Comedian Agostinho's tiatr 'Sir'

Sacrifice for a Cause

- by J P PEREIRA


Comedian Agostinho's tiatr titled 'Sir' was a path breaker when it was released, depicting a tale with a difference. Manfa Video, Margao have released a telefilm of the same drama.

This is a tale of an upright college professor, who sacrifices his happiness and future progress to upkeep his principles, against a rowdy student who later turns into a corrupt and greedy politician. The professor suffers a lot at the hands of the politician but as is said, each one pays for his or her own misdeeds.

A good script from Augustinho and the tight screenplay from Fabian G da Costa keeps the viewer engrossed. The two principal characters are played by Mathew Araujo as the professor and Salu de Loutulim as the politician. Both give wonderful performances, especially Mathew, in the latter half. Others in the cast are Roma, Meena, Osvi Viegas, Samuel Carvalho and Joaquim Cabral, Selvy, Crizon, Benny J Rebello and Agostinho provide lots of humour to offset the seriousness of the main story.
Norman Cardoso provides the music. Yogesh Mandrekar�s photography coupled with Santosh Shetkar's editing adds to the slickness of a well told tale.

A must watch! Do buy your own copy, it is worth it.
