Plot

Savio, Julies and Regan are three brothers growing up under the tutelage of their sister in law, Anushka. Savio intends to become a Padri (Priest), Julius ekes out a living in a business company, and Regan is an engineer. Anushka grew up in an aristocratic family and rules the house. Her uncle, Roldhawa, on a short visit, schemes and destroys the family's peace. Anushka is an unwitting pawn in her uncle's intrigues.

Production

The film's idea came up when Rajesh Fernandes along with Raymond Quadros, during one of their visits to Goa, watched the play Padri by Prince Jacob. Soon, the idea of turning the play into a movie was born. The movie is unique in that all the actors and actresses acted on camera for the first time, but they are all professional stage artists. The whole movie was filmed in 2005 [1] without a single indoor shot in 26 days. In all, "it is a package to be viewed by the entire family with model clippings and modern anecdotes", according to director Fernandes. The censor board has given ‘U’ certificate without a single cut, he added. He said that the language used in the movie is a mixture of Mangalorean Konkani and Goan Konkani.
