to RANG TARANG MADANTHYAR team winning this great competition at Kelrai grounds. Indeed it is a moment for all the parishioners of Sacred Heart of Jesus Church Madanthyar. Keeping our brass band tradition with modern look, outstanding performance from young and old one was mesmerizing. We wish all the organisers and participants all the best.
