On 11th of this month at 7.00 PM in Panjim at Kala Academy A/C Hall, I saw the competition tiatro “ I love you” written and directed by the well known musician and script writer from Calangute, Mathias Mascarenhas. It was very well attended by the audience overwhelming majority from Calangute since this Tiatro is staged on behalf of Calangute Association and sponsored by 5 organisations and 12 individuals.

Mathias Mascarenhas is a name and fame not only in Calangute but all over Goa in this particular field winning prizes in the competitions too. In this Tiatro he failed to make maximum use of maximum number of best of available local artistes whose entry in this Tiatro could boost the image and improve the quality of this Tiatro very much, both from male and female segments.

No doubt the Tiatro was excellent and enacted well by all the artistes yet credit goes better to Ashwin and Trupti Kerkar for playing the roles of elderly couple nicely, so too Johny Mascarenhas, Sunshine Fernandes, Irene D’Souza and the writer/director himself for doing their respective roles well.
One more scene
A romantic scene

The story is surrounded mainly on the elderly couple, their family life and finally ending in their romance declaring their love to each other saying “I LOVE YOU”.
Solo by youngster Andrew
The comedy part was very intellectually depicted where you see the real intellectual part of the director and where again he brings his genius into play.

In the beginning especially the first “Pordho” was rather lengthy where in the end it found a bit dull but later on the entire matter was enjoyed by the audience. KUDOS TO MATHIAS MASCARENHAS.
Last scene
A duo by Salvador / Pascoal
In the Side Show songs, all songs were good especially the Duets and solos decent as well as comedy.
Musical score was well provided by Selvyn Braganza and his troupe.
Well done Congottcars.
