Mangaluru Jul 15: The audio and trailer launch of the much-awaited Konkani film, ‘Nirmillem Nirmonem,’ was held at St Sebastian Church Mini Auditorium, Bendur here on Sunday, July 14.

Likewise, Konkani movies should make their impact felt.

I urge everyone to support our 'Nirmillem Nirmonem' movie,"
