CHUKLELIM PANVLAM – declared A Super Hit Show by the Audience    
24th June 2005 witnessed a new era on the Konkani Stage in Kuwait.  Under the auspices of Ferns Brothers Production, Mario de Majorda staged his third  Konkani Drama, a suspense thriller titled "CHUKLELIM PANVLAM" (Strayed Footsteps) at the Hawally A/C Auditorium to a capacity crowd. The show, a  heart-stopper was declared a Super Hit by the crowd during the interval itself. It's truly unbelievable, as the reaction from the huge crowd was tremendous. This Tiatr (drama) lifted the Konkani stage to a new height with his unique presentation. The show got underway with a video projection depicting a funeral, followed by the titling thus introducing each artists – the presentation was truly wonderful.  There was no turning back as each item whether a song, play, comedy was a treat to watch.  Kudos to Mario de Majorda for a marvelous script. 
 

 
The suspense of the play got more intriguing with each scene which left the large audience glued to their seats.  Each artistes had taken great pains in performing their part to the best of their ability. To begin with Cajetan de Sanvordem as the Grand-father made his presence felt with his superb acting.  Adrian Gomes as the son was excellent.  Gracy Morais' role of a wicked daughter-in-law was enacted with much gusto which proved the Director's trust in her acting prowess. Teen Artist Master Jonathan was simply too good in his acting and while his sad role brought tears to the eyes of many, his witty dialogues were applauded with resounding claps. 
 
  Apparently Mario de Majorda must have put lot of hard work in grooming  Jonathan for this role as the results were quite rewarding. Donald Colaco, proved yet again why he is nick-named the Nana Patekar of the Konkani Stage.  His villain laced character was a turning point of the play as Donald did full justice to his tailor-made role.  The handsome Ulhas Tari and ravishing Jessica Gomes who were specially flown in from Goa for the very first time proved with their superb acting
 that they are thorough professionals; thus leaving a lasting impression in the minds of the Kuwait based Konkani lovers. Laurie Miranda, Joseph Rodrigues and Clara Rodrigues were very impressive in their cameo roles.  




  The back-ground music for the play and comedy was provided by the upcoming sensation Philip Gracias who did a wonderful job on the organ. Music for the play songs was masterminded by Maestro Socorro DeMelo. The visiting professional comedians Agostinho and Salvy along with Comedy Queen Querobina, and Rocky had a point to prove – that they have great respect for the Konkani lovers in Kuwait and will not take them for granted with cheap antics. 
 
 
 
The tedious task of firing with all barrels open in order to gain the confidence of Konkani tiatr lovers was always at the back of their mind.  Thus they came out strong with a superb blend of comedy to make the audience laugh their hearts out.  The comedy based on Chor-Police-Advocate in a family triangle added a feather in the hat of the director. The opening Chorus rendered by Anthony Ferns, Master Jonathan and Mario de Majorda with superb choreography by Ms. Conchita and Troupe was simply breathtaking and graceful. The music provided by professionals Socorro, Shahu, Faustinho, Dennis and Agnelo was quite memorable and kept the audience stunned, mesmerized and lost of words. All the 12 songs churned out by Jose Rod, Kuwait's Trio Kings Cajetan-Marcus-Mario, Young Trio Jonathan-Clifford-Terence, Michael D'Silva, Querobina Carvalho, Francis de Verna, Gracy Morais and Ulhas Tari were undoubtedly
 the best. However a little praise should go to Ulhas Tari who had the privilege to render his first ever solo on the Konkani Stage.  
 
 


T-Britton who made his first appearance in Kuwait with this show will be remembered by the Kuwait Konkani lovers for his repeat performance of his solo "Alice". The final video projection depicting a hotel scene was beautifully and professionally picturized on Gracy, Donald and Clara. It was note worthy to mention that till the final curtain was drawn the audiences were still glued to their seats wanting for more to come, as the suspense unfolded.
  During the interval the Chief Guest, GWS PRO Wilson Coelho praised Ferns Brothers for their hard work and tremendous efforts in presenting a unique drama. Ulhas Tari, Jessica Gomes, T-Britton, Comedian Salvy, Comedian Agostinho were felicitated by Kuwait Goan Association through their initiator Salvador Dias. Qerobina Carvalho and Cajetan de Sanvordem were felicitated by the Ferns Brothers for their contribution to the Konkani stage. 




 In fulfillment of his dream to utilize God's given talent for the benefit of the down-trodden, Mario de Majorda made it public that the proceeds of the show in the sum of Rs. 1,05,000/- would be spent for the welfare of the HOME FOR THE AGED facility in his home village, Majorda, Salcette and Rs. 10,000/- generated by organizing the game of HOUSIE played during the recess was contributed towards two handicapped individuals in the village of Curtorim, Salcette.  Sound system for the show provided by James Franco was superb and worth a mention. So also the Stage and Light setting by Leckinson.




 

 

Light effects were handled by Menino de Ribandar.  The back-drop of a rich mansion was crafted by Caetano Rodrigues.  Audio Visuals were done by Toni while T-Bush played a pivotal role with his selfless contribution.

With the huge Success of "Chuklelim Panvlam" Mario de Majorda has created a name for himself not only as one of the best Writer/Director/Actor/Composer/Singer but also as a kind hearted individual; and will be remembered by the masses for a long long time. A large number of distinguished Goan community leaders and social workers were among the audience.   
 
Keep it up and going, Mario.
