37th tiatr Competition 2011 - TUMI AMKAM ZAI

Family with two sons. One is a Lawyer and the other is a Doctor in a hospital.

Doctor has bungalows and properties worth crores of rupees and where these money coming from?

Body organs removing and selling racket headed by the doctor himself.

With his power and money, the doctor thinks no can beat him, not even his own lawyer brother.

Well, his brother did try to file case against him (doctor) and the hospital for illegal body parts smuggling etc but his daughter was kidnapped not for monetary ransom but withdrawal of the case in exchange. Again, the doctor involved in kidnapping.

How long can the doctors carryon with such illegal activities?

Every dog has it’s day. After carefully investigating the racket, the doctor's case is finally handed over to CBI with all the possible hard evidence gathered against him by none other than his very own father. But before CBI reaches him, the doctor uses the quickest available route to escape from this world.

Well, it’s not an easy task to expose & prosecute such rich and wealthy cheats (doctors in this case)

The family says ‘ to do anything like that or to weed out any such malpractices prevailing in the society there is an urgent need of public support’ in other words, ‘we need you’

TUMI AMKAM ZAI was the 15^th Tiatr entry in the ongoing 37^th Tiatr Competition organised by Kala Academy of Goa and supported by TAG. Staged on 18^th Oct. 2011.

With this, we are now half away through the competition i.e. another 15 still to go.

The tiatr has a good message.

It also exposed some corrupt photojournalists - blackmailing women etc

Besides, it talked about greed, kidnapping, worshiping other gods, black magic etc

Sons roles well played by Mathew Marcarenhas and Jason Rodrigues, their wives being Magdalene Fernandes and Meena Fernandes. Parents being Agnelo d’souza nd Viena Cardozo and the little one by Eliza Cardozo. Ragoba, the Balla or gaddi played by Deepak Mandrekar

Corrupt Photojournalist role very well played by Kalpesh Fondekar, remember seeing him last year’s competition too as Patrakar.

Comedy by Com Michael and Com. Jimmy

Tiatr had about 12 songs sung by Anil-Olga, Jr. Francis de Mandrem, Romaldo Fernades, Terrence or Terrance de Arambol, Freddy. Besides, Meena, Mathew, Jason, Viena, Com. Michael and Com. Jimmy also sang.

Alfred and Evarist sang a duo on the faithful dogs (8) which delayed their master’s (Philip Rodrigues) funeral by an hour, recently at Panjim. watch video below. Infact, this is the second song in the ongoing competition on the same topic.

A song on Bl. Jose Vaz (Anil-Olga) was my favourite. audio part added to the Video clip.

Band by Piety Fernandes and his team. Band's intro also added to the clip - playing 1966 ' Oh, dance, dance, dance to my ten guitars..'

Tiatr written by Joaquim Faleiro (Bhusan Sanskrutik Sangh, Morjim, Goa).
Today’s tiatr opened at the hands of a Goa state award winner for Drama (1982) and a regular member of the audience Dr. Gerry Rodricks (see pic)
