“Payann” Konkani movie celebrating its 100th show.
A hit from the day of its release, the Konkani film “Payann”, produced by yodeling King Melvin Peris and Neeta Peris under the banner “Sangeet Ghar”, is entering its 100th day. Due to the limited market, making a movie in Konkani and delivering it to the scattered Konkani people is a challenging task. However, the team of “Payann” has worked tirelessly to ensure that the film achieves a 100-day run.
This milestone is a record for the Mangalorean Konkani-speaking community, as it is rare for a movie with a limited market to sustain such a long theatrical release.
“Payann” has created history as the second Konkani film to run for 100 days after last year’s “Osmitay.”
The movie narrates the life story of a musician who discovers that true harmony in life requires more than mastery of the art of music. The protagonist navigates the challenges of the music industry, confronting personal demons and unpredictable webs of deceit and craft. Driven by his desire to break the mold in the music industry and leave a legacy behind, “Payann” is a compelling tale of resilience and ambition.
The 100th-day celebration held on 29th December at 4:00 PM at Bharat Cinema in Bijai. Member of the Legislative Council, Mr. Ivan D’Souza, will be the chief guest for this event. Rector of St. Aloysius Educational Institutions, Rev. Fr. Melwin Joseph Pinto, and non-resident businessman Mr. James D’Souza from Dubai will be the guests of honor.
The creative team behind “Payann” includes Director Joel Pereira, who also wrote the story, screenplay, and dialogues. Roshan D’Souza Angelore served as the music director. Brian Sequeira, a young talent from Puttur, played the lead role, supported by heroines Jasmine D’Souza, Kate Pereira, and Shaina D’Souza. The ensemble cast includes Rainal Sequeira, Leslie Rego, Gerry Rasquinha, Walter Nandalike, Jeevan Vas, Jossey Rego, Alvin Danti, Albert Peris, Arun Noronha, Denver Peris, Denver D’Souza, and Melisha Pinto. Lyrics and music were composed by Melvin Peris, cinematography was handled by V. Ramanjaneya, and the film was edited by Mevin Joel Pinto, Shirthady.
