Kuwait August 10: Winner of 3 International Awards for his Short Film 'The Letter', Goa born writer-director-Producer T-Bush’s full length, Konkani mega feature film entitled "BLACK NHESOP ATANCHEM FASHION” had its grand release on August 10, 2007 at Al Masrah, Hawally Auditorium, Kuwait. The program started at 4 pm with lighting of traditional lamp by Indian ambassador to Kuwait his Excellency M. Ganapathi, writer-director-Producer T-Bush and Sadashiva Joshi who specially came from Goa for the premier. Both Ganapathi and Sadashiva Joshi spoke about the film and director.
T-Bush was honored by fruits and traditional shawl by ambassador to Kuwait his Excellency M. Ganapathi. Mementos were presented to the artists and sponsors by T-Bush. Vote of thanks was presented by Gracy and program was compered by the actor Sylvester Vaz. The premier was started by opening the curtain by his Excellency M. Ganapathi and T-Bush.
The specialty of film is that it was shot entirely in Kuwait under the banner 'T-Bush International Films'. The film was screened on a wide screen with high quality ‘E-Cinema Technology’ projection which is first time in Konkani.
The movie revolves around a musician who is involved in trivial assignments of traditional music. Culture and music means everything to the self-born maestro who just cannot give up on his passion for music. His effort to persuade the young genre to keep the art living in the face of fading tradition runs to an emotional zenith as the movie unfolds. At the second part it puts light on the sentiments of parents whose children are in Gulf who does not want to visit their motherland.
The premier was a houseful show and to satisfy the excess Konkani movie lovers, a second show was arranged at 8 pm. The event of the day was coordinated by Diany Coutinho and Nitin Castelino.
