Well-known MC Uttam Menezes welcomed the audience and invited all the Guests on to the dais. He then gave a brief of the Film Asathoma Sadgamaya and the important message hidden in the movie which is ‘IQ verses EQ’. He said it is all about the family relationships and emotions when education system in India is concerned; and also connecting the current trend in the educational institutions especially those Government Schools which are fading away. The ‘taken for granted’ attitude by our own people has sidelined these institutions in front of English medium Institutions which boasts to be the best.

Utham then mentioned about the sudden death of Seema Alvares wife of actor Stany Alvares just a day ago in Mangalore and requested everyone to stand up in respect and have a condolence prayer for the departed soul to rest in peace.

Followed was prayer with ‘shanti mantra’ to inaugurate the programme and soon after was lighting the traditional lamp by all the guests on the dais. Actors Pradeep Barboza & Deepak Paladka also joined to do the honours.

Producer Ashwin later welcomed all the guests & audience and briefed on his journey from student to builder promoter and then into his venture in film making. He said this long journey gave him lot of experience into reality. He shared some of his past experience back in Moodabidri where he belongs to especially about his education tenure where and how he completed his technical qualification which has some connections to the story of the movie he has now produced. This inspired him to produce the movie and is happy that he is presenting a movie which has a beautiful message for the audience which is relevant in the current situation. Technically this movie is very well made and appreciated wherever released, he added. He said that obviously he has produced this movie to make money not for himself but if it does; it will provoke him to produce more movies in the future which will ultimately give entertain for all our Kannadigas. He said that there are lot of budding artistes in our Mangalorean circles whom we need to support and said he is happy to introduce Pradeep Barboza & Deepak Paladka to Sandalwood for the first time though they have already acted and well-known in Coastalwood movies.

The trailers of the film were then played with different versions which were well applauded by the audience.

Utham then requested Walter Nandalike of Daijiworld to speak about the movie he has witnessed during the Mangalore release and share his views. Walter started humorously and then said that normally he seldom watches movie in the theaters and even if he does he will not sit long and will come out before the interval itself. Asathoma Sadgamaya made him sit and watch till the end mainly because of the grip in suspense revealing.
