London: Sandhya Creations second venture 'DHAND' created history of being the first successful houseful show of a Tulu movie in Leicester, U.K. screened at Piccadilly Cinemas, on Saturday the 3rd October, 2015 at 12 pm noon. This added one more feather to its credit as DHAND did a record two shows in Australia too recently.

It was a joint effort of few like minded Mangaloreans fans of Tulu in U.K. who joined together to bring DHAND for Tuluvas there. Those who worked hard for that included Owner of Tharavadu Restaurant, Prakash Mendonca, Tulu Community representatives Varun Shetty, Prathvi Shetty, Santosh Rai, Mangalorean United Konkani Association (MUKA) UK's John Peter Fernandes & with the leadership of smart and active Santhan Achunala who co-ordinated with Producer Shodhan Prasad in Dubai throughout.

Tuluvas from different parts of the U.K. arrived on bus, vehicles arranged by organisers and also there were snacks and lunch arranged for them. The show started exactly at 12 pm with loud cheers 'Jai ho Dhand' as many families including children were shouting with joy before the screen could open. Actor Sandeep Shetty's fans whistled continuously as they saw his entry on the screen. There was a loud sigh of joy as the film concluded as for the first time Tuluvas in United Kingdom could sit and enjoy watching a beautiful Tulu movie in Theatre which never happened before. .

As the movie ended and people came out of the theatre, Producer Shodhan Prasad had an live interaction through video chat from Dubai and everybody cheered and said 'awesome movie' it was much more than what we expected. Good direction by Ranjith Bajpe, the story line with social message and soulful music, was equal to a Bollywood movie, said some. Most of them thanked the producer and the organisers for bringing such a beautiful movie to them. Everybody requested for more such movies in future and also wanted NIREL movie also to be screened in U.K. soon. The news reached other groups in U.K. who are planning for another show of DHAND soon in London.

Organisers arranged a after party for everybody soon after the show and there they were together humming the Sonu Nigams song in the movie 'Ninna Thelikenu Kannu Muchhidu Kana Kattudu Vora Thuye'
