‘Mopa Diary’, a new Konkani film, is about to hit theatres soon. With the lead role played by John D’Silva, the film has been directed by Mahesh Rane and produced by Suresh Sinari of V P Sinari and Sons. The film has been edited by Sanjay Hosmane and Ketan Madiwale, with cinematography by Khushdeep Singh. The cast also includes Antonet DeSouza, Satish Gawas, Anil Pednekar and Pranjal Marathe.

Speaking about the film, John D’Silva says, “A few years ago, Konkani films were not released frequently. It is not enough that only movies are released, they should also be enjoyed by the audience. For the first time, I’m working on a thriller and I urge all Goans to watch ‘Mopa Diary’ in the theatre.”

The story is based on how a journalist lands up in Mopa village and finds out that there is more going on in the village than what meets the eye. “The film is based on a social issue and is a purely entertaining film, which is a murder mystery. John is known for his comedy and as the emperor of the Konkani stage but in this film, he is doing something from his own image,” says Director Mahesh Rane, who previously directed ‘Vizmit’. The 90 minutes film was shot in the villages of Savoi Verem, Vangurme, Mulgao, Tivim, Taleigao and Panjim.

The film will premiere on August 22, 2019 at 7:30pm at Pai Tiatrist Hall, Margao and the Panjim screening will be held on August 25, 2019 at ESG, Panjim at 3:30pm.
