‘SOPHIYA’KONKANI MOVIE’S ‘TICKETS RELEASED’ IN DUBAI BY REV.FR. ROBERT LASRADO

’Sophiya..A Dream Girl’ a super hit Konkani Movie produced by Janet Noronha Productions and directed by Bollywood & Bhojpuri Ace Director Harry Fernandes staring multi-lingual actress Esther Noronha, Elton Mascarenhas and Sheton Crasta is all set to hit UAE Theaters on 19th & 26th January with shows across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah & Al Ain.

In preparation for the above a ‘Ticket Release’ function was arranged yesterday at Winny’s Restaurant, Karama, Dubai at 7.30 pm attended by many Konkani & Tulu movie fans.  Priest of St. Mary’s Church Dubai, Rev. Fr. Robert Lasrado was the Chief Guest along with Singer, Actor Joseph Mathias of Merit Freight, Mark Denis, Patron of Sharjah Karnataka Sangha, Sophiya Producer Janet Noronha & Sandhya’s Creations Overseas Movies Distributor Shodhan Prasad.

Master of Ceremony, Uttam Menezes opened up the programme with welcome note and Prayer.  He then briefed on the recent trend of Konkani movies coming up and requested everyone to support the projects as a love towards our mother tongue.  He then requested Fr. Lasrado to bless the occasion who did the honours and then continued with the traditional lighting of the lamp by all the guests on the dais.
Fr. Lasrado speaking on the occasion said that everyone should dream of doing something for their community and convert this dream into reality.  This is one such effort done by Janet Noronha which others should follow, he said.  He also mentioned that Janet had called him and requested him to bless and support her movie.  ‘It is my duty to support all those who do good to their community and mother tongue’, he added and with prayer while concluding his speech he inaugurated and released the Tickets and blessed the occasion.

Joseph Mathias, a successful entrepreneur, philanthropist, singer and actor of Konkani Movies in his speech while thanking Janet for her effort also said that he is sad seeing the plight of his fellow Konkani Community leaders who otherwise should have been here in the function lending their support but missing to do their duty.  He was upset with those community leaders whom he always supported and thought they will also in turn support such events when Konkani is concerned. Konkani is a minority Community and if our own people do not come up and support then we cannot blame others for this, he added.

Mark Denis another successful entrepreneur and Patron of the well-known Sharjah Karnataka Sangha in his speech said that we need quality and not quantity.  He said that quality people are here in today’s function and that is what we need today.  He thanked Shodhan & Deepak for their role in supporting Konkani Movies in this part of the world and said that these two individuals will always make such events successful.  While promising his fullest support for ‘Sophiya’ he also congratulated Janet Noronha for her bold attempt.

The first ever Lady Producer of Konkani Movies, Janet Noronha briefed on the making of ‘Sophiya’ and all those hardships she had to face in the making.  She is happy that her hard work has yielded results with such whole hearted support from various sects of the Community wherever the film got released.  She also mentioned about the lead heroine, her daughter Ester Noronha in whom she had seen the spark of dancing, singing and acting talents.  Janet had to quit her job just to concentrate and support her daughter’s career, the result of which is a multitalented Ester Noronha who has for her credit various successful movies in Hindi, Marathi, Telugu, Kannada, Konkani & Tulu and also appreciations for her very many dancing shows worldwide.


Janet also mentioned that ‘Sophiya’ her maiden project is because of her love towards Konkani her mother tongue and she also added that the collection from Israel screening of ‘Sophia’ were handed over to a humanity Trust in Udupi adding their contribution to the Society
Well known international comedy star Deepak Paladka along with Sophiya Team’s, Roystan Balkunje were also present during the function.  ‘Sophiya’ is another directorial venture of Harry Fernandes who casted the same lead pair of ‘Sophiya’ in Nashibacho Khel released some time ago and who is coming up with ‘Zanvoy No. 1’ another Konkani Movie starring Deepak Paladka.

The programmed was ably conducted by M.C. Uttam Menezes who highlighted on the ‘Sophiya’ Movie and requested everyone to lend their supporting hand in making this release successful.

’Sophiya’ remains unique out of the many films released this year. The film being a family entertainer is being watched by women and children alike. The story received much praise from all quarters wherever released. A good message is delivered through the film to the audience with a dash of comedy.

With Lyrics by Ancy D’Souza Paladka & Harry Fernandes, Sophiya has soulful music composed by Gunwant Sen and sung by Ester Noronha, Anthony Tauro, Gunwant Sen, Dashiel Concessao & Roop Shaa.  Beautiful dances were ably choreographed by Dilip Mestry.  Picturesque locations were captured by Director of Photography, Shafeeq Shaikh which was crisply edited by Abhishek Maskar.  Action Director Sunil Rodigues has done justice to action scenes.  With the Art Direction of Wilfred Pinto the film has classic designer Suraj Ravi & Assistant Director, Roystan Balkunje  in the team.  The entire movie was capably handled by Production Manager, Satish Brahmavar.
Shodhan Prasad concluded the programme with vote of thanks.
