    It was a very good drama, that I have ever witnessed. Theme had a great depth and meaning, though as it began we did not realise what it was all about. Congratulations to you dear Mr. John Permannur and Good Luck to you in all that you do for the Mangalore Konkani Art. Good to see you were recognised and honoured.
    This drama has a valuable message to our present day youth, students and materialistic people. Reverence and Value for God and Prayers are deminishing slowly by the day, but this drama will enlighten such hearts I feel.

    Just a suggestion : May be you could have this script translated to English and have it played at various Catholic Education Institutions to enlighten the young minds and waken the young hearts.
    Good luck again and May God Bless You.

    Dear friends,

    It is indeed a selfless gift from the Writer/Director and the presenter to people in this lenten season. However, it would have been more productive if it was in Kannada language. Highlight of the event is that two prominent gentlemen among the audience sitting near Mr. Eric Ozario are literally sleeping.
