This prompts the band to look out for a female singer to join them as they feel that could be the difference in making it big. They are, however, laughed upon by another group and eventually turned down. The movie kicks off in the suburbs of Bombay where a lead singer and his band are auditioning for a presumably renowned club by singing the first song of the movie, "Cu Cu Ru Cu". T-Bush Rebello, who produced Goa's first ever E-Cinema, is in-charge of the technicalities while DJ Mario will be in control of sound engineering. Some of the film's makers are expected to be in attendance including Bardroy Barretto the director, mastermind behind the film. First show of the 1000-capacity American International School hall is already sold out, according to the organizers. The buzz is extraordinary for a Konkani show in Kuwait. Goan Cultural Centre, under the leadership of President Carmo Santos - one of the co-producers and a face seen in the movie as well, has left no stone unturned to ensure a quality theatre and special screen alongwith state-of-the-art Dolby sound that will be specially made available by the hall authorities. The songs are re-recorded beautifully, keeping the time and milieu of the film in mind. The movie, as a result, boasts of one of the finest soundtracks - 20 timeless Konkani songs of the 60s and 70s written by legendary Chris Perry and sung by Goa’s nightingale Lorna. There is a passion about this movie, arguably the best ever Konkani movie ever made, that is best experienced on the big screen. A wait to get nostalgic about the good old days and celebrate old Goan music. It has been a long wait for the large Goan community working in this oil rich country – a wait to watch the award winning movie ‘Nachom-ia Kumpasar’ (Dance to the Rhythm) which apparently has a strong Goan connection. A story that seeps through its soul and touches every single generation in a way that only they know.
