Konkani cinema

Konkani cinema is an Indian film industry, where films are made in the Konkani language, which is spoken mainly in the Indian states of Goa, Maharashtra and Karnataka and to a smaller extent in Kerala. Konkani films have been produced in Goa, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Kerala.[1]

As of 2013, when the Indian film industry celebrated its centennial, a total of 45 feature films were released.[2] This was an increase over a total of 31 films made until 2009 as documented by Isidore Dantas in his book Konkani Cholchitram.

The first full-length Konkani film was Sukhi Konn produced by GMB Rodrigues in 1949 but was never released. Mogacho Anvddo, was released on April 24, 1950, and was produced and directed by Jerry Braganza, a native of Mapusa, under the banner of ETICA Pictures.[3][4] Hence, 24 April is celebrated as Konkani Film Day.[5]
